This hotel is very nice and great location. Only 10-15 minute bike ride to Sausalito and 10 minute bike ride to the Golden Gate Bridge. Really great solitude just on the edges of San Francisco. Suggest staying in the newer modern rooms and upgrade to a suite.

We chose this property for the location. The property was decently clean. The office staff and hours is bare bones. There wasn't enough parking for the number of guests. The biggest problem was the noise. I was awake all night every night of my stay due to people shouting and folks in the rooms above stomping around until 4am. I was wearing earplugs, running the air conditioner and playing white noise. It would be helpful if the property could post notices about being courteous after midnight. I can't imagine why someone felt they had to stomp around in their room for 2 hours every night. In addition. The rooms are quite expensive for the amenities offered.
