Check in person was totally non-enthusiastic. Did not make me feel welcome at all. The room was OK. Bathroom very small. Wires showing under the television unsightly. Very nice bed and very nice shower. Best was being able to park right in front of our door. All in all, just fair.

I booked Muir Woods Lodge. The key card said Muir Woods Lodge & Hotel. The sign out front said Muir Woods Motel - which was exactly right! It’s an old, smelly motel. The ice machines didn’t work nor did the coffee dispenser in the lobby.

Beautiful Lodge in Nature with Kind Lodge Hosts

Beautiful Lodge in Nature with kind lodge hosts. Rooms are clean and have the most comfortable beds on earth. I have never slept better. The management is so kind and professional. They go out oof their way to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I stay in this Lodge when I come to SF for business, to get away from the busy city and relax. I also stay here when I bring my family for vacation. Mill Valley, Marin and Sausalito are wonderful to shop and eat at. The best is the Muir Forest and Beaches near by. What a beautiful city and charming lodge to stay at. My favorite part is the other guests that stay here, they are so cool and good vibes, on vacation.

Great Price & comfortable bed!

This older Lodge building looks like it's recently been renovated. The room was lovely. The bed was awesome. The pillows were great. The microwave worked great. I didn't use the coffee machine. They have an ice bucket but they don't have an ice machine. So be sure to grab a bag of ice at the Smart& save if you need it.
