I loved everything about this hotel. It's right in town, you can walk to the Dipsea Trail. There's a fabulous breakfast spread (though they could use more vegan options) and there's also a wine evening event most nights.

Miguel put on a beautiful wine and cheese presentation. He was very professional and knowledgeable about the wines and a gracious host. We also enjoyed the expansive variety of delicious breakfast foods. I’m also a big fan of Pete’s coffee. 😊. I happen to be born on April 1, 1966 in Berkeley, the actual time and place Pete’s opened.

Location was excellent. We walked everywhere. The hotel layout is a bit cut up with its stairs as the most efficient way to get to the room or breakfast. Otherwise a lovely property to stay in the heart of Mill Valley.
