What guests think

At The Gables Inn Sausalito, travelers consistently praise the walkable, central location near the waterfront and ferry, along with scenic bay views from some rooms, while feedback on the historic property notes both charm and shortcomings tied to its age.

Many guests find the staff welcoming and helpful with local tips, though several describe aloof or unresponsive service and limited front desk hours. Rooms range from spacious with balconies and comfortable beds to dated or sparsely furnished, with recurring reports of no air conditioning, warm temperatures, and noise from thin walls or street level. On-site parking is limited, tight, and charged daily, and there is no on-site breakfast, though restaurants are plentiful nearby. Expect a charming stay in a prime spot with notable trade-offs.

MAKE SURE YOU GET A ROOM WITH A VIEW OF THE BAY. LOCATION IS SUBERB BUT PARKING CAN BE A PROBLEM.

This is a very old hotel but they’ve done a good job of updating the rooms & appointments in the rooms. Love the claw foot bath tub in the Juniper Room. But the stairs are very steep and no elevator. Heating is quirky. Location is great…steps away from the ferry station.

Parking is limited. If you don't get in there 7 spots you were pushed elsewhere. $30 for parking should be included as the cost of the room is a bit excessive. Nice room and deep tub was relaxing.

Parking is an issue. Was not told about additional spaces and when returned late in evening had to call for info. Additionally outside door by room 104 NEVER shut correctly, leaving the hall open to the public. as a single woman traveling this is really not acceptable.

We stayed in the Cedar Room. Nice setup. Zachariah was very informative about the best places to eat. Great location, so didn’t have to drive around. Just walk. Only problem was the parking. Tight garage had a water pipe and I backed in and hit a water pipe and smashed the car taillight.

Overall the inn was nice but we are older and the 3 flights of steep stairs was brutal. They need to put a warning on that room. The place was clean and the man at the desk was nice . But boy the stairs alone would keep me from staying there again.

Very nice and cozy feel to this inn. The few things I had a problem with was 1, being charged 30 for parking 5 hours (not overnight) and that I couldn’t reach a staff member. When I needed.

We absolutely loved the property and the rooms. There was an awful smell in our room that would not go away. The fan system did not clear out the smell and the room was uncomfortably warm. I believe someone snaked in the room often which made the filters smell as well. I told the people at the front desk and they are going to try and clean it out. But other than the smell everything was great.

Lovely people, beautiful old historic feeling place. There were a few idiosyncrasies related to it being an older building that were not ideal for a romantic anniversary trip (needing a loud fan and sleeping with windows open, a little less private feeling than expected including on the balcony), also the decor in the room left a little to be desired, but despite those types of things, it’s a beautiful unique place right downtown, and we loved our experience and being walking distance from everything. Also the staff was very very kind! Thank you :)

We stayed 4 nights. Rooms were large. Bedding and pillows were wonderful and I slept very well. Location was great, just off the main walkable street with many shops and restaurants. My sisters family’s room had an outdoor patio off the sidestreet with a bay view where all seven of us could gather each day. We walked to the ferry and took it to San Francisco where we took a streetcar to the end of the route and walked a couple blocks to a bike shop for a scheduled bike tour that ended in Sausalito. We also took a day trip to John Muir Woods, an old growth coastal redwood forest about a 20 minute drive NW. Weather was excellent the whole time. Sunny and 70,s.

This cute hotel feels cozy and has great views of Alcatraz and SF. Cute little balconies to sit and have a drink on. No breakfast or food on site, but walkable to everything. Our room was super roomy. No A/C, but we slept with windows open and had a nice breeze through the room. It has a bit of an older feel to it, but we found that super charming. Would come back!

The room was clean and had personality. Our room had a beautiful bay window with casement windows that opened above the street. However, the room was warm and the thermostat didn’t work. We opened the window for cool air in the evening. The shower was in an attractive claw style old fashioned tub. It is romantic looking, but not practical if you are older. I enjoyed having our room open to a hallway that was near a doorway to the street that was near all of the downtown attractions.

Great location, right in the middle of town. Wasn't aware there was a $30 parking fee until I saw it on my credit card later. Room was nice, but lots of scuff marks on the walls. Also as we were on ground level and pretty much on the street it was difficult to open the one window we had without feeling exposed to passers by. Would stay again, but would request a different room.

When I received a call from the front desk to ask what time I was checking in or if I needed a parking space, he was not very kind at all. We’ve never been there before. How would I know if I needed a parking space. When I was questioning that he didn’t seem very friendly. Upon arrival, it appeared that he the front desk did not enjoy his job and did not want to be bothered by anybody. Very disappointing when you’re going to a place like that spending a lot of money.

The room was nice and spacious and we liked the balcony and view BUT the front desk person couldn’t be bothered with basic customer service. Prior to arriving the front desk person called to enquirer about the timing of our arrival, I told him around 2:30 and he said see you then. When we arrived just after 3, he checked us in and directed us to our room. We carried our luggage up to a room that was still being cleaned. When we came back down and told him our room wasn’t ready he didn’t even react, just “oh it’s not ready”. We walked to the town for about 20-30 minutes. When we walked in he saw us but said nothing. I walked upstairs to see the room was still not ready. Again, no reaction. We sat in the lobby waiting and not once did the front desk person acknowledge the inconvenience, offer any updates on when the room would be ready, offer us any water, apologize for the delay, etc. We continued to wait in the lobby for another 20 minutes until we could access our room, 1 hour after the official 3pm check in time. We are reasonable people and understand that things happen and rooms may not be ready at check in time but it was the total lack of acknowledgment or any customer service that was so off putting.

We stayed in 2019 and loved it and now the breakfast is gone (they claim Marin county wont allow it even though covid era mandates are over for a long time now) and the room was terrible (yellow stained curtains and no AC) Skip this place and stay at Casa Madrina (we will next time)
