Top Golden Gate National Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Marin Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Pool and hot were also very clean and nice."

Mill Valley Inn

8/10 Good

"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."

Muir Woods Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location for Marin County. Had great coffee or hot chocolate in lobby. No service for out room with a 4 night stay, but that was ok. Could have used clean towels and garbage removal. Staff not accessible most of the time . Tidal flooding affecting road in front of hotel, but ways to get around it and only between 3 to 6 .Parked in front of our room."
