Rooms are cozy and clean, staff was helpful and professional. Check in and out was easy. Very good place to stay if planning on hiking around Tomales Bay, short drive to Point Reyes Station, where there are a few restaurants, shops, and a grocery store. Loved staying here and getting up early to see the sunrise over the bay. Would stay here again!

Not a “Five Star Resort” but earned 5 stars from me. Counter staff were friendly and helpful, rooms were basic but very clean and cozy. Great views, pool was nice. Didn’t try the restaurant onsite but locals recommended it. Just beware, if you’re staying during the week, almost all local restaurants close by 8pm, so factor that into your day plans. Great easy access to Point Reyes Park

Took a trip with my daughter grandson and his friend. It was great fishing. We actually saw someone catch a bat ray right off the dock in front of the hotel. Staff was very kind and helpful. It’s a great place for paddle boarding fishing hanging out in the water nice and quiet staff is very friendly. The restaurant was great also

From arrival we were pleasantly surprised and treated well, Sophia at the front desk checked us in after the front desk had closed. She also suggested a great place to eat (The Tap Room in Inverness Park...yumm!). The property has sitting areas throughout and we were able to watch the stars at night! We will definitely be back!
