Really well located if you need to go to San Rafael. I was afraid of the noise (the 580 and the 101 are nearby), but turns out the sound proofing was good. To the best of my knowledge, there was no breakfast, but you can easily get something from Burger King or any of the gas stations within a 5 minute walk. Very good amenities (fridge, microwave, coffeee machine), staff very friendly. There were some food trucks a couple of minutes walk on the evening I arrived, excellent tacos and burritos. This ain't the Grand Hyatt, but I would definitely stay here again.
Great stay! The hotel was super clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely kind and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again. Affordable too!!
This is a perfectly adequate low cost location. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly & helpful. The general location could be off-putting to some people.
It’s a great place to stay! Nice big bed, it’s got a table, tv, mini fridge with a microwave and a nice shower, front desk lady is really nice. Oh and there’s free parking.
Nice throw-back motel; certainly not an Inn. But fine for us. Surprised at how quiet it was, considering its proximity to the freeways. Comfortable beds, too. Safe parking in front of the room. Very helpful staff.
The room was clean and spacious, with ample storage for two people. The motel is conveniently located near the I580-101 freeway junction, which is an added bonus.
