The Lodge is an excellent value. We needed a place to stay about an hour north of San Francisco on our roadtrip and the Marin Lodge totally delivered. The staff are amazing - so friendly and kind. Plenty of free parking. Spacious, clean rooms with comfy beds. A fridge with complimentary bottled water and sodas in the reception area, along with complimentary coffee and pastries in the morning. There is some road noise in the early mornings but the heat/AC covers it. We both slept very soundly. Plus, a terrific rate. I would definitely stay here again.

Owners were extremely friendly and hospitable. Our room was very clean, and the property was quiet and well-kept (loved the pine trees) 🌲 Will recommend to others looking for a hotel in San Rafael.

Very near highway. But I did notice a lot of hotels in California are just off the highway. I booked this motel for one night. A quick stop for a nights sleep that was on the cheaper side. Otherwise would not have picked. But the room was clean. Maybe replace carpet or change to hardwood or similar.

The location is convenient to freeways and dining. San Francisco is 20 minutes to the south. The rooms are like suites, with high ceilings, ample lighting plenty of doutlets, and comfortable furnishings. Staff are friendly and helpful. Ample free parking is all off street.
