The Inn is like a European guest house. Very low key and welcoming. There is also a nutritious and well chosen complementary breakfast buffet.

Liked: Cleanliness
A little worn, could do with being redecorated, bathroom updating, and so on. No daily housekeeping unless guests request it during a limited time in the afternoon when they are likely to be out. Odd. Can’t put anything in the housekeeping tip envelope if there isn’t any! However, very convenient and acceptable in all other respects.

Historic Inn is sure to Delight!

Wonderful slice of history in San Anselmo that also pays homage to Star Wars’ creator George Lucas who is a resident in this community. Very peaceful setting and walkable to a variety of nice restaurants and shops. Breakfast was delightful.

Massive Disappointment

Extremely disappointed! Thought I had booked a cute, well-maintained, converted historical building. Instead, I walked into what can be best described as a nice hostel. The patio and restaurant were closed. There was no reception - our room key was on a table in an envelope with my name on it. The building had an old, musty odor. Our room faced the alley so we were woken up by trash trucks emptying dumpsters. It was smaller than our son’s room. The bathroom was atrocious. Overall, the advertised pictures were seriously deceptive.
Less than 3ft on either side of the bed. Just enough room to open the door.
Sink behind the room door and next to the tv was 4ft from the bed.
Building location is great but San Anselmo is a sleepy DT that doesn’t open until 11am and with a tiny, uncomfortable room that makes for a disappointing experience.
