All of the staff were kind, efficient and helpful. They were able to accommodate my late arrival and even upgraded my room to a suite which was spacious and sparkling clean. It would be ideal for a family Also my room out of view of greenery which was very nice The bed was comfortable. There were plenty of towels and amenities and the location is so convenient to everywhere right off the highway. Plus there's good food That's easy to get to and open 24 hours. It would be a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to spend more time in the golden land with my new home away from home

The only thing is that the GPS directions didn't match the address properly, so if you're going to map it put in the hotel, not the address

We LOVE the location & friendly staff. We came back to stay again to work & visit Mill Valley. The 2 beds & 6 pillows, of various thickness were perfect. I need a thinner pillow, due to neck issues & there were lots of fluffy ones. The bedding & bathroom were very clean. We like all the tile & foux wood floor, rather than carpet. We love the fresh cool air & great shutters on front, back & bathroom windows. They also provide a large tower fan.

We did tell the cleaning person, when we were checking out, the floor was dirty this time. I explained I wore clean socks & they were dirty, from walking in room #12 has one small bathroom mirror, that doesn't reach near the bathroom sink. One longer mirror, will allow short guests ability to use mirror. There is also nowhere to place soap in very nice shower. ( I might suggest they install a shelf or soap holder OR have shower gel, shampoo & conditioner dispensers, instead of individual tiny soap, etc.) We will be back AND we are glad to let hard working people know and of course, left a cash tip. These are minor things, that can be remedied. We do sleep well & love the location.

The manager was wonderful: helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. Housekeeping was excellent. Microwave and fridge provided. Plenty of clean towels and pillows. Nice hot shower and bathtub. 99% quiet environment. Hair dryer can be borrowed from office. Safeway store and many eateries within a few blocks. Unbeatable price for Bay area!

Rooms are small and furnishings are bare bones but met my expectations for the low nightly rate. Don't expect hooks, rails, or hangers to hang things. Renovations are due, but then they would undoubtedly have to charge more, and I'm perfectly content with things as they are.

Super friendly staff. Looks old from the outside but the inside was updated. Can't beat the price. Will definitely be staying here again!

There's a lot of road noise but we sleep with a white noise machine everywhere we go so it didn't keep us awake.

I slept well; the bed was comfortable. The heater worked well and was quiet. I liked the shower -- the flow was steady and even. Microwave and small refrigerator were already running when we got there. Good location for us because it was only five minutes from our event.

Would have liked a small coffee machine in the room. The TV worked well once I figured out how to get it set up, so having an information card about that would have been useful.

This hotel is a great value for the money and is close to both the freeway as well as the shopping center nearby (with a Safeway). The rooms were clean and as quiet as you can be when you are near a freeway. The bed was very comfortable and the staff very friendly.

The hotel is old and worn, so we did have an issue when the shower curtain detached from the wall. The manager fixed this right away - so a didn't like was taken care of. The room was provided with a fan, but I didn't like the fact that the temperature was not well controlled - using fan/portable heaters/windows for ventilation.

It was clean and the bed was comfortable. It also cool down well at night.

It was very basic. Furnishings were old, but functional. Nothing fancy, but did the job.

very budget friendly and convenient location close to gas stations and food options

perhaps an updated exterior/interior/updated sign to appeal to more people. because besides the aforementioned, location, arrangements, staff and convenience are all great.
