This place is a hidden gem. The family that runs are very nice people. It is a real bargain. It is on a busy street and close to the freeway, but not noisy at all.

Although the room decor could use an update, it was equipped with a small mini fridge and microwave which was a plus. Very quiet and located in a convenient area. The owner was so friendly and accommodating!

Best and friendliest service!
It was wonderful to stay at such a welcoming place. I was traveling with my elderly father who can be quite grumpy and demanding but the staff was consistently patient and helpful. I also appreciated all the little extras like free water and other goodies in the office. Next time I need a hotel in Marin, I will be staying here!
