The gentleman, that received me at arrival, was very friendly, and polite. And the First maid Lady at arrival was also friendly. The 2 nd maid lady her name is Tula. The Tamalpais Motel is the best place, where is close to Sausalito, Tiburon, Tennessee Valley, Golden Gate, Marin Headlands. Everyone this will be my home base when I am in town.

I’ve stayed twice at this motel. The staff is very nice. The first time I stayed was better than the second. It’s a fine motel if you’re of the mindset you get what you pay for.

I wish that there were bedside lamps. No A/C, but the weather at night was not too hot, so we were comfortable. Reasonable price, so nice and convenient stay.
