The room descriptions involve some “poetic license”. The “fireplace” turns out to be a propane heater with exposed flame. The “beach view” turns out to be a window facing a 30 ft wide strip of man-made sand “beach”. The rooms are recently renovated, but the TV is ancient, as are many of the elements in the kitchen, etc. Rustic and,... More

Our room at Tomales Bay Resort was quaint, clean and comfortable. We were in room #3, and while it wasn't fancy, it was perfect for our stay. The bed was comfortable, and to be honest, the room was much nicer than I was expecting (after reading some reviews on tripadvisor.) Cassandra was very helpful and friendly. We came to Tomales...

Clean and remodeled like the site said, but the grounds were very misleading on their website. The "beach" was a 5 foot strip with A picnic table and 3 chairs and the rest of the grounds was pretty much just dead grass. They advertise this as a wedding destination... not a place where I would want a wedding. More

You are greeted with a survey piece that says "we have spent the last three years renovating the property and rooms..." We stayed in the Driftwood rooms - basically clean, but for the price, they really need help, and I don't think the renovations have quite made it to the Driftwood rooms. These rooms must be made of cardboard -... More

We arrived just after the season so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. On check in we were given a bag breakfast for the next morning - muffin, fruit, juice - nice touch. Room was clean and adequate - had view of the bay. Because it was off season dinner choices were limited so plan ahead More

Room for 2 adults had no fireplace, no bath tub, no couch or living room, no kitchen, and the facility provided no hot tub. Web site indicated a Thai restaurant and even offed a complimentary glass of wine at said restaurant, but upon... More

I had made a reservation based on where the staff member told me the location was. It was nowhere near what she had said! This place is in the BOONDOCKS. When I cancelled my reservation, they charged me, even though I did not stay there. They were rude, and the owner hung up on me when I told him I... More

this is an older property mostly renovated, clean, quiet and relaxing. Not upscale but a great value. $106.00 for a queen bed on a week night. Next trip[soon] will try room with kitchen and patio for a multi-nite stay. Thai restaurant on site, good food, good value! Oyster farms[some with barbeques], fresh seafood close by. Pt.
