What guests think
Muir Woods Lodge is a basic roadside motel in a very convenient spot for Muir Woods, Sausalito, and the Golden Gate, with small rooms, noticeable traffic noise, and cleanliness that varies widely across stays.
Many guests appreciate easy parking, reasonable prices, comfortable beds, and some recently updated interiors. Recurring issues include dirty or poorly maintained bathrooms, sewage or musty odors, pests, and broken or noisy HVAC, TVs, and fridges. Service ranges from friendly and accommodating to absent or brusque, and the advertised breakfast is generally coffee only. Expect a simple, no-frills stay focused on location over polish.

(1) There was a discarded box of "bug/insect foggers" laying near my room door when I checked in, and the box was still there being tossed around by the wind when I checked out, which suggests that no one is inspecting the premises for trash/debris, etc.(2) The coffee machine in the lobby has limited availability, from 7:00am-11:00am only. (3) Getting in and out of the parking lot is really unsafe and dangerous with the fast-moving traffic, and takes entirely too much time;(4) The parking spaces in the back lot are not marked properly. The spaces are not in alignment and too narrow.

I booked Muir Woods Lodge. The key card said Muir Woods Lodge & Hotel. The sign out front said Muir Woods Motel - which was exactly right! It’s an old, smelly motel. The ice machines didn’t work nor did the coffee dispenser in the lobby.

Nice efficient cozy room. Comfortable bed, good shower. I noticed there were pay washers & dryers & nice upper deck sitting areas. Great value. A little noisy because we were on the street side, but there're rooms around the back that are probably quieter.

Cleanliness
Feedback is mixed: some rooms are clean and freshly updated, but many guests report dirty floors and linens, moldy or smelly bathrooms, and occasional pests (cockroaches, and a few mentions of bedbugs). Housekeeping consistency is a recurring concern.

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!

First room I checked into has an AC unit that screeched and a bathroom covered in mold. Second room he let me in had a beeping fire alarm right outside plus no working key. The man at the front desk told me I would have to come ask him to let me in every time I left. Third room was the best of the three, until I noticed an adult bedbug on my mom’s pillow. I looked on my bed and immediately saw a baby bedbug too. We brought them to the front desk and asked for a refund as we were clearly not going to stay at a hotel with bedbugs. He said he would refund me but that hasn't been the case so far. Spend a few dollars extra and stay at the Holiday Inn across the street.

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 pictures combined with the name were misleading, especially after spending the previous 3 nights along the ocean or redwoods. Closest food was across the street, but trying to cross the street on foot was taking your life in your hands due to traffic. The room looked like it was “recently” renovated, but the bathroom was so small I had to stand in the bathtub to shut the door.

It was mostly a perfectly good 1 or 2-star motel with free parking and a convenient location near Sausalito. The reason I marked it down to average was the walls are paper thin and I was kept awake until midnight by ordinary sounds from the room above. Also, the toilet was loose, though that didn't cause any actual problems other than unsteadiness.

Room was large enough for two people. Small dresser could not be utilized as the ac/heater unit blocked the drawers from opening. Bathroom was large, lots of hot water. No sign in the room to decline housekeeping. I'm sure the front desk would have provided one if asked.

I rarely leave reviews but I think it's important for other solo travelers (especially females) to know my experience. I stayed on a ground level room, which is not my preference but all they had. At 11pm I was in bed sleeping when I heard someone trying to open my door. They used a key card and successfully unlocked the door and attempted to enter, but fortunately I had the manual chain/stopper in place so they could only open it a crack. I jumped up from bed and yelled, and they left. The only way this could have happened is if the lodge either booked them for the same room that I was already occupying or if the key cards are not unique per room. Either way, they screwed up and I was left feeling very unsafe there the rest of the night. There was no one working when I checked out, so I am sharing my feedback here.

When I arrived for my stay, there was no one in the office, the door was locked, and no one would answer the phone. I had to go find a place to stay late at night due to this. I’d prepaid for the room which led me to paying for two hotels for one night. Can’t speak for the room as I obviously never saw it but I wouldn’t book here again.

I wish I didn’t choose this lodge. We planned a family trip to Muir Woods and picked this lodge for my stay due to the good reviews. We need an extra bedding and my kids asked the office. They came back with nothing and here is the words from the owner, we have blankets but it’s not included in the package so we won’t offer it. On the day when I checked out, there was a logistics truck blocking the narrow driveway. I waited for 20 minutes and asked the driver to move. He refused. Then I ask help from the owner. He let the driver complete what he was doing and told me, the driver will move, if you are not okay with it, go call police. Yes I can’t do anything because police don’t have resources to handle this. And because of this I was late for my next appointment.

I showed up to check in at 1230am and no one was there. I called the hotel to try and check in and no one responded. The service was horrible. I requested a refund after not being able to check in and they declined my refund, what a scam! It’s widely known as the cheapest hotel around so I wasn’t expecting anything special but to not even acknowledge my request for a refund is seriously disappointing. I’m local here and highly suggest staying anywhere else if you can!

Very run down on very busy road which is almost impossible to cross without walking way out of the way to a stoplight. Long walk to restaurants. Congested and poorly planned area. Only one desk chair in room, so no where to lounge in room. Bed was clean and comfortable

When we booked, website said breakfast is provided. There was no breakfast on site. When asked, desk staff said that breakfast is not provided. Misleading advertising! Coffee station in room is not maintained and we have to keep on requesting desk staff for coffee and cream etc.

No breakfast available at facility. Management said haven't had for 3 years, but web site still advertises a selection of breads, pastries, cereal etc. Management then claimed they know nothing about a website. Had been depending on it for our early AM hike. Outside trash cans overflowing.

We spent one night at Muir Woods Lodge. Our room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and we were able to park close to our room. One thing I noticed after a day of strenuous hiking was that the room floors are laminate faux wood instead of carpeting. There is also no breakfast included. But it was a convenient location for hiking Muir Woods early in the morning. I would recommend this hotel, but wish that, for the price, some kind of breakfast was included.

Didn’t need parking or laundry. Staff was perfunctory; no lights on in the office at 5:30 PM. Walkways were dark, making it hard to see room numbers. Website says breakfast included, but there was only coffee and a dark room.

I stayed in their larger suite, Room 205. This room is a bit larger and more spacious. It has an adjoining kitchen area. The only concern I might have is that the kitchen area is not as well maintained as the rest of the room. As I had no need to use the kitchen, this was not a concern, but is worth noting if you do plan to use the kitchen--in which case I would recommend verifying with the staff that the kitchen is fully functional.

There is no breakfast onsite, just a small coffee machine. However, there is a cute cafe nearby. It is hard turning left out of the parking lot, as the entrance is on a curve. Hotel was clean, bed was comfortable, restroom a bit small but nice. Overall, this is a nice hotel with lots of tourist things nearby. Just be careful getting on the freeway, as the bay may flood the streets.
