My husband and I stayed in a standard room with a balcony for three nights to recharge. It was a safe, cozy, clean, and convenient place to stay if you want to hike in Muir Woods and the Tamalpais Mountains. The continental breakfast and service were excellent. I highly recommend this place. Thank you.

Nice stay!

Great hotel right in the redwoods. Walks from the hotel into the woods is amazing! We did a day of just walking around in and out of the walking paths in the neighborhoods around the local area. Obviously you can walk right downtown too for a quick food comedy show across the street and shopping. The hotel room has everything situated nicely with good amount of furniture. Good space hooks in the bathroom for the towels, etc. staff was helpful and kind!
