Great rooms, great views, great staff, great perks, marred slightly by the location right next to the 101 freeway and in an office park. Lots of noise when sitting outside, ok in rooms, and nowhere to walk to. But, if you can get past that, which is significant, you get modern rooms, all with a view of the bay, free breakfast (which is seriously good), free bike rentals, free wine and cheese in the evening, free cookies at night, friendly service, and the Bay. No view of SF, but nice mountain view. Will be boggy depending on tide, but waterfowl didn't care. Nice bike/walking path around, just nowhere you can actually walk to under a few miles, i.e., no restaurants, bars, etc. But again, other than that and the freeway noise, this place is top notch.

The hotel is in a great location on the water, clean, bright and spacious rooms. The views are stunning. The breakfast is excellent offering hot & cold options with a coffee bar for lattes, etc. They offer free wine & cheese and cookies everyday. The front desk staff were so very nice too. The one downside was not having a safe in the room especially when you’re on the frat floor with sliding glass doors. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

I would stay here again. The common seating areas were beautiful, and between breakfast, wine and cheese, and evening cookies there was always a small touch to elevate the stay. Very convenient location to catch the highway into San Fran or to go deeper into Mill Valley. The hotel is right beside a highway which surprised me but once checked in that was easy to forget. And, the walls into the hallway could use a little sound proofing as I could hear the knocks on other doors. But again these felt minor enough that I would stay again.
