This hotel use to be a Holiday Inn Express and now you cant even tell! Just walking in you feel more class and comfort. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the staff is great. This hotel also has a pool, if it wasn't wintertime I would have totally used it. Wifi was great speed and the continental breakfast was... More

Thank you very much for the stellar review. We appreciate your input and recognizing the upgrades to our hotel. It is a lovely spot, ideally located in beautiful Marin County. It is base camp to so many of the area's natural amenties and attractions. Hope to see you again in the future should your plans bring you to the area... More

There are many things to recommend about this motel: the nice person at check-in, the patio fireplace, the continental breakfast that wasn't all carbs, the book and video library (which I didn't use but appreciate none the less), reliable wifi, the fabulous on-site restaurant. However, for me, it was way overpriced. Maybe not for the neighborhood and probably not for... More

Stayed here for 1 night on the way up to Stinson Beach and used a LivingSocial coupon. The hallways were very cold and showed their age, but our room was nicer. The bed was very comfortable and the room decently-sized, but the bathroom was not as updated as the bedroom and the tub had old scuff marks on it. I... More

We came here for R & R while I was 8 months pregnant. What a beautiful relaxing stay! The beds were so comfortable and the pillows! I wanted to take them home! Pet friendly was a bonus! They had free dvd rentals along with an outside fireplace for smores, which my daughter and I enjoyed very much. Good continental breakfast.... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a long weekend at the end of January. It is definitely a boutique type of hotel. The room was clean, updated and quiet. I found the bed comfortable but my husband thought it was a little soft. They had an array of pillows to choose from. The bathroom amenities were very... More

Back in the Bay area tonight. I definitely wasn't going to stay at the Embassy Suites in San Rafael - see my previous review. Instead, i rolled the dice and decided to stay at the Larkspur Hotel in Mill Valley. I was pleasently surprised. It is an obviously older motel/hotel but it has a "boutique" feel to it. The frost...

I stayed at the Larkspur again for 3 days this year. I can not tell you how accomodating the staff is. I had a room on the 1sr floor facing the estuary. It was beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Great restaurant next door. Easy access to Novato and Petaluma. More

Near Mill Valley but away from its hustle and bustle -- and the highway noise Larkspur is a comfortable place to stay, although rooms are a bit cramped. Swimming pool and hot tub is good and the night clerk, Julie, (Thursday) was very gracious and eager to help. Alas, the morning clerk was a young girl who didn't have much... More

This super-nice hotel is just accross the Golden Bridge, a few miles outside San Francisco and close to Muir Woods. We suggest to book on the hotel's website because rates are lower.
