The front buildings of this motel are being refinished. We were skeptical at first. We were given an oversized King Suite with full kitchenette and LARGE bathroom. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Very brass tacks straight forward continental breakfast. I would have no reservations about staying there again. More

We arrived around 9:30 PM on a Saturday evening. Reserved a week ahead -- one of the better deals available for visiting SF (half hour away). Had to wait a bit after ringing the Night Bell. Got a king-size bed in the rear of the property. As others have noted, this place is undergoing construction -- the front section nearest... More

Avoid at all costs. There are not many hotels in this town which is the only reason I can account for this still being opened. From the moment we got there the front desk person had a bad attitude; complaining about everything under the sun and it definitely seemed like an inconvenience to him that we were there at all....

I was afraid to sleep at night. The room was filthy and looks like it hadn't been updated since the 50's. OK, I didn't pay top dollar - we definitely got what we paid for. It looked as thought there was some renovation going on so hopefully in 6 months all rooms would be remodeled?! More

I live near a Econo Lodge in Arizona. I selected this since it was inexpensive. I was expecting a bottom of the line hotel. This place in nice. Lots of new paint and plants. I would recommend it to everyone. More

The check-in was very friendly and I was offered a first floor suite with views to the mountains but with the laundry room and ice maker right under it so I asked if there was any... More

We stayed here on a trip to San Francisco- we had a late appointment in Novato and were going to spend the rest of the weekend in SF. We got in late, but the service was very friendly and helpful, and we got a free upgrade to a much nicer room! When you drive up, it looks a little sketchy,... More

We were booked at the Skylark for a few days while doing business in Marin County. It appears to be a no-frills motel court, but our 'executive' room was extremely comfortable with a full kitchen and a small balcony that overlooked both the hills (watched a family of deer one morning) and the water. We experienced a minor electrical problem... More
