This hotel is decent overall. Parking is plentiful, there is a beautiful garden area to lounge in hammocks and swinging egg chairs, there is a pool and hot tub, they do serve breakfast, and your room does have 2 doors: 1 opening up to the parking lot side and 1 opening up the central garden area. What I was not so fond of was arriving back to the hotel and being locked out of my room. This was due to having to renew your room keys each day. Small inconvenience but still odd and not advertised. I also did not feel the safest as a solo traveler due to the amount of damage around my room's door. There are also chain, bolt locks inside each door that must be latched to lock the door completely. I also was hearing a few weird noises in the evenings, but that could be wind or something else. Staff was friendly overall and I did not try the breakfast. Overall it was fine, but I will not be returning.

Really quiet peaceful place to stay and very friendly staff. You do need to call to get ahold of someone for check in as there isn’t really a front desk, but it’s a pretty easy process to get the keys to your room once someone helps. Breakfast was delicious!

My husband and I were staying here after a long hiking trip and were hoping to have some of the amenities like the hot tub and the restaurant. The restaurant is closed down, so there was no continental breakfast like advertised, and the hot tub was not hot. When we asked if they could raise the temperature, the front desk staff called the maintenance person for us but they weren’t able to fix the issue. Since we came pretty much for those reasons, we decided to just leave. The front desk staff did give us a full refund.

I would have given Marin Inn a four out of five rating if not for the water situation. During our four-day stay, we had to call every day because the water would stop running. This was particularly inconvenient on the day of a wedding when I needed to get ready. Despite this issue, the overall experience at Marin Inn was decent. The housekeeping employees were helpful and accommodating, and the property had a nice yard for our dog. The complimentary intercontinental breakfast was a nice touch, and the location near stores was convenient. However, due to the recurring water problem, I am hesitant to stay at Marin Inn again in the future. The manager was not very helpful.
