Rooms are cozy and clean, staff was helpful and professional. Check in and out was easy. Very good place to stay if planning on hiking around Tomales Bay, short drive to Point Reyes Station, where there are a few restaurants, shops, and a grocery store. Loved staying here and getting up early to see the sunrise over the bay. Would stay here again!

Took a trip with my daughter grandson and his friend. It was great fishing. We actually saw someone catch a bat ray right off the dock in front of the hotel. Staff was very kind and helpful. It’s a great place for paddle boarding fishing hanging out in the water nice and quiet staff is very friendly. The restaurant was great also

From arrival we were pleasantly surprised and treated well, Sophia at the front desk checked us in after the front desk had closed. She also suggested a great place to eat (The Tap Room in Inverness Park...yumm!). The property has sitting areas throughout and we were able to watch the stars at night! We will definitely be back! Thank you Sophia!!!!

The hotel is situated in a lovely location. Rooms were nice and clean. There was a slight odor, but being so close to the water it not surprising with humidity. The grounds are very well maintained and the staff very pleasant.

Beautiful, quiet, and perfectly located. My room had a bay view and a fireplace, with outdoor seating to enjoy the peaceful evenings. It’s family‑ and pet‑friendly, close to markets and restaurants, and only about 30 minutes from Point Reyes Lighthouse. Just note that many places nearby close early. A great stay.
