Inn Marin is a well maintained old hotel with beautifully landscaped grounds, charming rooms that are the most eco-friendly I've ever seen. We ate at their restaurant, Ricky's. Loved the "small portions" on the menu. I had the filet minion that was cooked to perfection, enjoyed yummy cocktails, and live music as well. Topped off with a dessert sampler... OMG!... More

Wow, I can't say enough. When my husband first brought me here, I will admit, I was a little nervous from the looks on the outside. Wow, I couldn't have been more wrong. They have renovated these rooms and they are so adorable. You truly get that old roadside motel experience, but with all the cleanliness and quaintness you desire.... More

Inn Marin is a hidden jewel! Situated off the freeway this 'special place' is convenient for me since it is close to my family, friends, and shopping. I lived in Marin many years and I now stay at this Inn when visiting family and friends. It is also a nice place to invite my friends to come over and enjoy... More

I booked this hotel due to its proximity to business. I wasn't expecting much. When I drove up at night, in the dark, I thought I had booked the Bates Hotel. It is really tucked back in there. It is a motel, with all external access. However, the rooms are beautiful: real hardwood floors, skylight in the bathrooms, beautiful wood... More

My daughter and son-in-law recently held their wedding reception at Inn Marin. The facility was super! The rooms are attractive and very comfortable. Meals were delicious. The staff, especially Lora Salfi, were attentive and very professional. I would definitely recommend Inn Marin for any parties, receptions, or just time away. We, and all of the wedding guests, were very impressed... More

Our room had laminate wood floors with no carpeting so it was very cold and the room hadn't been heated prior to our arrival so it was generally quite cold. On our arrival there was also a dirty washcloth in the bathroom. The bathroom windows had such a strong draft that taking a hot morning shower only meant getting out... More

I was there for a wedding on New Year's Eve. The hotel was amazing, the staff couldn't of been friendly and the wedding was just amazing. It was an evening wedding with a tent and wow it was so romantic and beautiful. The grounds, fountains and lights only added to the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this motel.

An older motel-style property that has been tastefully, if not extravagantly updated. Rates are very good for the region, and service is very good. Convenient location for Sonoma Raceway and wine country.

Our family (two adults, two kids) was in Sonoma for the weekend to participate in a racing event at Infineon. This is obviously an older property that has a lot of original character, but has been updated recently by professional interior designers, and the Inn was absolutely charming, the room very well designed. There were many designer touches like the... More
