Good Location, Family Friendly
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/4/11
We were looking for a hotel that was in the middle of the bay area, Muir Woods & wine country. This hotel was ideally situated for our vacation (10 minute drive to Sausalito, 25 minutes to Muir Woods, 30 or 40 to Sonoma). From the outside, the hotel is nothing special, but the interior grounds have a pool, playground, putting green, basketball court, hot tub, picnic tables, lots of shady, grassy areas, hammocks and adirondachs chairs for lounging. My only complaint (as a father of a 3 and 5 year old) is that the olympic-sized pool is not toddler and pre-schooler friendly. The shallow end is too deep for little ones to play by themselves, so we had to be in the lap pool with them at all times. The staff was extremely kind, professional, responsive, polite and helpful. Not a luxury hotel by any stretch - more like a nice motel with great amenities. Loved the Starbucks coffee in the lobby and the breakfast basket delivered to the door each day (coffee, muffins, yogurt, granola, fresh fruit and OJ). Our room was clean and well-maintained - not a lot of character, but not outdated or worn-out either. I'd stay there again. Mall is right across the street with grocery store, lots of restaurant options, general mall-shopping. Overall a good experience.
