clean room
The room was super clean and the office people were very nice
Very nice property. Close to main roads. Comfortable.
It’s clean and centrally located. Less than half the price of local hotels. Located just 100 feet from the 101 freeway, it’s slightly noisy. I would stay again.
A good price for a nice stay in Mill Valllry.
Small and quaint. Clean. It is in the frontage road, so you do hear some traffic, but in the room it wasnt bad. There isnt an air conditioner, however, the room faced South, so it was a comfortable temperature
Good location for cost
Room very simple. No liquid soaps. No amenities. Ok for the price and decent location
Bad service
In the reservation I did not realize the number of people but when I made the reservation I asked for a room with 2 beds, we were going as a family, the person who attended us asked for the numbers of the members and we told him the amount and he gave us the key and everything We were there for two days and the last night we only got to sleep because we weren't there but the lady came angry 😡 and said that we had to pay for each one and my wife explained to her that she agreed to give us the room and she made fun and said that she would talk to her police wing and charged an extra charge. I don't recommend this place 🙅♀️I give it a 0 Estella
good price and nice place
I’m not presently happy with this property as my credit card was billed twice for the same amount and they’ve not processed the transaction yet so I’ve got a considerable amount of money being held for a transaction that should only have been run once.
Very nice location
Loud road noise, no maker, gross bathroom.
Not able to access bathroom with a walker and steps entering office and room.
You can find better.
The place is gross super filthy.
I was disappointed to not have coffee or the continental breakfast they once offered!! I was denied my Pomchi and I explained she was a service dog everything was fine!! In the morning when I returned my key the office apologized and I appreciated that !! I have a wonderful 2 days in Tiburon.
The place just seemed cheaply maintained, kinda dirty
Musty and dusty
Unfortunately, the room had mold either in carpets or in windows...I'm veryy allergic to mold and could smell musty odor as soon as i opened the door...and had an allergic reaction within an hour of being in room.
no ice machine
Service
I liked nothing except the bed. Bad directions, on top of a very freeway. The bed was good. This place is adequate for a night. Whatever I paid was okay, I guess. The whole place is a typical old motel with updates that had no thought for anything. I rarely get hooked on these kinds of places and I was sorry I rented there.
Poor.
Mediocre at best. You get what you pay for—bare bones small little room, filthy rug and dirty bathroom, bugs flying around inside of the ceiling light fixture. Garbage from previous occupant left on the floor. The young man at the desk was pleasant—but this is a very old, not-kept-up, property that I’d avoid. Also to their detriment, no coffee in the room.
For the price, you don't get much. The room was relatively clean, but there are NO frills other than a fridge and microwave. No literature in the room (no idea how to use the two tv remotes), no food, feels like a kind of unsafe neighborhood (clerk stays behind a bullet proof window), no place to put your luggage, tiny bathroom.
Very clean.
Good for a one night stay
They were nice. +1. Location is hard to beat. +1. Easy check in check out. +1. Comfy bed. +1. 4 stars. It’s slightly run down. Not exactly a romantic get away location. It was not the most clean. - 1
I made a mistake
One word. Affordable. Dirty. Bad wifi. Crummy toiletries. Just affordable.
Great location with access to Road into Muir Woods and Stinson Beach. Nice Safeway Center nearby. Gas station nearby. Few amenities but clean and affordable units.
Great location for what we needed. Nothing fancy, but worked out well. No A/C in the room, to keep it cool, we needed to leave windows open, but then we'd hear traffic. Other than that, it was perfect for a place to stay for the night.
very friendly staff
The room appeared to be reasonable other than the strong fowl smell when I opened the door. One window was left open so they were working on it I think. It was late so I opened windows and went to sleep. By morning it smelled better. Not a $170.00 room.
Really, really bad.
This motel is cute on the outside but really falling apart inside. Carpet stains, old furniture, mold. The list goes on. Truly, just book something else.
Beautiful location, and a simple, old motel that was clean, comfortable, nostalgic and convenient.
Everything was good except for the pillows, they were to thick for my neck
Endowment for the price.
Cheaper than any other hotel in the area.
Conveniently located, nice staff, but the place is very, very old and used.
Good stay, easy check in and out. Great location!
This is a lovely place. The mineral pool and hot tub was nice to come back to after a day at Joshua Tree
The room was $125 it was dirty it was loud it was overpriced I couldn't sleep the bed was unsteady the sheets were dirty disappointed very very disappointed
I didn’t like the noisy atmosphere close to Highway101 and the freeway. I didn’t like the fact that there was no breakfast, even coffee, offered!
The man that checked me in and out was super nice. Everything was clean and I felt safe after I went through and locked all of the windows (every window was behind shutter and unlocked, you have to pull but the shutters open and you can lock the windows) it was nice and quiet, had a fridge and microwave. I only wish they allowed pets so I could have brought my dog.
