What guests think

At Inn Marin and Suites, an Ascend Collection Hotel, travellers praise the leafy courtyard setting and convenient location, but report many trade-offs, including dated rooms, inconsistent upkeep, and amenities like the pool, hot tub, and restaurant often unavailable.

Breakfast is very basic, and several reviews note unreliable Wi-Fi or room maintenance issues such as low water pressure, broken fixtures, or poor lighting. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from tidy rooms to reports of mold, insects, or lingering odors. The freeway-side setting is handy for Bay Area travel but brings noticeable traffic noise in some rooms. Expect simple lodgings with pleasant outdoor space but limited, inconsistent amenities.

Is it clean and relaxing option close to freeway to get to other locations. Staff was friendly, but property is better online than in person. Fire pits did not have working propane. Front (exterior) of room units was not clean. Dog friendly property, but all the doggie bag dispensers are empty!? Continental breakfast was very basic.

The center area of the property is lovely. The pool was closed (in early August). The continental breakfast is really minimal, and on our first morning was not available at the time mentioned on the web, and that was an important consideration for us.

I booked this hotel to enjoy the hot tub and fire pits with my girlfriend. Unfortunately, both the hot tub and fire pits were not functional. The grounds were beautiful, which didn't make the hotel a total loss, but it was a complete disappointment since those amenities are why I booked this hotel. The room was nice with comfortable beds. If those two things worked, I would give this hotel a much higher mark for sure.

We chose this location because of the pool, hot tub and on site restaurant. It was 90 degrees and a staycation was the call. When we arrived the staff ignored us and weren t greeted . Went through the quiet, unexplained process. A robot would have been more personal... room was as expected but the hot tub was inoperable and the restaurant had closed 3 months ago. Some notice on website would have helped and we would have stayed elsewhere. The stay was okay and we delt with it... jus dissapointed.

Although we had a "garden view" room (and a very nice garden it was) the road noise from Hwy 101 was not blocked by the reception and restaurant in front. The noise kept me awake that night. The room was clean but clearly very old. The pool and jacuzzi looked very nice with the garden but were not open.

Overall the property seems aged, however it is kept up very well, the room was nice and clean, a huge flat screen TV was nice! Only 2 negative things, 1 was the mini fridge was not cold at all, cool at best, had to keep drinks in an ice chest, 2nd the last night there the hot tub went down, they wete unable to fix it. Other than that I would recommend it for sure.

Worst experience staying at a hotel- half the amenities were non functioning (no hot tub, fire pits were broken). Small rooms, shower had no hot water, shady looking people staying in the room next door. If you’re coming with kids, do not recommend! Spend a little more and stay in a safe place that has warm water and has working amenities. I’ll be contacting management!

The photos on Google looked beautiful, but when we actually got there, it was disappointing from the moment we tried to enter the parking lot. The road to the check-in area was so narrow it only fit one car, so we had to park in the back lot and walk all the way around the building. Our first impression of the inn from the back was... "Oh no, this looks so crappy—we’ve been tricked." All the photos on Google only showed the inside, but the outside, especially around the parking lot, looked like an old, run-down motel. To make things worse, I nearly passed out when I saw cockroaches crawling on the bathroom walls in the middle of the night.

There was no warm water for a couple hours in the morning. Not the cleanest in general, and rooms are pretty old. It’s meh basically, if you want cleanliness and comfort then this isn’t it.

The Inn Marin and Suites is in a very convenient location. I stayed here for four weeks, not including weekends. Unfortunately the rooms need a lot of upkeep—-lots of mold in bathrooms, overhead lights don’t work, refrigerators not working or freezing all food, tv didn’t work…..the frosted glass in the bathroom made changing uncomfortable. The roads around the property had huge potholes that were hard on my car. I am disappointed because it is pretty convenient and inexpensive…. But too many simple things didn’t work. The lights were fixed for one day and stopped working again. I was told to try unplugging and plugging in the tv (didn’t work) and I just fixed the toilet on my own each time. I requested room service but didn’t get any. I won’t be staying her again. Oh well.

Rooms

Rooms are mostly older or partially updated, with small bathrooms, limited lighting, and a two-door layout; freeway-facing units and thin walls lead to noise for some. Wi-Fi can be unreliable, and some in-room fixtures or amenities (showers, toilets, fridges, phones) do not always work.

