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.

I wish that there were bedside lamps. No A/C, but the weather at night was not too hot, so we were comfortable. Reasonable price, so nice and convenient stay.

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.

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.

It’s clean and centrally located. Less than half the price of local hotels. Located just 100 feet from the 101 freeway, it’s slightly noisy. I would stay again.
