Stayed there for a couple nights. Lots of insects and flies in the room, bed and sheets seemed like they were damp after laying on it for a little while. There was no warm water for a couple hours in the morning. Not the cleanest in general, and rooms are pretty old. It’s meh basically, if you want cleanliness and comfort then this isn’t it. Stay safe everyone.

Inn Marin is currently upgrading their facilities. The property is lovely although it needs some TLC. Some of the units are upgraded, some are not. That being said, I found some of the improvements odd. For instance, there was only 1 towel hook in the bathroom (the 1st room* we were in had Zero- 0!) *(We moved bc we wanted a garden room). The new room had not been upgraded, but everything looked ok. Unfortunately, we found out the next day there was a plumbing problem- no hot water & low pressure. They should have known this. We moved. This room had white blinds that did not block out the light....it DID NOT have any curtains, blackout or otherwise. The shower enclosure was a 3/4 swinging door that let water spray everywhere! It also seemed like the shower pan was leaking. Also, they have a pool & jacuzzi/hot tub- pool was dirty first day & a half. Jacuzzi not filled & dirty. So to sum up: Pretty property with potential... Fairly comfy beds Decent customer service NEEDS: Blackout blinds/curtains More towel bars/hooks* More transparency on quality of rooms

Always call first...

We chose this location because of the pool, hot tub and on site restaurant. It was 90 degrees and a staycation was the call. When we arrived the staff ignored us and weren t greeted . Went through the quiet, unexplained process. A robot would have been more personal... room was as expected but the hot tub was inoperable and the restaurant had closed 3 months ago. Some notice on website would have helped and we would have stayed elsewhere. The stay was okay and we delt with it... jus dissapointed.

Very nice older motel

Let me preface by saying if you are looking for a shiny modern hotel, this is not the place for you. What it is, is a charming old school motor hotel where you can park right at your room. Employees were very frienfly, the check in area was nice, easy access from the freeway, comfortable beds, and the highlight for me was the massive park-like tropical grounds with massive old growth trees, adirondack chairs, hammocks, and a good size pool and hot tub. All rooms are ground floor, and the setting was quite peaceful despite being next to the highway. A complimentary continental breakfast is included. I would definitely stay there again. Unfortunately, the adjacent restaurant/bar had closed down, but is undergoing refurbishment.
