Marin Lodge, hotel in San Rafael

Just 22.5 from Muir Woods, the Marin Lodge, features free WiFi. A refrigerator are included in all guest rooms. Point Reyes is 20 mi away.

I really liked it location and situation, laid out across the hillside in San Rafael. The rooms at first glance were small, but that was all we needed. I loved the bathroom. Bed comfortable. Price extremely reasonable. Location I repeat was good. We drive three hours to get to the city and this place gave us a nice waystation to hang out at and get into San Francisco less than an hour on the following day. That really worked for us.

    The room was spacious and had great air conditioning.

    The room was spacious and had great air conditioning. They had blackout drapes and a nice tub. I loved the shampoo and conditioner that was already in refillable dispensers in the tub/shower area. They also had every channel I could ask for with the TV and I was able to access my netflix as well. I will stay there again. Great value.

    San Rafael was a great location for our mission of tracing ancestors in Marin County. It was also easy to get to the San Francisco bay area and beyond. Plenty of shops within a short drive. We even took a trip out to Napa while there.

    There are lots of restaurants on the main street.

    There are lots of restaurants on the main street. There are things to be seen in the surrounding area, but I have seen them before. This trip was to see people. I ate at IHOP, great friendly spot open until 10 pm. Also Phyliss's Giant Burgers - and that's no lie. I also had a very good crepe at the Crepevine Restaurant, which had a large selection of crepes, omelettes, sandwhiches and more.

    It's a good base from which to visit Marin and other neighboring towns, some that are much more expensive. 4th Street has some good eating, Lundy's and Theresa + Johnny's for breakfast if you need more than Villa Inn's breakfast. Also loved being a short drive (could probably have walked to both restaurants) and to Copperfield's Bookstore. Also if you can't handle the big city, this is a less intense and cheaper option than staying in San Francisco.

    The retreat is very easy to reach from Hwy 101 and convenient to San Rafael and environs. You need a car to get around. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fine. The decor is clearly very well planned for the hosts. It was a little over the top for us but comfortable. Having access to a washer and dryer was great. As it was cold and rainy we couldn't take advantage of any nearby walking trails or outside spaces.

    We really liked how quiet and private the hotel was. The rooms were clean and well kept, and the suite we were given had a partial kitchen with a refrigerator and working stove. This brought an additional level of comfort to our stay. The staff were courteous and attentive, we really appreciate how kind Yoely was to us. We will definitely recommend this hotel to friends and will be returning guests.

    Hotel was comfortable but a bit run down. It had a small air-conditioner in the room (very welcome in the heat). The hotel is in a very quiet location. San Rafael is an excellent base for exploring southern Marin County by public transport, because it has good train and bus links north and south, and to the ferry terminals; it has bus services west and east as well.

    Lovely location, close to everything but quiet and peaceful. Very spacious and comfortable, best night’s sleep we’ve had in quite some time! Loved everything about it! The owners were extremely responsive to questions and had excellent recommendations for restaurants and activities. Wish we could have stayed longer!!
