    quiet atmosphere

    a great base for exploring parks and attractions nearby

    I had such a wonderful experience here. the rooms were clean, quiet, and updated. I loved being so close to the scenic Lagoon Park and the vibrant Downtown San Rafael Farmers Market, which made weekend strolls a joy. As a single traveler, I appreciated having a comfy bed and a space to work, but it would’ve been nice to have more dining options within walking distance.

    The lodge offers a cozy atmosphere with friendly owners ensuring a comfortable stay. The room was clean, though the noise from traffic was somewhat noticeable. Breakfast included fresh pastries, coffee, and beverages. It's a bit tricky getting onto the main road, but overall a pleasant experience.

    The Marin Lodge was a quaint little place that blew us away with its cozy ambiance and cleanliness. We enjoyed the spacious room that featured a comfortable bed and art around the hotel. The location was great, providing easy access to downtown with lots of nearby restaurants.

    Great Stay with Local Charm

    We had a lovely night in the Queen Suite. The on-site managers were incredibly helpful, guiding us to the ferry for a memorable trip into the city. The cozy atmosphere along with complimentary pastries made our stay even more enjoyable. Don't miss parking in Larkspur for the ferry ride!

    This place was a good match for strolling around in San Rafael with the best value for money ratio. The staff were super nice and helpful, and the room was spotless. Be cautious when leaving the driveway. parked cars make it hard to see oncoming traffic.
