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.

The bathroom had a terrible smell like sewage. They didn’t have another room so I had to stay in that one. I left the fan on in the bathroom all night and shut the door, but I still smelled it in the night. It was disgusting.
