It was fine for the price. Nothing special but clean, did not smell bad and the bed was fine. Ok if you are just looking for a inexpensive place to stay for the night. Restaurants about 1/2 mile down the road.

I’ve stayed twice at this motel. The staff is very nice. The first time I stayed was better than the second. It’s a fine motel if you’re of the mindset you get what you pay for.

From the outside you can tell the hotel had not been updated. The place just looked old and could have used a coat of paint. The interior was very modest and also needed some TLC. I spotted insects multiple times during my two night stay and one cockroach on my last day. Yuck! A lamp on the dresser near the bed would have been nice. The staff was nice enough to provide me extra towels. Good enough for me, but would have been embarrassed had I brought my wife here. Conveniently located to gas stations.

Great price and near Mill Valley and Sausalito and the freeway. Staff were super helpful. When I left my laptop charging in the room after checking out, they called me right away and held it until I could get back that evening to pick it up.

Clean!

Luxury towels, crispy sheets. Motel is dated and furniture definitely could use some TLC but the room functional, two beds and super clean and affordable.
