Marin Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"We liked the large hot tub and the outdoor pool area. Our one bedroom suite was spacious and conveniently located on the first floor near the pool. The only negative was the smell in the room. At first we thought it was overuse of cleaning supplies, but it did not lessen at all in three days. We think they may have been trying to mask pet odors (we did not bring a pet). We liked it enough that we would stay there again if we could get a room that was not pet friendly."

Best Western Plus Novato Oaks Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I stay here once a month all year long. I am constantly impressed with the location, facility and grounds, But the most important and impressive feature is each an every member of the Staff. They always recognized me when I arrive and treat me and every guest with a bright smile, terrific attitude and kindness. At no time with this more evident than my latest stay. Unfortunately, I contracted a severe case of food poisoning on Thursday. I was due to check out on Friday and the hotel was fully booked for the rest of the weekend. Everyone was very understanding and did everything in their power each day to keep me in the same premium room all the way through to when I checked out on Monday. They offered their assistance and support throughout. I wish that I had all of their names to thank the individually. I know that Kim had a great deal to do with it. Thank you one and all. I will continue to be there once a month and look forward to thanking all of you in person."

Inn Marin and Suites, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent value for Marin/Sonoma. Rooms are the traditional 50's motel setup where you can pull up right in front of your room (all are first floor), but unlike most setups, the main window and light source is on the back of the room, looking out into a spacious green space with many tables and tree swings scattered around. It's a beautiful spot on a warm summer evening and many guests were sitting out at these tables. The grounds give me the feeling that this was once a fine upscale resort and we felt like we had found a hidden gem compared to the corporate concrete boxes next to the freeway all over America. Two amenities were not functional: the hot tub and the gas firepit tables. Both look like there is no intention of getting either of them working anytime soon. Free continental breakfast was the minimum you could offer to claim that amenity, featuring industrial white bread products, corn flakes, Cheerios, yogurt, apples, and the worst coffee I can recall - I dumped it after a few sips. Go to one of the many nearby coffee specialists or use the in-room Keurig. Rooms have been remodeled and kept in fine condition, with a modern bathroom, mini fridge, microwave and a big TV. The spot is good for us when we are visiting friends in Petaluma and Novato, so as long as their price remains competitive, we will be back."
