    Cute renovated hotel in San Rafael
    My daughter and I stayed at the Marin Lodge this past weekend. It appears to be a motel that has been renovated and upgraded to a nice lodge hotel. The outside of the rooms was lovely. I believe it was the owners who greeted us at the desk. They immediately made us feel…

    What a great stay!
    My fiance and I were visiting a friend around the area and came across this lodge during our research. Like the reviews, the staff were nice and helpful. Room and bathroom was spankin' clean and can be cleaned daily if you hang the appropriate tab on your door. Pastries (in the…

    Very comfortable stay on a quiet street
    The lodge is located alongside the 101, but it was a quiet stay for us. Our suite was roomy and clean. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding provided us with enough warmth along with the nice heater. There was adequate lighting in the room, but not a lot of seating.…

    Clean, Cushy, and Comfy
    Wow; this was a short but lovely stay. Surely, that was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. If only I could have slept late. This is a nice residential neighborhood, where you can safely take a walk after dinner on tree lined Lincoln Avenue. It is an easy 15 to 20…

    Hidden gem
    This property appears to have been a motor lodge that has been very well updated. The room was very clean, warm and inviting, cozy (not neccessarily small), well decorated. It had a refridgerator, microwave and flat screen tv. This hotel is surprisingly quiet given that it is…

    Hello, is there a safe in the rooms or safety deposit boxes at reception? Thank you
    Sorry but we don't have any safety deposit box in the rooms. You can always deposit your important items to the Manager.

    Hello, my husband is a retired Air Force Master Sargeant 20 years and since we are on a fixed income we were wondering if you give any type of military discounts?
    Call Marin lad he and ask them. They are very nice there

    Hi everyone, would appreciate any suggestions - will be staying at the Marin Lodge with my family in a couple of months. Will have a car, planning to sightsee in San Francisco for just a couple of days - the usual tourist destinations in the city. Wondering if it works better to drive into the city and park there for the day, or else if the San Rafael transit center is walking distance from the lodge and it makes more sense to take the bus into the city. Thanks!
    Hopefully this works this time ... We parked at the Larkspur Ferry parking lot and rode the ferry over. What a wonderful idea the staff at the Main Lodge gave us! It was only $2 to park the car there if I remember right and saved us the hassle of traffic and finding parking in San Francisco. Once in town, we bought an all day pass for the public transportation there (got it at the cable car ticket counter) Hope this helps
