There aren't a lot of choices of hotels if you want to visit Point Reyes National Seashore. Weekends are hard to get a nearby room unless you book well in advance. We moved our trip around to arrive on a Sunday night instead of a Saturday night. SMART MOVE. The hotel had lots of rooms at a lower rate and... More

We stayed here for 2 nights over the Thanksgiving weekend (Nov 2011). This is a cozy little inn off the beaten track about 15 min drive from the small town of Point Reyes Station.

We have been visiting the Point Reyes area for over 40 years. This time, we were looking for a little place to splurge on--to celebrate our anniversary. We found what we were looking for at the Motel Inverness. As soon as you walk into the lobby, you know you've arrived someplace special. Best of all, you can use your room... More
