Great getaway spot. If you are visiting Point Reyes National Seashore, this is the best option for lodging. It’s close to all the interest points in the park, good access to the water spots like kayaking or paddle boarding. Very quiet. Our room is right on the water. When looking out from the room, it’s almost if we are looking out of the balcony on a cruise.

Cute little inn on the water!

Beautiful area and the hotel was very conveniently located, right on the water! Our room was great and had a view of the bay. Room was very clean and had all the necessities! Bed was comfy, but could’ve had better pillows. Overall would definitely stay again!

False advertising: No stove/oven. When we settled in we saw a note from mgt saying the stove/oven didn’t work. What?? We wouldn’t have paid that amount, nor stayed there if we had known that upon booking. There weren’t walkable places to eat and we were very disappointed to not be able to prepare the food we brought to cook.

We enjoyed an overnight stay; however, when we saw we had a kitchen we went to local store and purchased food for breakfast. Then found out the stove does not work. We were told the gas is turned off and they don't advise the kitchen. It would be a courtesy to let people know when they arrive so they don't make the same assumption. BTW; the local grocery is about double typical cost. Didn't have an issue with the price because of remote location. Just would of not purchased food to cook. The beds were comfortable.

Staying with my Ants on Tomales Bay

The bay setting is nice but for the $750 2 night stay in # 36 not worth the prices. The rooms were fairly substandard, converted out of an older motel that was meant to look more modern, but did not really have the modern conveniences or posh quality Advertised. While it came complete with a small kitchen. It couldn’t be used because of an ant infestation ( and the ancient stove and cabinets are very dirty) The weekend management was rather irate by our “ non-emergency “ stopped by our room but did very little about the ants telling us.” It’s the country and there are ants.” He left us with a borrowed can of ant spray.

The ants were not going. They were just hiding here with my milk in the refrigerator.

Here’s an example of exactly how the oven looked when we got there

This is the only door to the outside, which did not seal very well with laughably not secure

And the ants weren’t strictly staying in the kitchen they liked other parts of the room as well

The word resort if misleading for 2025. Perhaps back in 1950 it was considered a resort for its time. Not only is the decor dated, so is the plumbing (low inefficient water pressure) as are the amenities. For example, when we asked for an iron, there was none available to us. Which was unfortunate considering you'd expect more from a "resort." The pillows were so flat and most of the windows did not open making the room warm and stuffy. The shampoo/conditioner could've been from the dollar tree for all I know. Which isn't why you visit but gives you an idea of the lack on forethought in providing a cozy experience. This is the 3rd time we've stayed here, each room unique and never as disappointing as this most recent time. Which is unfortunate because the staff are wonderful and accommodating. But it does not compare to the slapped on paint to make this place appear up to the times.

This motel was very pleasant! We were surprised at how much it offered for being in an area with few options for places to stay. It has multiple room options because it has multiple different buildings for it's rooms. It's not cookie cutter. We got one of their dog friendly rooms and it was great. Very well appointed, plenty of room, partially updated. We would definitely stay here again!
