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.

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.

Clean!

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.

Hotel was ok nothing special great place to rest but the bathroom was small I was not able to move inside the shower without getting hit in that tight space also it’s next to the freeway so there is a lot of noise… The clerk was very nice and helpful with all our questions the only down fall was the noise and the bathroom but other then that the place was clean and very nice

It was a very nice stay. The beds and pillows were really nice and comfortable. It's older, but it has it's charm. It's right next to the freeway and you can hear the cars, but otherwise it was very quiet and peaceful. The only thing I wish it had was bedside lamps. Otherwise our room was had two rooms, one for each bed and I really liked that. The managers were very nice and helpful as well.

Easy, affordable comfort

It was clean, well kept. Definitely lacking air conditioning but offered fans in lieu of a/c. Friendly and helpful. Easy to access off the highway. Definitely good if all you need is a spot to lay your head and get ready.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Looked great in the Expedia pictures, but is very run down, dirty and unclean - this felt like a bait and switch. Traffic noise from 101 really loud; No AC so with windows closed no ventilation. Carpet is filthy and didn’t feel good walking barefoot. Cockroach in bathtub. When I went to get the towel off the rack, the entire rack popped off the supports on the wall. Didn’t plug anything into the outlets as was worried it was sketchy. All furniture is old, dingy and covered with scrapes and dings. This is not a cool old motel that’s been renovated and looks great - this is an old motel that hasn’t had anything except paint. Avoid.
Carpet is filthy
Missing neon letters indicative of how the room was.

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.

This is an older property and lacking in basic creature comforts such a bedside lamp. Nights stands old and scratched up. One of the queen side bend offering narrow path to the bathroon.
