Detailed Reviews
This Best Western was easily the top hotel we stayed at this trip - the others were chains that begin with an "H". This hotel was spotless- the room, the grounds, the lobby, the breakfast area! No dust or anything else anywhere! Bed was comfy too! Breakfast is served in the restaurant. There was scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, and bacon served up from behind the counter- and these were REAL eggs (not powdered), real potatoes ( not previously frozen). There was also cereal, oatmeal, fruit, toasts available. They obviously take a lot of pride in taking care of their hotel!

Hotel's Favourite
We came to the Bay area for a family wedding, and a block of rooms here was put aside for guests -- with a great rate. It was comfortable and so convenient to the wedding as well as surrounding sights such as Muir Woods and Sausalito.
Please know that the rooms are on the small side, but they are clean and just what we needed. I only wish there were more outlets near the bed, especially for electronics, and the lighting in the bathroom was not the best for putting on make-up. We did enjoy the expanded free breakfast (OMG! Not sure where they get their croissants, but they were delicious!).
The staff, however, is excellent, and I wish I could have gotten some names. From the front desk people to those dishing out eggs and bacon to the person cleaning up in the pool area, everyone was friendly and, when needed, helpful. Whoever from the hotel reads this review, please pass on our thanks to them!

This BW is right beside the 101, but I didn’t find that to be a problem, because there’s enough landscaping that you don’t see much of the traffic, and the rooms are all on the far side of the grounds, so I didn’t hear it at all. It’s a really nice campus (as long as you ignore the traffic speeding by just beyond the hedges), with a lot of two-story buildings spread out across the grounds, many with nice porches. In the middle, there’s a pool, trees, winding paths, outdoor seating areas. The room itself was very nice.
I loved the location, because right across the street is an upscale mall that includes quite a few restaurants, including a very good Italian one. The motel offers hot breakfast, which was OK but not impressive. It’s served in a separate building that looks like it used to be a restaurant. The morning I went, the hot part was overcooked scrambled eggs, decent bacon and potatoes, dished up on a paper plate by an unsmiling worker. No toast. There was cereal and fruit you could grab. Seating inside the former restaurant was very well spaced for social distancing, or of course you could eat in one of the nice outdoor seating areas.
It's kind of pricey, but I think for Marin County, it's reasonable.

We chose this Inn as a convenient spot on our trip north and desired a stop north of San Francisco. As it’s near shopping centers that may appeal to guests, but stores are across the highway so not a convenient walk to shopping centers or restaurants.
We had a friendly check in. If I could give a Trip Advisor extra half circle, Christina would get it. The room was good-sized and equipped well with a desk and table. The sink area was outside the bathroom which is always a plus when traveling with someone. Breakfast was quite fine.
There was a refrigerator but no microwave. Buildings were oddly set about the area and ours was in the back behind a non-functional hot tub. Issues included two main lights out in the room and an odd coffee maker located too close to the hair dryer to make one ever want to use it. There was a small slab patio with two chairs that looked out at the parking lot, so… we skipped that experience.

PROS
Friendly, accommodating staff. Best Western is one of the few corporate hotels who is making a real effort to communicate consistently with their customers. They are, from my experience, responsive and responsible. Everyone working at this hotel is to be commended for a job well done, including the manager. They keep the place up, as best they can, and are truly hospitable. Five stars here.
The pool is terrific, though understandably busy on summer weekends. The breakfast has plenty of options and the people working in the breakfast room are saints. The common areas and rooms (we had two) are kept clean and tidy. Not easy as this is a large, five acre compound with lots of rooms. It's also an older property and all that goes with it.
CONS
If you are disabled, keep reading. In spite of offering #ADA rooms, this is likely not the hotel for you. The two #ADA rooms we booked were at the very back of the hotel (Room 134 and 135) as far from the pool and breakfast room as possible. Parking for the rooms is also some distance from the actual rooms themselves and requires you to traverse along narrow corridors, past many rooms opening directly onto your path (and onto you, if you happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time) In front of the so-called #ADA rooms, there are three very steep steps (photos attached) which could be dangerous for disabled persons and guide dogs.
Additionally, the floors in the two rooms mentioned here are uneven, with a jolting hump between the area with the shower and toilet, leading to the outer sink. This is a trip hazard for anyone with mobility issues. The rooms were clearly not designed for disabled people. There was no place for a wheelchair, the furniture was arranged the same way as all the other rooms I saw. And while I noticed some rooms had attractive, wood or lino flooring, our rooms had badly stained carpet no amount cleaning can save.
The only thing that made the rooms suitable for some disabled people is the roll-in shower. Alas, a roll-in shower alone does not make a hotel room fit the disabled. I wish more hotels understood this.

