For the price compared to other cities nearby, hotel was perfect. Very green, to be outside after a long day and able to relax with birds chirping. Area was cold because the weather but showers were really hot came in clutch would get this hotel again next time I’m up north
After a long night out beds were perfect to knock out on

I was skeptical because the price was so low, but I booked a couple of rooms for a long weekend and was really impressed. The check in was quick, staff friendly, and the rooms were very clean. The grounds were well maintained. The only thing was that the hot tub was not in service, but it was absolutely fine since its not really the time of year for that anyway. Also, if you are looking for a full breakfast, you will be disappointed, but a nice snack to tide you over is what is available and the coffee was good. Would definitely consider it if ever staying in Novato again.
