This little hotel is tucked away in the middle of cutest little town. We chose it because of its proximity to Muir Woods. We didn't have the opportunity to explore the little shops and eateries, but there are many options. It is also super close to Sausalito. We had a nice balcony that looked out at the back of the property with huge trees. We only stayed one night, less than 24 hours, but the breakfast spread was better than any I have seen. Lox and bagels, quiches, fresh fruit, coffee, pastries, yogurt, juices, and nice tea selection. We would definitely stay there again.

Staff was wonderful. Wine and cheese was excellent. Breakfast was fantastic. In our building, there was no artwork on the hallway walls, elevator was bland tan, but that should not sway you because the rooms were beautiful. One electrical outlet didn't work but there were plenty of other accessable outlets. Parking was great, covered. Location for walking around Mill Valley and access to Muir Woods was perfect.
Lovely spot! Easy walk to many shops and restaurants. Comfortable and spacious rooms, really delicious breakfast included. Helpful staff, free parking. Highly recommend.

Location, beauty, terrific rooms, great staff -- everything about this hotel is wonderful.
Very nice location. You can explore Mill Valley easily. The wine and cheese evening get together is a nice touch. Breakfast is superb. Easy access to Muir Woods. Don’t forget to make parking and park reservations
The room smelled overpoweringly of bleach, which made being in the room and sleeping difficult. We could open a window, but it didn't help too much, since there was no cross ventilation. The receptionist didn't seem very concerned.
The breakfast was outstanding. The bed was comfortable; the room quite small given the high booking price.
Overall, I would not stay here again--I could go to a restaurant for a fine breakfast.
Beautiful park nearby! Everything in town was walkable and the hotel was so clean. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! I would definitely recommend staying there.

I loved everything about this hotel. It's right in town, you can walk to the Dipsea Trail. There's a fabulous breakfast spread (though they could use more vegan options) and there's also a wine evening event most nights.
Our stay at the Mill Valley Inn on Sept 5 and 6 was memorable. A beautiful room in an ideal downtown location with great service and outstanding weather made it a wondeful short getaway.
The room was beautiful and clean. The location was perfect. But the best part was the man who worked at the front desk. He was outstanding! He was so friendly and helpful.