We've stayed at this hotel for over a decade. Hands down one of the best breakfasts if you can nail down a time depending on the day. Prior to the pandemic we found rooms were much cleaner. Following the pandemic the rules for cleaning the rooms changed. We understand the need for a more "hands-off" approach and experienced it at several hotels, but each had a way to communicate this with guests. However, upon arrival the rooms have been noticeably not as clean as prior to the pandemic. Getting the room cleaned during our stay was extremely confusing and difficult. Overall staff were for the most part willing to help again depending on the day and if you get there early enough the breakfast is best value around! Not allergy friendly but plenty to eat.

Great location near the mall and restaurants a crosswalk away. Strong mildew odor in the room. Fortunately we were able to keep the window open even though we were off HWY 101. Quiet. Good lighting in the room. No tub but a nice tight strong shower. I love that hotels are getting rid of the small plastic bottles and putting in containers that I can read without glasses in the shower which one is body wash, shampoo, and conditioner! Beautiful courtyard to sit in. Keurig coffee in the room was great. Breakfast had everything.

Arrived at 3p. Greeted nicely by the staff, but told check in time was 4p so I had to wait. That’s fine. Our room was ready about 20 minutes later. We were given keys and shown on a map where to park and find our room. 2nd floor “pool” view! Lots of parking near our room, but no elevator, you have to lug your suitcase up the carpeted stairs. The room itself was big & vaulted ceilings made it feel bigger. Lots of windows to look out at that pool. But we didn’t. We had a “pool house” view. Lol. Didn’t matter. I didn’t plan on watching the pool anyway. I just thought it was funny they mentioned my pool view at the desk. See photo:)
The good-
Room size
Closet size
Keurig coffee
Windows that open
Big pool area
Nice courtyard
Friendly desk staff
Location
TV has good cable (xfinity)
The not so good-
Teeny bathroom (like the size of a water closet)
Thin walls (listened to my neighbor saw logs all night & I sleep with earplugs!)
A/C system (Better than nothing, but it’s a swamp cooler that is very loud and turns on and off all night. It did drown out the log sawmill but was so loud I took the logs instead)
Bed too soft. Some may like a soft bed. I do not. Hurts my aging back.
The TV is very far from the bed. I have great eyesight and if this is the dedicated tv spot they need a bigger tv.
I’d stay here again if I got a deal. Not worth $400 a night (to me.)

Room pleasant and clean. Staff was friendly, efficient and particularly welcoming. Including breakfast and nice addition. Although daily housekeeping needed to be requested (policy), getting extra coffee, clean towels, and other, easy and staff quickly responsive.

While this property may be outdated in some respects, nevertheless the location is really excellent, right off the 101 and close to San Francisco, conveniently located by a good gas station and a mall that has everything one needs to facilitate their stay. If you have a disability, you'll want to know that there is no elevator going to the upper floor, but staff will accommodate your requests if possible. The property is pleasant, and a bit anachronistic. The very best part of this location is how attentive staff are. They respond quickly to requests; they all bring to your room things you might need; there is enough staff onsite, which matters, given recent staff reductions at other hotel properties.

Gosh, you'd be best off calling the hotel. The staff is really nice and helpful. I'm sure that is not a regular shuttle run, that early, but there's no saying that they wouldn't do it without asking them.
You will need to contact the hotel directly.
