    Enjoying BBQ oysters on the coast
    Macfarlane G.

    I recently spent six nights at the Fairfax Inn and loved it. Very clean, big rooms. It's located right downtown where all the fabulous restaurants and live music clubs are. Even though it's so close to the action it's very quite, I was never disturbed by any outside noise. I was there during the most recent 6.1 earthquake and there was no added charge for the early morning ride and excitement. I survived just fine. Everything about this place worked for me. Very comfortable bed, super large tub, big towels, TV and a very nice light breakfast consisting of juice, coffee, toast, buns and so on. The host, Jay Raman was very nice and very accommodating. I enjoyed the place so I extended two more nights and will most def be going back. Also I found Fairfax to be a little jewel. My passions were great place to stay, great resturant options and cycling. It was epic.

    Location, location, location. Right in the middle of downtown Fairfax. Park your car in the Inn's ample parking and forget it. Proprietress made booking and checking in a breeze. Vaulted ceilings and whirlpool tube make the room particularly inviting. Went out for brunch, so next time I'll have to try the Inn's continental breakfast.

You wouldn't expect an old saloon way out in Bolinas to have such delicious, fresh Mexican food, but they do! Not only were the burritos and tacos delicious, but the pico, the guac, the green AND red salsas were all basically perfect - fresh, delicious, not too spicy, the exact flavor profile I want from each one! Seriously, the tangy green sauce was delicious and barely spicy, while the red sauce was just spicy enough and had a ton of that smokey flavor that makes it so good! And those THICK, crunchy, salty chips - those are the exact right chips! They also have a great drink selection, and I'll probably come back sometime for lunch so I have an excuse to try their local coffee and breakfast cocktails. Also worth mentioning that if you drive another 100 feet down the road, the ocean is right there.

The small cups (about 1 cup) were half filled with spanish rice, the other cup half filled with black beans. HALF-filled. Our fish tacos had a very small portion of fish with a smattering of cabbage. I'm not one to complain about portions, but this is one review I have to write - portions were measly for $39. Thought I received a kids meal. This is a cool place to visit - maybe just have a drink, because the food is just not all there - literally.

Nestled in the cute little town of San Anselmo, you can walk to nearby shops, or you are a short drive away from forestry features such as redwoods and fragrant pines, as well as the Pacific Ocean. Built in 1926, this hotel has original wainscoting in some rooms and hallways that whisper of times gone by if you stop to listen. The breakfast on weekends is comparable to any 5 star hotel with homemade meat and vegetarian quiches, sausage, bacon, potatoes, and an array of breads. Even on the weekdays, the offerings are plenty with incredible croissants, muffins and bagels as well as yogurt and granola and any combination of breads for your toast, as well a fresh fruit. You can eat inside sitting in front of a fireplace or even better, take your plate to the beautiful outdoor garden area with water features and greenery. The GM is always available for any questions you may have or a friendly conversation. The booking agency that I used did not contact him regarding my request for a handicapped room because I was traveling with my sister who is in a wheelchair. When I arrived and saw that I was booked upstairs I contacted him and he changed our room immediately even before she arrived , as well as offering to bring all of my things downstairs for me. Our stay was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this place!

The good: easy to make reservations and arrangements were clear. The Inn is convenient and clean. It is charming and has some very lovely touches that you would never get in a hotel. Parking is easy and reasonable ($10 per day). The beds are comfortable and supportive--a key element as my friend has had extensive back surgery. And, breakfast is included and served on the lovely patio. When my cousins came to visit, I had them stay at the Inn. They raved about the breakfast! My friends raved about the great lighting in the bathroom. What to expect: there is no elevator and you have to carry your bags up a staircase that can be challenging if you have much large or heavy luggage. The floors are not completely even in all rooms. Some are just a little bit off and are carpeted. It's easy to trip over the change in floor level, as there is no marking. Nice surprise: there is a cut in the wall to show the original knob and tube wiring. It's got a plexiglass cover. But the preservation of history and education is a lovely idea.

Our day started with brunch, which blew us away. The service was calm and intentional, a great start to the day. It was hot out, but the misters kept us cool. We both participated in the Pick your own bouquet at $35. It came with a tall vase to fill, someone to explain the floral do's and dont's of the field, and a pair of shears to borrow for your duty. The paths between the flowers are dirt and grass, so bear in mind your footwear and attire when booking! This would be a perfect spot for families. Overall an incredible experience, being able to even walk the grounds was enough to make a good day, great.

The server told us they operate out of a food truck. So the menu is limited. But what they make is really good! We ordered the lemonade, chicken and waffles, huevos rancheros divorciados, and the strawberry champagne sherbet. Service was very prompt! The actual menu in-person had a couple items that aren't on the sample menu including a couple more dessert options like fig ice cream. We really liked everything we tried! The portions were pretty good. If coming here for food I'd recommend getting here early since food trucks have limited capacity. You're welcome to stroll around the property both the flower farm and the inn side before or after your meal. The parking situation is a gravel lot. So it may not be the most handicap accessible place. We had a lot of fun stopping by Park Winters. They were setting up for a wedding so the inn side would have been closed for the event starting at 1pm. The check also came with a small map of the property for you to keep. This was very helpful in exploring the property. The only caveat is this is the countryside. Wear long pants or be prepared with insect repellent! Even at 10am in the summer my legs were bitten by mosquitoes. (Type O blood. Mosquito magnet here.) I'd like if they burned some citronella candles to help with mosquitoes. The rest of the dining venue was so thoughtfully designed including timed misters (like at theme parks) to help keep the area cool. Definitely check it out if you're curious or in the area.

Daily cleaning is a treat with many hotels skipping days now. The restaurant is convenient for dinner and offers a very nice breakfast included with your stays.

I stopped by for the free happy hour and they had drinks, chips, salsa, pretzels, peanut butter, veggies, and dip. It was a nice way to unwind after a long day. The breakfast was also free, and included things like oatmeal, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, fruit, yogurt, and toast. Juice, coffee, and tea too! It was a really great stay, and I hope to be back.

The space was clean and comfortable, and the room large and spacious. I had a king room which came equipped with the bed, a couch, desk, mini fridge, and microwave. The parking lot was nice and large, and finding a spot close to the main entrance was easy, though there is a slight hill to get up to the front. A continental breakfast buffet was included, and it was surprisingly good for a free hotel breakfast. It included pancakes, breakfast sausage, eggs, breads and pastries, cereal, fruit, and a few other items. When I checked in I was assigned a room that unfortunately smelled like cigarette, I immediately went down to the desk and they were able to switch me into another room that didn't.
