The breakfast was very nice considering it was a complimentary hotel breakfast. It was pancakes, potatoes, eggs, muffins, fruit, sausage, juice. It was very easy to get things and help was always nearby.

Room was nice and clean. Very spacioius. Staff super friendly. Close to everything. No problems with request for a later check out. Breakfast and Dinner menu items were fantastic considering not a regular full fledge restaurant. I HIGHLY recommend the French Toast with Strawberries and the Avocado Toast...both very well done in Bistro style. TV in the room is GIANT for a hotel. Rates for weeknight not bad either for the area.

This is more than a hotel, it is an experience. The moment you step inside you leave the rolling California hills and are transported to an idealized French escape only found in cinema. Your romanticized stay is then enhanced by the fresh morning crepes, pastries, and drip coffee. Simply put, it is rare to find places like this anymore, and I will certainly be returning every time I am in the area.

The property was very well maintained. The staff were great and always happy to help us. The pool and outdoor sitting areas were very nice. It is next to a small shopping area with lots of shops which was great. The ferry to San Francisco is less than 2 minutes away. It was less than 20 minutes to drive to San Francisco and less than 30 minutes to Sonoma. It was the perfect location for our trip.
This all-suite Corte Madera hotel features an outdoor, 10-person whirlpool, and suites with a 42-inch flat-screen TV. The Golden Gate Bridge is a 15-minute drive away.
Novato is a quiet suburb north of San Francisco. It is mainly a working class town with a few enclaves of expensive large houses on acreage lots. There is also an area of large rural properties where horses are popular as well as other barnyard animals.
Access to the ocean is via Novato Blvd. ( a central street running through the center of town ); following Novato Blvd. west is a beautiful 45 minute drive to the town of Point Reyes Station and the Pacific Ocean beaches just beyond (10 minute drive further west).
Lovely visitor friendly beaches and hiking areas. Local shops & good restaurants, a bakery, a grocery store are all available in the town of Point Reyes Station if you take the ride to the ocean

This hotel is a great value!
This hotel is a great value! It's not fancy but it's clean and they are working at updating the rooms. It's close to Point Reyes National Seashore, Muir Woods and downtown San Francisco but it's far enough away that it feels safe and it's very affordable. There wasn't much for breakfast but the breakfasts aren't great even at the hotels that have a lot of offerings for breakfast. We ended up stopping to eat at the Marin French Cheese Co. and highly recommend it.

It's a small town surrounded by hills and beautiful landscapes. It's full of Ma and Pa's businesses. It's relaxing. Sit at the lounge and have a coffee, You'll feel that time just stopped. It's laid back and in contrast to a crowded San Francisco, just 30-minute drive. Proximity to vineyards and wineries.

Perfect for those who don't want to be in the city but convenient enough to visit to San Francisco. And convenient to visit the wine country of Sonoma and Napa Valley and go a little further north to see the tall redwoods forest.

This stay was rather pricey.
This stay was rather pricey. Although clean and generally acceptable, there was only a very basic room/facilities.
On the positive side, breakfast was nice with many options. Restaurant next door, Perry's, was really fun and we went twice.

An interesting downtown area.
An interesting downtown area. Met some very nice and helpful folks. Was disappointed that the American Indian Museum was closed but no advance notice of same. That was my primary reason for visiting the town. Apparently they are remodeling. I found the Novato Historical Museum instead. Talked with several helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staffers. Two ladies recommended a good place for dinner, Grazies, which was very good.
A “happening” downtown on Saturday night. Felt safe walking from and back to my car for dinner.
Safe well-lit parking lot, clean updated rooms with quality construction, good wifi, safe location and hotel for single woman traveler. Breakfast buffet had good options, there was an outdoor pool, a reading nook with books to borrow, and computers for printing out boarding pass. This was nicer than a usual Best Western in my opinion. Easy on-off to 101. Good pillows, good room temp, good bed! Very pleased. Nice sized fridge in the room as well.
The bed was very comfortable. The room was very clean and quiet. The area is residential so great for walking. There were also stores nearby for anything we forgot. The hotel is convenient to the highway and has a lovely feel to it. It also feels safe. The restaurant (Ricky's) is fantastic, too. Delicious food at reasonable prices. If you don't eat there, you're missing something.
I called to ask what time check in was before arriving & the front desk man yelled at me and then hung up on me. He was very rude when we came to check in. The room smelt like smoke when we arrived. Smelt really bad. We had no choice but to stay because no other hotels were available and we had a wedding to attend. Would not recommend to anyone unless they absolutely had to.
I really like this house . The area is very peaceful and the house is very spacious . You get to experience wild life saw different animals like turkeys . Deers and raccoon my family really love the open nature this house was great love the scenic views
View from room overlooking open space, hills, forest was pleasant and calming. Very little car traffic on road next to hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy access to highway and downtown Novato (even by foot).
Location was everything, we spent one day in Novato and another in San Francisco. Laying out by the pool was great and we liked that the room had a sliding glass door right off the pool.
I have no complaints. This is my favorite hotel to stay at. I love the yard area in the middle of the hotel, and you can actually use the hot tub that they advertise.
Property much nicer than I expected for a Best Western and front desk staff was super friendly and helpful and attentive which is more than I can say for Sheraton.
I loved this hotel. My room was spacious, and the staff were wonderful! I was able to jog to a hiking trail, and even had a bit of a view from my room.