Great stay,Great value
Great experience. The hotel was right next to the highway and we were worried about the traffic noise. Once we got into the room there was no noise. We also asked for a room that was further into the corner because of this. The owner said it was a more expensive room because it had two beds instead of one. But he did not charge us extra. It was a very nice of him.
Great Shower Head!
First room had no fridge or microwave. I booked this property for those. I travel with meals to reheat. Finally the third room had them. There also was no fan in the room, only a heater. Made it for an uncomfortable sleep with stale air. Great shower head though.
I have zero lights, no remote for the tv. The tv I can easily do without. No lights is not worth the price of the room.
Great location, just right off the highway
The staff are easy going and the parking is close to the rooms. The rooms and bed are comfortable and very clean.
Cleanliness of room and bathroom. Friendliness and helpfulness of staff.
The heater in the room not wirking properly
Its okey
Worked for us
We needed a place for one night after a wedding. This worked for us - it was near both the ceremony and the reception. The bed was very comfortable. Traffic noise could be a problem for some, as this motel is very close to hwy 101. Also, someone heavyset would have difficulty in the bathroom, which is very narrow, and the toilet is stuck behind the sink. We were pleased that there was a McDonald's very close for breakfast, although no sidewalk to walk there. An In N Out was close if we'd been around for lunch.
Covenient, adequate, and good value.
Good location, clean rooms. Polite staff
great and good excellent service and clean room.
everything was great, service cleanroom safe parking I love the place recommended to everyone.
Clean and basic
Bare bones motel...but the bed was very comfortable, the shower was strong and hot, and the room itself was clean. Drawbacks - our room didn’t have any bedside lamps, no cups... and oddly no art on the walls. The staff were friendly. We would stay here again if up that way.
Sparing You The Pics!
At least the bed was comfortable. The room had no carpet and an end table that was beaten up and scratched. The whole thing reminded me of a hotel in the 1950s. Pictures, I mean. At least I wasn't there much!
There was a locked door inside the room that led to nothing but at night had scratching, dripping, and clanking sounds coming from it. One chair was sticky and covered in glitter. There was a crumpled up viagra package in the closet. There was blood in the nightstand. the carpet and blankets were stained. The peephole in the door was just a hole with no glass.
Perfectly pleasant stay - remarkably quiet given its location beside the freeway. Bed was comfortable and service was very friendly. No complaints.
Great little motel!
This little motel was one of the best I’ve stayed in. We stayed just overnight as a stop on our road trip along the PCH. The room was very clean. The shower was HOT! Just what I needed after a day of driving. The bed was comfortable. Instead of an AC unit there was a giant fan. It was just right since the temperature outside was not too hot. The cute lady at the front desk was very sweet and accommodating. Parking was easily accessible and it was easy to get right back onto the freeway when we were ready to hit the road again.
I had a good stay - the staff was friendly and was just right for the money!
Such a classic feel to this motel. Updated bedding and linens in
Not very clean. The bathroom was not very clean. One packet of shampoo, soap, and lotion.
Bare bones facility extremely overpriced. Old beat up furniture, old tub had anti-slip bottom that was black from wear. No lamps, just one glaring ceiling light. No ice, no vending machines. Sheets were too small for bed.
The charge was economical and the arrangement worked.
.
The motel has upgraded beds mattress equal to high end hotel. Small but clean rooms ..good smell and windows even in bathroom..I felt safe and content and staff and management very nice and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.
So so
The hot water was barely warm enough to take a comfortable shower.
The room temp was Very warm.. took a while to cool the room down.. no AC just a fan.. the noise of fan on all night was Annoying.. had trouble sleeping first night. Bed sheets were noisy when moving around..
Ice quite afford able motel
Very quite. Clean Will return
Average for an older motel. Wall heater and older door with Kwkset type door knob lock and old dead bolt lock.
Cozy older motel that has been updated and well maintained. No hair dryer. No coffee maker either but Mc Donald's is a 2 minute walk
The rooms were small but nicely furnished and clean. Overall experience was higher convenience and comfort for a much lower price than other "budget" hotels near by.
It was awesome the only thing was that the heater was working kind of slow
It was convenient to 711 and the bus line. The beds were really comfy, but it was supposed to be 1 queen, 1 full. Instead it was 2 fulls and my man and i couldn't sleep comfortably. We ended up putting both mattresses on the floor next to each other, which was kind of a pain in the ass. The tub didn't drain and one set of wooden shutters wouldn't stay shut. Fortunately we're exhibitionists, so we didn't really mind.
