My friend and I were headed to Muir Woods and wanted a cheaper place to stay outside San Francisco that was still convenient to our destination. This fit the bill. The room was clean and the wifi was fast. The breakfast array was really good, not just wrapped pastries and juice but a waffle iron, toaster, etc. The beds were comfy - I remember sleeping well. The pool and jacuzzi looked clean and inviting but we didn't end up using it. Would recommend.

We stayed here 3 nights. We needed an affordable place to stay. We walked in with no reservations and payed about $75 with taxes for 2 Queen beds. Very affordable considering similar hotels in the Novato/San Rafael area. We spent all day everyday out of the room. We generally always stay at a Days Inn when traveling.

PROS: We were given a room in the back facing the garden and pool area, with hills behind us. We did not hear any freeway noise from there. We found the staff super friendly. The kids always are happy with the free breakfast. Waffles, poptarts, juice. There was adequate TV channels. Bathroom was OK with a bath tub. Good WiFi signal.

CONS: The beds were horrible. We usually stay at Days Inns when we travel and these beds were really awful in comparison to others in the chain. One of them was lopsided.
The carpet was very old and stained. We were warned about this upon check in. We noticed new rolls of carpet waiting to be installed near our room. I think we would have gotten a better nights sleep camping at Samuel P Taylor park....the overall feel of cleanliness was affected by the dirty carpet and awful beds. The beds also had old, flat pillows, old warn blankets and bedspreads. Again, not up to the standards of the Days Inns we have stayed at in Portland and Seattle....Also the pool was dirty and unheated. The hot tub was questionable. Although my kids did use it.

Bottom Line: Expect cheap and basic....for Marin anyway. Bring your own pillows and blankets...we did (thank goodness)

when looking at some of the reviews for this Days Inn I noted that most were old dates, and was hoping that the the quality had come up to a good standard. And I was pleasantly surprised. Although the property is not new, I found it to be clean, and thats important to me. The room was clean, roomy, and quiet. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The free continental breakfast was very adequate and well stocked. There was ample parking right outside the room. The pool/hot tub area was in the middle of the courtyard, and easily accessible. I would stay here again without a second thought.

The hotel is as described on some of the other posts. One star basic room. Clean but is showing its age. The staff was very nice. Didnt get a chance to try the food. Make sure to ask for a room in the back otherwise you'll hear the freeway. I'd stay here again if nothing better was available (which was this case since I didnt want to pay $100+ or travel 30 miles).
