Built like a fortress. Loved our walled outdoor sitting area for morning coffee. Excellent breakfast choices each morning & good strong coffee. Only negative was a small elevator to haul your luggage upstairs in.

We liked everything about this stay. Great room, staff, breakfast, parking, luggage carts, location. Very comfortable and good value for the relatively low price for Marin County. The only thing we noticed that fell short was that the cleaning staff had to share the smallish elevators with the guests making it awkward and they had very big unwieldy supply carts. They were very pleasant and gracious.

Wonderful place to stay close to San Francisco. Very clean, newly remodeled, great relaxing pool and ping pong in the back. Felt like someone’s backyard so quiet and personal even right off the free way. Would very highly recommend for a super nice place to stay for a good price.

Highly recommend the deluxe room, the extra space was so nice to have. The staff also were accommodating to hold our luggage after we checked out so we didn't have to carry with us during the day. Overall great stay! Will stay at a best western plus again.

The first morning I found the coffee in the breakfast area to be really weak, but it was fine the following morning. The rooms are comfortable and quiet!

Lobby area was updated and looked nice but the rooms were very average. Beds were hard and uncomfortable and ac blew directly into the bed by the window. Bathroom only had a single sink and shower had a curtain instead of a glass door. Water pools on the floor during shower. I did like the cleanliness of the shower room. It seemed like that part of the bathroom had been redone with new tile and caulk which I was very thankful for.

My review would have been five stars for everything but, I was unable to take a shower because the water temperature was scalding and you couldn't get it cooler than that. When I called the front desk about it, they said there was nobody available that could repair it until the next day after I checked out

The room is clean. The service is great, and the staff are friendly. A variety of different options served at breakfast. Most importantly, I had requested a room on higher floor and away from the elevators (if available) when I made my reservations. BW accomodated my request, which I very much appreciate. The only con for us would probably be the location. The hotel is located in a more remote area, right off the Hwy 101, so you could hear the traffic on the highway.

Overall, the stay was wonderful, clean and comfortable. My only gripe is that the breakfast was quite lackluster. Missing breakfast items like bacon was a big problem for me and my partner, especially when the sausage was too spicy. Also, the waffle batter was very thin and they sucked.

Nice hotel, would love an indoor pool and hot tub, rooms not cleaned every day, larger bath towel would be nice, would be nicer of bacon was on breakfast options. Really liked the local yogurt. Liked the lobby coffee machine. Most of the front desk were lovely except for one rude/stuck up lady who came accross like she thought she was better than everyone else a bit off putting, she seemed to work the day shift. Would be nice if the rooms had a slightly larger kitchenette area.
