“Friendly Staff, convenient location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

My friend and I stayed here before a day-long retreat at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. The staff was very friendly. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. We walked to Max's Restaurant next door for dinner and that was easy (and good). The hotel had a lovely outdoor fireplace area, but it was too cold that night for us to sit. It looks like the fireplace and the pool would be wonderful in the warmer months. A light breakfast is delivered to your room (when you specify) in the morning. It was plenty for us (yogurt, muffin, granola, orange juice).

“Just fine”

Stayed here one night, and was immediately impressed with the front desk staff. Very friendly and professional. There is an absolutely HUGE pool, perfect if you like to swim laps. The rooms are modest, nothing exceptional, but very clean and a very comfortable bed. Very small bathroom, but an extra sink and mirror outside helped. The grounds are nice, we enjoyed sitting by the fire pit even though it was a chilly evening. Back to the beds, I want to commend their customer service. I absolutely found their pillows to be the most comfortable i have ever slept on, so I asked if I could buy the pillow from our room. They checked with management and within minutes came back with an extremely reasonable price. Now that's service! Finally, they delivery a nice continental breakfast right to your room. If you want a drink or a meal, Max's next store is decent, though a bit on the heavy food side. Luckily there are many restaurants in the area.

“Great service! Would go back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

We wish to let all know who are travelling near San Francisco to give this Best Western," Corte Medera Inn" a reservation. Frank at the front desk was extremely helpful and accomodating. The shuttle to the ferry to take us in to San Francisco and picked us up later was very convenient and we therefore didin't need to worry about finding our way in the city.

Again we want to thank Frank for his kindness, a real "people person", excellent in his job.

We will have fond memories of our trip to California forever.

Canadian friends, Ruth and Gord

“Great Experience!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

I am not sure what my room was considered. I think a garden room? I was on the 2nd floor facing the pool & garden area. Part of my room that faced the pool was a sort of greenhouse/garden room (all glass including the roof!). Shades were hung from the glass ceiling allowing for shade during the all important early sleeping hours!

Room was pretty spacious, nice comfy king bed, good size fridge, a sort of wet bar, and the bathroom behind the wall away from the bedroom area.

I was there for 5 days for a workshop/conference that was being held at the hotel. Huge mall across the fwy that I didn't go to, but another shopping complex directly across the street that you could walk to with a Safeway (grocery store) and plenty of varied eating establishments.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again. If you are searching for 5 star accomodations, go elsewhere! If you want a dependable, clean enviornment, a Best Western is generally a great deal.

Free parking and free wireless. I was very comfortable. About 15 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge.

Room Tip: If you get a room with patio or balcony, it cuts into your room space. If you want a larger room, d...

“Comfortable, Convenient, Classic Motor Lodge”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011

Spent 3-day Veterans holiday weekend in superior king class accommodation. If you're looking for a hotel feel, or even a boutique inn experience with some cache, this is probably not going to do it for you. But if you have a car and want free parking, the convenience of nearby shopping and dining, and direct freeway access, this is worth a play at a reasonable price point.

Room size was decent, but seemed even larger as our second floor location afforded a cathedral ceiling, vertically striped wall coverings, and a triple window bank. Duradek balcony was nice bonus and good size with two chairs at a table, looking out over a small pond. There was some highway noise but it was unobtrusive as we noshed and had cocktails there at sunset. There is also a coffee maker and small refrigerator in the room.

My overall rating would have been slightly higher but each notable attribute had a noticeable negative tradeoff.....for example:
The bedding was pretty comfortable, but the pillows were awful.....and there were only two.
The fan coil unit was quieter than most, but the wall thermostat had no correlation to setting the unit.....at least I couldn't figure it out and I am a mechanical engineer.
The 32" TV was a flat screen, but at least half the channels had horrendous reception.
Self-Parking is available motor-lodge style right near your unit, but there is no elevator so you have to shlep luggage up two flights of steps....and the wooden catwalks are creaky.
Bathroom has been updated, but very cramped with little surface area for toiletries.
Staff is pleasant, but housekeeping runs very late.....we had our room serviced after 4PM one day and if we didn't call the desk, I'm sure it would have been missed. Also we watched as the room attendants threw the bedspread on the not-so-clean rug, then put it back after making the bed. Moreover, I always tip well every day of the stay so I was extremely disappointed to see this. I realize many hotel room attendants likely do the same, but knowing I could see them from the balcony, one would think they would have used the chair or table.

Bottom-line.....we got a nitely tarriff that worked out to less than $150, which is a reasonable price point for Marin County. But the demerits listed above would likely make me choose another hotel option even at a cost premium.

TIP: there is a restaurant on-site but it has goofy breakfast hours....try the Cafe Corte Madera instead about 2 miles away up the hill.
