Close to shopping and restaurants. Staff was very accommodating as we arrived a couple hours before check in and they were able to get us a room rather quickly. We were okay if they were not able to but I appreciate they were able to make the effort.

The room was clean and fresh. The bed linens were crisp and clean. The room was equipped with a coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, iron, flat screen tv, and hair dryer. Complimentary bottled water, coffee, fruit and pastries are provided in the main office in the morning. The hotel staff was friendly, even going so far as to remember and address me by my name when greeting me in the morning.
My primary complaints would be 1) the road noise, which, for the most part can be shut out by...

For the price and fact that it's a motel, the friendliness and service was great. Breakfast is included and there were lots of good quality options to choose from. My only complaint is there wasn't a blanket in the room in addition to the sheet and bed cover.

This is an older hotel - kinda feels like visiting my grandma. That said, the rooms are spacious, the folks are super friendly. If you need 5-star, go elsewhere. If you want friendly and affordable with good amenities, stay here. I stay here every time I travel to a Bay Area race.

My stay was fantastic. The only negative thing I experienced was that they removed the US flag from its place of honor at the peak of their hotel in order to fly a pride flag in its place. As a veteran whos friends gave their lives for the US and whos coffins were draped with that flag, this was intolerable. There were plenty other places they could and did fly the pride flag. It should never fly in lieu of the Stars and Stripes.

We stayed with our preteen and little guy and it was wonderful. Area felt pretty safe. We had a bay view room and got to watch the lighthouse at Alcatraz at night. Real close to dining, Ghirardelli Square, Fisherman's Wharf and just a couple blocks from the Big Bus station. Breakfasts were good and definitely saved money not paying for that every day! They are strict about the breakfast cutoff.

Their guest service is a 20/10. I called earlier in the week to ask about arriving early and parking. They were gracious and accommodating, saying we could check into our room if it was ready when we arrived. On arrival, the doorman (shamefully I didn’t get his name) was welcoming, friendly and efficient. I had injured my knee a couple of days earlier and was on crutches and he did everything he could to help me. At the front desk, Jared and Dominique were warm, welcoming, professional and...

It's a charming, well-maintained older California building. We stayed in a room overlooking the courtyard and enjoyed the quiet, the flowers and the serenity of the whole location. It's convenient for restaurants and shops, the Hop-on/Hop-off tour bus, and there's even a 24-hr Walgreens close by. We're very happy to have found a hotel in San Francisco we want to return to.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best area to stay in Stinson Beach?
The best area to stay in Stinson Beach is directly along the beachfront or in the immediate residential areas just a few blocks from the sand.
For couples seeking a relaxing getaway, staying near the main beach access points offers unparalleled convenience. You'll find a selection of vacation rentals and a few small inns within a short walk of the Pacific Ocean, allowing for easy beach strolls and sunset views. The main village area, near the intersection of Highway 1 and Panoramic Highway, provides access to the few local eateries and shops.
Families will find the residential streets just behind the main beach area to be an excellent choice. Many rental homes here offer more space and amenities, often including outdoor areas for children to play.
When is the best time to go to Stinson Beach?
The best time to go to Stinson Beach is during the late spring and early fall, specifically from May to June and September to October. These months offer the most pleasant weather conditions for enjoying the beach and surrounding natural beauty.
During these periods, Stinson Beach typically experiences clearer skies, warmer temperatures, and less fog compared to the peak summer months. This makes it ideal for activities like sunbathing, swimming, surfing, and hiking the trails in the nearby Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The ocean water is also at its warmest during this time.
Families will find these months particularly appealing. The comfortable weather allows for extended time on the beach without the chill of cooler seasons, and the less crowded conditions compared to mid-summer make for a more relaxed experience. It's a great time for children to play in the sand and enjoy the ocean.
Couples looking for a tranquil getaway will appreciate the quieter atmosphere before and after the summer rush.
