Hotel located right on edge of a marsh. Made for a peaceful walk and bird watching. Room was clean and quiet except for upstairs neighbors for a bit in the evening. Bed comfortable. Breakfast had wide variety to choose from. Cheerful and helpful check-in clerk. He recommended East Brother pub next door. Went for early dinner and found all food was excellent and service staff attentive and friendly. I’ll stay again!

Very good location if one is familiar with Marin. Close to the freeway, quiet, good walking/biking trail, free bike rental. Many dining options close by. For casual meal and great snacks go to Good Earth which is better than Whole Foods and closeby. In n Out burger is also close, wide variety of dining options in Sausalito which is beautiful and romantic.

Only complaint I have is the breakfast…was expecting staples such as scrambled eggs and bacon, they didn’t have that. Other wise, great experience overall.
