Great weekend

Stayed here for a family wedding and found the restaurant on the facility to be one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever eaten at Marcello and his staff were friendly. The place is cute and quaint and well taken care. Definitely the best value in the Bay Area and Marin County.

This establishment is a quaint motel, it has a restaurant (Italian) attached to the property. Check in was simple, room was small but had everything we needed for our 1 night stay, price was good too. The room was clean & comfortable. 10/10 from us.

Good Stay

Our stay was good. The clerk at check in was very nice. The bed mattress was very old and the bed squeaked. It was comfortable enough though.

No hot water in the room. The handle on the mixing valve was busted and busted for some time. There's no way I was the first one to notice. Very disappointed

Spacious and quiet, but dated rooms

The motel was fine for a quick stay. I came with a coffee machine, fridge and a microwave. The carpets looked really old and dirty and the bathroom was clearly dated from the 80's. It was quite spacious and quiet. The continental breakfast was quite filling and the lovely lady made us waffles, which was a great touch to the usual donuts as a continental breakfast in other motels.

Peaceful property, older and vintage but still pleasant. Cleanliness of the bathroom needed to be better as there were cobwebs in the window and splats on the wall. Beds were comfortable.

Will travel for a race!

This is an older hotel - kinda feels like visiting my grandma. That said, the rooms are spacious, the folks are super friendly. If you need 5-star, go elsewhere. If you want friendly and affordable with good amenities, stay here. I stay here every time I travel to a Bay Area race.