Lady was very nice did not like bathroom no shower curtain beds were a little small
Hard to review this property... It's a bare bones motel right off a busy freeway with all the noise traffic that implies. And it's very expensive for what it is, but it's the cheapest option around when you fly in late and only have a few hours to get some sleep and then get back on the road. Room badly needs updating, but the bed is comfortable. Bathroom is tiny with zero counter space, but it was clean. Would I stay here for more than a short night - no. Would I stay here again when I only had 6 hours to sleep and shower - probably.
Right on the freeway. Old and worn everything. Dingy, smelly with air fresheners used to mask the old worn out carpet, bedding, etc.
Close to Sausalito. No AC and not noted in Expedia's listing. No screen in windows, kind of important with no ac, fan on wall. Carpet filthy. Old building and interior not very well maintained. Way over priced.
Much to be desired
This motel is old and leaves a lot to be desired. The access and parking is very poor, tight parking, shrubs need trimmed so hard to see getting out to a busy street. Near the freeway too, so lots of road noise. No air conditioning so windows had to be opened for fresh air, but noisy. The wi-fi services was very spotty, not dependable. I had to walk out to the street to the office for coffee in the morning - only available from 7:30 to 9:30. The only good thing was clean towels and sheets, room pretty clean. I won't stay here again!
I've already sent it I don't need to say anymore and somebody stands between a 10 inch piece of glass and they're on the Expedia for a hotel room there's something wrong with this picture
Its an older property with the rooms refurbished; The mattresses are WY Too Soft; no reading kight ; have to ask the manager for ice; freeway noisec is manageable at night; rooms can get rather warm——-
Great value for the area
This hotel is centrally located in Marin County and is an excellent value for the area. It’s a bit dated, but my suite was clean, no odors, no dust, a comfy bed, a fan, clean carpet, and very good water pressure in the shower. I would stay here again to save $200 plus per night that other local hotels charge while I am traveling for business.
Small rooms but they are clean. Small showers that don't get too hot but hot enough. They provide soap and shampoo in small one-use packages so bring your own in case you need more. Adequate parking. Staff was courteous. The beds are very comfortable. The pillows are firm, better than other pricier hotels. Rooms have small fridge and microwave. Short drive/walk from grocery store. Great location on access road next to freeway. Open the windows to get a nice breeze. Would definitely stay here again. We liked it a lot.
Only in Marin could a tint, not cared for room, command such an outrageous price. But again this Marin county close to San Francisco. In fairness, asa well traveled individual- and 30 year home owner in Marin, cost in this area has far outstripped rest of the country (a few exceptions). This motel of last resort mirrors the value and quality proposition unique to this area.
No air conditioner, the sound of fans and the traffic are terrible.
Cozy, but no hairdryer, coffee maker or iron in the room. No air conditioning. Fan was sufficient but the noise of it made it hard for me to sleep. Fan noise didn't bother husband.
I found it hard to sleep being near 101 highway. All else was comfortable. Parking was limited to one car. We had two cars and parked a few blocks away in a safe neighborhood.
Bad shape 1950s motel on freeway 101. Cracked sink, red stains on torn carpet. We left at 9:30 and drove 2 hours home rather than spend the night. We paid 180 dollars for a dump. I’m not happy with Travelocity for making this property available.
The location was perfect for us. Close to where we needed to be. Easy access to the freeway, going north and south.
Great value
Great room for the price
It’s right on the freeway, and overall, the hotel is a very shabby place.
They try hard but the property is old...I think they will be doing a remodle and if they do the place will be Cherry
Great location and good old-fashioned character. No problems.
Not good
Bed was broken, most of the outlets didn't work
Average Stay
Stay was just OK. Tiny room with everything old and even no shower curtain!
OK, but would not stay again.
WiFi is non-existent. No HBO since they use Dish. Room was clean, but very funky--including an odd kitchenette with lots of wasted space and a long gas pipe that was capped and sticking out of the wall. Bed was comfortable and the room was surprisingly quiet considering it is right next to 101. If this was a one night stay I might rate it higher, but for a longer stay it is not worth it.
Hotel Stay
The stay was good, no issues. Check in was quick and didn't have any issues with the room. The refrigerator works really well if that is a necessity for your stay.
Bed bugs
There were bed bugs biting me all night
Great place!
I left an earlier review on January 21 after a one-night stay, but have stayed several more nights and have a much more positive view of the property, and also managed to easily fix the noise issue after some fiddling with the window. Highly recommend and charming property.
Good for the price
Good for the price and would recommend if you need something in the area and don't need much. The property is older but quaint. There is noise from the highway, at least in some rooms, although that isn't a problem if you are a deep sleeper.
Dated but great value
Tamalpais Motel is a great value. It is certainly dated but was clean, centrally-located and a great value in otherwise expensive Mill Valley. Check-in was efficient and the staff were friendly.
Good to go
The beds were actually comfy! I always have to take my own stuff so hotel beds don't kill me but I was able to sleep here with no issue! It's just off the freeway so it is convenient and the staff was great!
