The Aqua Hotel is always my hotel of choice when in Mill Valley, CA. From checkin, to room assignment, to quality of amenities, to breakfast, this hotel is truly outstanding in every way. This recommendation comes from a weekly business traveler. Stay at the Aqua Hotel! You'll be glad you did.

My husband and I were in Mill Valley for a family party. We chose this hotel because of a recommendation. It was a wonderful experience from checkin to departure two days later. We had a Jr. Suite with a balcony overlooking the water. At five o'clock at night, wine and cheese was offered in the lobby as well as a... More

Friendly, helpful staff. Terrific breakfast available from 6:30 to 10 each morning. Lydia and Isadore do an excellent job and their pride shows in the preparation and organization. Lovely freshly sliced melon and pineapple every day, too. Clean, well-designed modern rooms with orientation to Richardson Bay and the outdoors. Geese, ducks, gulls, herons are plentiful and you may see deer... More

I stayed at the Acqua during a particularly trying time: I'm from very near Boston, and had to do a business trip 2 days after the Marathon bombing in Mill Valley. My business associate booked me into the Acqua, and it was a true blessing to be in such a place during that very trying week. I had a fireplace... More

Lydia, the breakfast Queen, kept everything replenished and plated in an appetizing manner. Lydia was pleasant and accommodating; she even prepared a specialty coffee drink for some... More

I enjoyed my stay in delux king room on the second floor. There was, surprisingly, no noise from the nearby highway. We had a small sitting area and then a separate sleeping room with a bathroom. Comfortable bed, great views of the water and Mt. Tam. The hotel is right on the water with a little walking path to enjoy.... More

The setting is ideal, we love to step outside and be able to take a walk on the path that follows the bay. The view from the room of the bay, changing with... More

Gorgeous small hotel just off of the 101 and overlooking the estuary and onto the mountains. Absolutely lovely staff! The rooms are fresh and clean. Products in bath are EO - yummy. Went into Mill Valley and the shop and bought lots of products. Great breakfast, relaxed, quiet. Good Japanese restaurant across parking lot. Safe, friendly, clean property.

We stayed here one night April 1. We had been to Monterrey and were planning on doing Pt.Reyes, Muir Woods and San Francisco for 3 days. Had this place been more reasonably priced, we would have stayed here all 3 days. There is a real scarcity of hotels in this area and after driving back and forth several times rejecting... More
