The room was relatively clean and the staff was accommodating when we reported the the sink in our room was leaking, they offered to put us up in a similar room on the same floor which was really nice. Also moved us to the second floor when we requested. Unfortunately the second room's TV didn't function which was a bit disappointing but better than a leaky sink lol. The breakfast was nice and filling. The location is difficult to get out of at rush hour. The staff wasn't really available most of the time, the phone that rung the desk wasn't picked up. It's a very average stay, perhaps just barely not worth the price? But if you just need a clean place to sleep and a filling breakfast I'd say it's good. I ended up staying at the Best Western down the road the following time and it was much more worth the price imo. So take what you will from that.

High price for value

We just needed to sleep - in late, out early. The bed was okay. The upstairs neighbors apparently did not need sleep and were practicing for a marathon ALL NIGHT LONG. Obviously not the establishments fault, but sound proofing is …

Dated and showing its age

Overall, this hotel is in a great location if you are visiting family in the Marin area, or if you are exploring San Francisco but want to stay out of the city to keep a mindful budget. However, the building is an older construction, and it I was built on a marsh. It has been updated over time, and it’s definitely showing its age. The staff are all very kind and hardworking – they have good communication, and they keep the hotel neat and tidy on a daily basis. Breakfast was consistently good quality as well, with something for everyone. Unfortunately, on the second night of our stay, the bathroom faucet sprung a leak and water drained all over the sink and down onto the floor, so we had to change rooms very late at night. The next room we moved to had many other problems – broken refrigerator, and the room itself was not square, so neither the doorwall nor the entry door fit squarely into their frames, leaving an inch gap at the top of both doors where air came in. The heating/AC units in both rooms also didn’t work consistently, so the room felt either too warm or too cold most of the time. Because the room was not square, it’s sort of felt like you were walking and sleeping on a slight slant when you were in the room. When we complained the following morning, the staff immediately accommodated us by moving us to yet a third room for the rest of our visit. The receptionist also said that they shouldn’t have moved us into that room the night before! (Room 230). Not great.
