Sure they have hourly and weekly rates, that kind of place. Staff was nice enough, and when I left at 5am believe I saw 24 hour security, which was reassuring, but next time I'll stay a bit further off the highway, probably in Mill Valley.

Stay in motel.

Well the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The room felt very second rate, I did not feel safe, there were a lot of hookers outside our door. It's not the Motel 6 we were expecting.

The motel is probably the cheapest place to stay in marin county besides the youth hostel on the headlands. It is clean with no coffee maker and no lobby coffee. There is a coffee place 2 blocks away that opens at 6am
