This was a great spot for our family of four for the last two nights of our time in the Bay Area. It was excellent for the price. The location is very convenient for exploring Marin County and was only 30 min to the Oakland airport. It is in town, but the trees on the property make it feel somewhat secluded- in a good way. The front desk staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast wasn't advertised, but the coffee, pastries, and fruit that they had out in the morning was very much appreciated.
