No thanks

This used to be the Alvarado Inn when I was a kid. Place hasn’t been updated in years. It’s weird funky and odd. The room was kind of big, but we were in the back in this weird dark area. There was a Grateful Dead hand painted hippievan that was parked in the far back. It was kind of fun staying there for nostalgic reasons, but really it’s a dump.

Dysfunctional Amenities

I booked this hotel to enjoy the hot tub and fire pits with my girlfriend. Unfortunately, both the hot tub and fire pits were not functional. The grounds were beautiful, which didn't make the hotel a total loss, but it was a complete disappointment since those amenities are why I booked this hotel. The room was nice with comfortable beds. If those two things worked, I would give this hotel a much higher mark for sure.

Great value

Beautiful grounds, great value for the money. Very comfortable mattress. Garden facing rooms have 2 entrances, one going towards the pool and facing the huge lawn, the other facing your personal parking. Service dogs welcome at no charge. Nice area to hang out, walk your dog and enjoy the weather.

It was ok. Our room had a stained chair and the mattress and flooring were not in great shape. Breakfast was below standard with very limited options even for a continental breakfast. Fire pits did not have propane. Staff was ok. High price for not great value.

The location is great and I love the architecture of the place. However the rooms need an upgrade. And ensuring that at least each room has an ironing board and iron. And the bathroom towels upgraded. You can increase to the cost of stay with overall complex upgrade to reflect 2025.

This was my 3rd stay (every year in July just to sleep while busy all day at sporting event). First year (2023) was about a 3.5 to 4.0 (out of 5) since I received a “garden” room in the 101-121 block. It was a pretty good stay in an old & aging motel, so I came back. 2nd year was Room 165 on the backside (noisy apartment party next door over back fence), so it was a sub-par stay. I thought I’d give the motel another chance this year and requested a “garden” room and got Room 140 (check-in clerk said it was a garden room). This room faced the 101 Fwy and was only 50-100m from the freeway. There was road noise all night and I had to leave the AC/fan and TV on all night to drown out the noise. I think this was my last stay. I didn’t see any investment/improvements over the 3 years, just more aging. Unless you get a room between 101-131, you will probably be disappointed even though you may save a few $’s over the other local hotel/motels.

The Inn Marin and Suites is in a very convenient location. I stayed here for four weeks, not including weekends. Unfortunately the rooms need a lot of upkeep—-lots of mold in bathrooms, overhead lights don’t work, refrigerators not working or freezing all food, tv didn’t work…..the frosted glass in the bathroom made changing uncomfortable. The roads around the property had huge potholes that were hard on my car. I am disappointed because it is pretty convenient and inexpensive…. But too many simple things didn’t work. The lights were fixed for one day and stopped working again. I was told to try unplugging and plugging in the tv (didn’t work) and I just fixed the toilet on my own each time. I requested room service but didn’t get any. I won’t be staying her again. Oh well.
