Safe well-lit parking lot, clean updated rooms with quality construction, good wifi, safe location and hotel for single woman traveler. Breakfast buffet had good options, there was an outdoor pool, a reading nook with books to borrow, and computers for printing out boarding pass. This was nicer than a usual Best Western in my opinion. Easy on-off to 101. Good pillows, good room temp, good bed! Very pleased. Nice sized fridge in the room as well.

All the staff was very friendly and hardworking (particularly the cleaning and maintenance personnel). There is a lovely garden and pool (and fountain!) courtyard that the rooms lookout over. It is an older building so there are creaks and cracks, but overall it is safe and clean. The balcony door opened into the courtyard! Birds and trees and a cool breeze. It's closer to the freeway than I thought it would be, but only the morning commuter traffic brought a bit of noise...and I could only hear it because I had the door open. Overall it provides, within its budget, a good experience.

The lobby and common areas appear to have been recently updated, and were very nice. The front desk staff were very nice and helpful.
Novato is a quiet suburb north of San Francisco. It is mainly a working class town with a few enclaves of expensive large houses on acreage lots. There is also an area of large rural properties where horses are popular as well as other barnyard animals.
Access to the ocean is via Novato Blvd. ( a central street running through the center of town ); following Novato Blvd. west is a beautiful 45 minute drive to the town of Point Reyes Station and the Pacific Ocean beaches just beyond (10 minute drive further west).
Lovely visitor friendly beaches and hiking areas. Local shops & good restaurants, a bakery, a grocery store are all available in the town of Point Reyes Station if you take the ride to the ocean

This hotel is a great value!
This hotel is a great value! It's not fancy but it's clean and they are working at updating the rooms. It's close to Point Reyes National Seashore, Muir Woods and downtown San Francisco but it's far enough away that it feels safe and it's very affordable. There wasn't much for breakfast but the breakfasts aren't great even at the hotels that have a lot of offerings for breakfast. We ended up stopping to eat at the Marin French Cheese Co. and highly recommend it.

It's a small town surrounded by hills and beautiful landscapes. It's full of Ma and Pa's businesses. It's relaxing. Sit at the lounge and have a coffee, You'll feel that time just stopped. It's laid back and in contrast to a crowded San Francisco, just 30-minute drive. Proximity to vineyards and wineries.

Perfect for those who don't want to be in the city but convenient enough to visit to San Francisco. And convenient to visit the wine country of Sonoma and Napa Valley and go a little further north to see the tall redwoods forest.

This stay was rather pricey.
This stay was rather pricey. Although clean and generally acceptable, there was only a very basic room/facilities.
On the positive side, breakfast was nice with many options. Restaurant next door, Perry's, was really fun and we went twice.

An interesting downtown area.
An interesting downtown area. Met some very nice and helpful folks. Was disappointed that the American Indian Museum was closed but no advance notice of same. That was my primary reason for visiting the town. Apparently they are remodeling. I found the Novato Historical Museum instead. Talked with several helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staffers. Two ladies recommended a good place for dinner, Grazies, which was very good.
A “happening” downtown on Saturday night. Felt safe walking from and back to my car for dinner.
The rooms are really clean and comfortable. Much better than you would expect from motels in the area that are more expensive. I usually like to stay in the King Size room when I go on vacation and I haven’t had a complaint thus far with the rooms I’ve stayed in. The building is in a safe and quiet so you don’t have to worry about getting a good nights sleep. I also really like how close it is to Safeway and other stores in the area. Overall it doesn’t get much better than this place when it comes to value.
Safe well-lit parking lot, clean updated rooms with quality construction, good wifi, safe location and hotel for single woman traveler.

The hotel is near Sonoma & Napa.
Despite what all the reviews say, I find the beds very comfy during my stay. Also the staff was friendly during the check-in process. I used the coin laundry which worked very good.
I did not notice any shady people around the property. Starbucks in walking distance.
This is one of the very best hotels I’ve ever had the pleasure to stay in. It was top notch from start to finish - beautiful room looking out on a hillside with trees and greenery, super helpful staff, clean and really well maintained. Easy access from freeway without the noise. I loved it!
I really like this house . The area is very peaceful and the house is very spacious . You get to experience wild life saw different animals like turkeys . Deers and raccoon my family really love the open nature this house was great love the scenic views
Very, clean and well appointed. The price was extremely good relative to the other area hotels and the check in staff were friendly. This is the second time I've stayed there, separated by about two years, and both were great experiences.
View from room overlooking open space, hills, forest was pleasant and calming. Very little car traffic on road next to hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy access to highway and downtown Novato (even by foot).
This hotel has a style and warm athosphere! I loved the garden and SPA facility. Me and my girlfriend enjoyed the breakfast oatmeal, mini-muffins, tasty coffee and mango juice. Delicious!
We stayed there twice before. An older hotel, updated somewhat. This time the room was smaller, and no fridge or microwave. They have a pool and hot tub.
I loved this hotel. My room was spacious, and the staff were wonderful! I was able to jog to a hiking trail, and even had a bit of a view from my room.
