Internet felt slow to me. Housekeeping, Breakfast and Parking are alright. The AC and Heater can be better. Can we also get plastic ice bucket instead of paper.
Stay here one night.
It’s Quiet. Friendly staff, Clean, good price and breakfast included.

This hotel was generally a good value for the cost. However, I am an elderly woman and was assigned a room on the second floor. The property has no elevator so I was obliged to lug my suitcase up a flight of stairs to get to my room.
Stayed here for a family wedding and found the restaurant on the facility to be one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever eaten at Marcello and his staff were friendly. The place is cute and quaint and well taken care.
Definitely the best value in the Bay Area and Marin County.
This establishment is a quaint motel, it has a restaurant (Italian) attached to the property. Check in was simple, room was small but had everything we needed for our 1 night stay, price was good too. The room was clean & comfortable. 10/10 from us.
