Charming, convenient, well priced
This motel has been around a very long time. They've done a great job of upgrading it and yet keeping it super cute and Charming. It is very easy to get to. It is just right off the 101 if you are coming from the south. If you are coming from the north you kind of have to pass it, take the next exit loop around and get back on the southbound freeway to get off to get to this place. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable, clean and the bed was very comfortable. It is close to the freeway, but I had no trouble sleeping at all. When I am in the area, I will always stay here.

A Small Gem
This a convenient and comfortable hotel that we enjoy staying at when we visit family in Marin. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The rooms have all the basic amenities and are clean. Overall, a great value given their room rates.

Quieter option
This place was very nice. It is in a much quieter area than options closer or in San Francisco. Very nice staff. We liked it so much we stayed there again later on the same trip.
