5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

This little hotel hanging out over the water could not have been better for a birthday/mothers' day weekend. The private deck with a view of SF and the bay was very special. The place is very well appointed and unbelievably quiet, even though it's smack dab in the middle of Sausalito right next to the ferry dock.

We just got back from our stay at The Inn Above the Tide and the only thing that can be said is Amazing. Each room has a great view of the bay and if you are lucky enough get a balcony. The staff was beyond accommodating when we arrived early, service was excellent when it came to places to eat... More

I was so impressed with this hotel. It did everything it said on the tin and more. Our room was even better than the pictures. We had ground floor room with a glass bordered balcony, directly over the sea. Nothing obscured the fabulous view, It was a pleasure sitting out to enjoy the vista and watch the ferries, which are...

We just got back from staying 2 nights in this amazing hotel. It is worth every penny with the private balcony that is literally over the water in the best location in Sausalito! You can hop on the ferry as it is right next door. There are many awesome restaurants to choose from and the hotel will make a reservation... More

Problem with sharing this is we may not be able to get in next time! Definitely way above your average here. Staff were friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are magnificent. We had one without a balcony as I wanted a shower without a bath, and what a fabulous shower it was. The view of the... More

My husband and I like to spend our anniversary here, but this year it was closed for renovation, so we weren't able. However, we decided to do a belated stay last night in the 'Panorama Suite', which is one of the new rooms. Well worth the $975.00 per night! The room is spacious, beautifully decorated, warm and charming. The view... More

5 stars for everything -- service is sensational; rooms great and literally overhanging the water. Sit on our private deck and watch the activities -- the ferry, kayakers, the scenery. Breakfasts very nice; all the staff say yes to everything and don't stand around with their hands out for a tip! In and out valet parking made it real easy... More

This hotel has the best location in Sausalito - close to the ferry, shops, and restaurants - and an incredible view of San Francisco. Rooms have big windows on the bay and some offer balconies. Staff welcomed us warmly and provided wonderful wine and cheese each evening and breakfast. It is pricey, but not for the area. I would go... More

We were not quite sure what to expect from the hotel web site. We had run in to a couple in Napa Valley just coming from Sausalito. We told them we were going to Sausalito at the end of the trip and staying at the Inn Above Tide. They said "lucky you, if we go back that is where we... More
