We traveled to visit Muir Wood and see San Francisco. This was the perfect location. Breakfast was good, the staff was absolutely amazing. We stayed a week and I wouldn’t change anything about our stay. The price, cleanliness, and friendliness of staff was amazing. I felt safe at this location and I was able to travel all over while using this location as home base. I highly recommend.
