I stayed for five nights during the Bioneers Conference in mid-October. The staff was very friendly and even offered to drive me to restaurants around the area when requested. The place is very clean and I experienced no big hassle. More

Rooms in a row, with cars parked in front. An old fashioned roadside motel with rooms in an asphalt lake. Really can't open your shades or windows as people are walking to their rooms, or parking their cars, right in front of your room. Inadequate lighting in the rooms, very low voltage bulbs, and our ceiling light did not work.... More

While we always strive to exceed client expectations, it is unfortunate that this occasion of misunderstanding did not allow us to respond to a guest directly. There are many points in this guest’s review that are inaccurate and do not give a completely true picture of the Inn Marin. Our guest rooms do not have ceiling lights and we can... More

My wife and I were traveling from Marin to Lake Tahoe and needed a place to stop over for the night after a long day of mountain biking near Fairfax. We found Inn Marine online and it looked great from the photos. When we called, they had two rooms available. Great! We said we'd take one. What they failed to... More

We stayed two nights for a a wedding, overall experience was pretty good, clean rooms, with all the perks, friendly staff and very handy as you park your car in front of the room for free, I liked that ! The breakfast was OK, nothing spectacular, toast bagels, muffins, coffee juice, frijoles (beans) and waffles. I would definitely go back... More

We wanted to stay outside of San Francisco, but the first few places were solidly booked. We were referred here by one of the hotels. Avery was the front desk receptionist to whom we spoke prior to arriving. She was WONDERFUL! She helped us get the best rate (AAA) and told us about restaurants in the area, wineries in Sonoma/Napa,... More

We stayed at the Inn Marin for the first time in early August, 2011 while traveling about in the Bay area looking at colleges. I found the Inn Marin online and based on a lot of positive reviews we stayed there. I want to confirm those great reviews by writing one myself. The Inn Marin is a true GEM of... More

My partner has a dog, and even though it is a service animal, we like to be considerate and stay where dogs or pets are welcome. Inn Marin bills itself as that, and insofar as that went, it was satisfactory, almost. We asked for a room with grass right outside, and that is what we got. We were staying for... More

When we arrived at the Inn to celebrate our anniversary, the first thing you notice is,although you are near the highway, there is a feeling that the property is in a small pocket of peace.From the initial friendly greeting of the reception staff to the beautifully designed rooms, everything was absolutely wonderful!They had left champagne in the room to further...

I loved spending Memorial Day weekend at the Inn Marin! This was our first vacation being able to take our Boston Terrier along, and they were totally dog friendly!! The property is very laid back with a beautiful garden, huge Magnolia tree with Sky Chairs dangling from it...I wanted to just sit there all day. The rooms are nice and... More

If this hotel/motel were not in the middle of Highway 101 or they had replaced the old windows with double pane windows, I would rank them higher. While we had what was considered a "garden room" (room 127), it certainly was not quiet, as some have indicated with their garden rooms. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The beds... More
