This motel is in a great location, but otherwise you get what you pay for - not the cleanest, pillows pretty uncomfortable, and very noisy if on the 1st level. Also be careful pulling in and out- there’s a lot of traffic on the main road and difficult to take a left out of there.

The bathroom was filthy: there were long hairs and dirt in the tub. The top comforter had a cigarette burn as well as a very large hole exposing the stuffing. The coffee pot was missing. The room smell was very unpleasant. We were there for a single night due to a work event, so we thankfully did not spend much time in the room. Though we are frequent travelers through the area, we would never ever stay there again.

The bathroom door latch was broken and the door kept swinging open while using. A truck was blocking the entramce to the parking lot one day and we had to backout into busy traffic to bypass the blocked driveway. The truck was there blocking entry for more than an hour. The beds were clean and comfortable.

We stay at many hotels for our travels, this by far was the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in! The room was filthy, walls were damaged and dirty along with the baseboards, bathroom was filthy, shower, curtain, and tub, or filthy, no soap for the bathroom sink, Air conditioner unit made loud noise cannot even turn it on, floors were filthy, bed line isn’t comforter and pillowcases dirty, this hotel should not be listed on your website , I can’t believe this hotel is even a business with these types of rooms. The amount of terrible reviews on a Google search is unbelievable, but hotels.com reviews are nearly as bad for some reason?? This place is a dump, we stayed in room 116 at the back of the hotel, we were so exhausted. You stayed there anyway without any sleep, unfortunately. Unbelievable!

Parkin is very secure, and our room is very quiet on the backside of the building. They also let us check in early. Very nice owners, and the location is very good for access to Sausalito.

The rooms were disgusting, they smelled like throw up and filth. I couldn’t bear to stay there so I left. The people around the parking lot were super sketchy. There was no way I could ever feel safe in a place like this hotel. Don’t believe the 3.5 stars or the 7.4 rating.
