This place is excellent. We were in town to see a show in Point Reyes and even though it is not super close, the pet friendly room on the corner (#14) had a sweet view right on their harbor and its own parking space. I did not know there was also a swimming pool till I got there. Great clean room and nice people at the front desk. Short little drive to food and drinks. I will be back!

Let's put it this way...you're not staying here for the room. You're staying here because it's on the water...rooms are dated so expect that and all is good.