This was my 3rd stay (every year in July just to sleep while busy all day at sporting event). First year (2023) was about a 3.5 to 4.0 (out of 5) since I received a “garden” room in the 101-121 block. It was a pretty good stay in an old & aging motel, so I came back. 2nd year was Room 165 on the backside (noisy apartment party next door over back fence), so it was a sub-par stay. I thought I’d give the motel another chance this year and requested a “garden” room and got Room 140 (check-in clerk said it was a garden room). This room faced the 101 Fwy and was only 50-100m from the freeway. There was road noise all night and I had to leave the AC/fan and TV on all night to drown out the noise. I think this was my last stay. I didn’t see any investment/improvements over the 3 years, just more aging. Unless you get a room between 101-131, you will probably be disappointed even though you may save a few $’s over the other local hotel/motels.

The hotel is an old Motel style with most rooms with a front and back door. The back doors are where you park your car in front of, in a dark, kind of creepy parking lot. The shower door in my room opened a strange way, and there’s no way a big man who wears a XXL size shirt can squeeze around the shower door. The WiFi was out the whole weekend I was there. The phone didn’t work, so I couldn’t call the front desk. I don’t recommend this place

Approaching our room I thought we made a huge error because it was dirty garbage around our door and just looked horrible. Once we opened the door we were pleasantly surprised about how lovely our room was and the door on the other side went to a beautiful lawn/garden area. They need to clean up the entrance to the rooms. Our bed was great.

The bed was very comfortable and it has easy access to the freeway. The restaurant Maya Plantque was with in walking distance and is a very good mexican restaurant. It was a little noisy at times with quests coming in late and letting doors slam. Also, the wifi quit working just after I started watching a movie. The desk staff walked me through re-setting it and it worked for a few minutes and went down again.

This hotel is decent overall. Parking is plentiful, there is a beautiful garden area to lounge in hammocks and swinging egg chairs, there is a pool and hot tub, they do serve breakfast, and your room does have 2 doors: 1 opening up to the parking lot side and 1 opening up the central garden area. What I was not so fond of was arriving back to the hotel and being locked out of my room. This was due to having to renew your room keys each day. Small inconvenience but still odd and not advertised. I also did not feel the safest as a solo traveler due to the amount of damage around my room's door. There are also chain, bolt locks inside each door that must be latched to lock the door completely. I also was hearing a few weird noises in the evenings, but that could be wind or something else. Staff was friendly overall and I did not try the breakfast. Overall it was fine, but I will not be returning.

The room given to us was wrongfully assigned to and used by different guests prior to our arrival time. It was used and not in order and the hotel manager told us they couldn’t do anything as the housekeepers were already gone for the day (whom we later saw on the hallway) and their rooms were fully booked for the day. We were even told that we could look for a different hotel to stay and they could give us a refund. Clearly, the manager didn’t care! [stayed on May 24]

Felt clean, but strong chlorine smell at first (we had room spray so that helped). Room was neat if a little dated, though there were a few modern feeling touches. Plenty of outlets available for devices. Light on the blankets (august visit to be fair) but generous on pillows. Large flatscreen with some sort of cable/satellite was nice. Vanity Lights in large bathroom window was also a plus. Our limited interaction (as we prefer it) with hotel staff was friendly, proffessional and helpful. Our toilet paper roll fell off the first 10 minutes in the room and there could be better towel hanging options. unfortunate location of public trail nearby had 'interesting' people passing through the property, but seemed to be just near the main entrance. Ultimately we were near the rear of the complex, the driveway access was tight for my ½ ton pickup, but it was quiet and comfortable. Ac ran nicely and shawer is large with plenty of space for taller guests (im 6', likely suitable up to 6'2" or 4). I felt safe and the nearby areas seemed nice. Many food options within a couple miles, walkable or drivable without too much hassle. Centered very nicely between san Francisco and Napa, our 2 intended locations for day trips. At the end of the day it was a great place to stay, especially at the price point for the area. Will highly consider the location for possible future visits to the region.

The restaurant is closed down, so there was no continental breakfast like advertised, and the hot tub was not hot. When we asked if they could raise the temperature, the front desk staff called the maintenance person for us but they weren’t able to fix the issue. Since we came pretty much for those reasons, we decided to just leave. The front desk staff did give us a full refund.

Check in was pretty seamless. Our only issue was one of the rooms, room 123, the toilet did not work. I had a colleague in that room as I had booked the hotel for everyone and she did not let me know until the next morning that the toilet wasn't working so I'm not sure how long they went without a working toilet. My few suggestions is to maintain the rooms and improve your continental breakfast. There was very little offered for the breakfast and for a long day of attending conferences, it's important to start with a good breakfast. Maybe some more proteins such as yogurt, cheese something along those lines a little more variety and better options for coffee. I would love to stay here throughout the year but I do you need a few more amenities to make that happen do need a few more amenities to make that happen
