This is a convenient, inexpensive hotel we chose to stay at on our way to Point Reyes. The place is obviously pretty old, so nothing is new and shiny, but it does the job. Bed was pretty comfy, pillows were very lumpy, there are some stains on things just due to wear and use but they had been cleaned. Breakfast was complimentary but a little subpar, no tea bags although there was hot water, and the milk was spoiled. Staff and service was friendly and quick. Personally I would come back if I were in the area since the price is right, but if you're looking for a more luxurious stay with all the bells and whistles then this isn't the place for you.

Staff lays on the couch in the lobby and considers it an affront to be asked a question or print a receipt. Towels were hard to find. TV didn’t work so well. Lights didn’t all work.

The office was closed I had to find another place to stay

Conveniently located for car travel. Friendly service. Good price.

The owner/operator doesn't expect repeat business. Rude front desk and poor room conditions. Dirty everywhere. Power plugs unsafe and no covers, TV that goes off line at will with owner saying we'll be there in a couple hours. Kitchen area dirty and uncleaned. Bathroom paint failing everywhere.

I liked that it was in a neighborhood, A Quiet Neighborhood. Also,very close to Stores, Restaurants & other like stuff. Was Very upset, that the pool was not available. Was told it was due to Covid. We stayed on Sun May 29th. Other Hotel/Motels had there pools open. Just Sayin.

Comfortable and good wide parking spaces. Nice staff

The wallpaper was peeling off in the bathroom and everything was water damaged.. rude people on staff. I also had a crazy man knock on my at 9:30 at night. Wanting to talk.

The front desk never can’t find my reservation. Very rude person, the charge is pending let see!!

pleasant stay. i would stay there again. feasable price.

Repeated early knocking at the door with a do not disturb sign on the handle. Two times in 20 minutes. Management could care less.
