Parking is nice and quiet, Would i go back? No. I would look somewhere else next time

I booked Muir Woods Lodge. The key card said Muir Woods Lodge & Hotel. The sign out front said Muir Woods Motel - which was exactly right! It’s an old, smelly motel. The ice machines didn’t work nor did the coffee dispenser in the lobby.

Beautiful Lodge in Nature with Kind Lodge Hosts

Beautiful Lodge in Nature with kind lodge hosts. Rooms are clean and have the most comfortable beds on earth. I have never slept better. The management is so kind and professional. They go out oof their way to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I stay in this Lodge when I come to SF for business, to get away from the busy city and relax. I also stay here when I bring my family for vacation. Mill Valley, Marin and Sausalito are wonderful to shop and eat at. The best is the Muir Forest and Beaches near by. What a beautiful city and charming lodge to stay at. My favorite part is the other guests that stay here, they are so cool and good vibes, on vacation.

Great Price & comfortable bed!

This older Lodge building looks like it's recently been renovated. The room was lovely. The bed was awesome. The pillows were great. The microwave worked great. I didn't use the coffee machine. They have an ice bucket but they don't have an ice machine. So be sure to grab a bag of ice at the Smart& save if you need it.

I couldn't connect to the Internet, the room was dirty and the noise was not heated, so I moved the room 3 times. Also, it was very inconvenient because the TV didn't work.

Staff is friendly and hospitable and I slept very well. However, the room could use some improvements. For instance, there was no smoke alarm and wires were hanging from the ceiling. The faucet to the sink was very loose and the metal plate below the tub faucet wasn't secure. Oh and the refrigerator didn't seem to work either. As it is, the bed was comfy and this motel has an excellent location. Would consider staying here again.

When we booked, website said breakfast is provided. There was no breakfast on site. When asked, desk staff said that breakfast is not provided. Misleading advertising! Coffee station in room is not maintained and we have to keep on requesting desk staff for coffee and cream etc.

I wish I didn’t choose this lodge. We planned a family trip to Muir Woods and picked this lodge for my stay due to the good reviews. We need an extra bedding and my kids asked the office. They came back with nothing and here is the words from the owner, we have blankets but it’s not included in the package so we won’t offer it. On the day when I checked out, there was a logistics truck blocking the narrow driveway. I waited for 20 minutes and asked the driver to move. He refused. Then I ask help from the owner. He let the driver complete what he was doing and told me, the driver will move, if you are not okay with it, go call police. Yes I can’t do anything because police don’t have resources to handle this. And because of this I was late for my next appointment.
