    My husband and I were very happy with our room at The Marin Lodge. It is in a quiet neighborhood. It is located near very easy access to the 101 north and south (to San Francisco). The check in went smoothly and we received good information both at the time of check-in and in the in-room book. The book gave all kinds of information for emergency services, restaurants, area attractions, etc. Norma and Beethoven, are the very nice and hospitable owners of the property. It is well taken care of and lovely, Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The beds are comfortable. The shower is fabulous. It not only had wonderful water pressure, but the base of the walk in shower textured so it is not at slippery at all! We have no hesitation to recommend it to you! The price was very reasonable for such a nice property so well located. We will return when we are in the area, that's for sure!

    Clean well thought out rooms with desk, refrigerator, tv, chair. Basic continental breakfast with fruit, pastries, and granola bars. I’d come again. Not a lot to walk to, but short 5-10 drive for restaurants and stores.

    We loved our room!!! It was clean, well maintained and lovely

    This as a fabulous little hidden gem just 20 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge. Super comfortable, not fancy, but nestled in a residential area that was quite lovely. There are quaint shops and several restaurants just blocks away. I would stay again. A great memory -- We moved our son into Stanford the following morning and this was convenient without the hefty Palo Alto pricing. Highly recommend!

    The hotel is not fancy, but I had an amazing stay. The owners are very accommodating. There's nothing I can say during my stay was bad. If I had to nit pick anything, has nothing to do with the hotel. But the nearest restaurants are about a 30 minute walk which was fine. I didn't have a car, a Lyft wasn't worth it. Other than that I would stay there again in a second.

    My room was clean, spacious and comfortable and overall I had a great stay. My only suggestion would be to have an iron available in the room which is important for guests who are traveling on business. I would definitely stay at the Marin Lodge again.

    Best motel ever! The location is super convenient to the highway, the room is beautifully designed, the bed is comfortable and the bedding feels great, the outdoor spaces are green and feel like a lodge in the woods. Staff is friendly and welcoming.

    Simple clean room, comfortable bed, TV works well, AC and heat works well, and quiet enough to sleep well.
