Marin Lodge

Lincoln

10/10 Excellent

The room was clean and fresh. The bed linens were crisp and clean. The room was equipped with a coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, iron, flat screen tv, and hair dryer. Complimentary bottled water, coffee, fruit and pastries are provided in the main office in the morning. The hotel staff was friendly, even going so far as to remember and address me by my name when greeting me in the morning. My primary complaints would be 1) the road noise, which, for the most part can be shut out by...

Mill Valley Inn

Downtown Mill Valley

10/10 Excellent

Just popped in for a quick one night stay - to visit friends nearby. The location was amazing - very cute town with fun shops and cafes. Nearby is a beautiful public library and playground in the middle of a redwood forest - great to walk through. Room was large (19) with high ceilings and large bathroom . Free continental breakfast served in the sunroom in the AM. Unfortunately we missed out on the wine and cheese hour. Would gladly stay again!

Downtown San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

Their guest service is a 20/10. I called earlier in the week to ask about arriving early and parking. They were gracious and accommodating, saying we could check into our room if it was ready when we arrived. On arrival, the doorman (shamefully I didn’t get his name) was welcoming, friendly and efficient. I had injured my knee a couple of days earlier and was on crutches and he did everything he could to help me. At the front desk, Jared and Dominique were warm, welcoming, professional and...

Hotel Mac

Point Richmond

10/10 Excellent

This is our second time at this hotel. We found it by chance last year on a road trip and sought it out again this year on a road trip to look at California colleges. Hotel Mac is a historical hotel with so much charm and character. It is so refreshing to avoid chain hotels and find gems like this. Check in is contactless and easy to navigate with free, convenient parking. The town is walkable and the charm continues there. In a short outing to find dinner, my family saw people going into...
