    Parking garage view from dining room entrance with noisy service closet going all the time right by rooms and dining room

    This place is a dump with disgusting rooms, disgusting service and disgusting atmosphere. The hotel is literally falling apart, the furniture is old and worn and disgusting. The carpet is dirty. The front desk staff is incompetent and rude. It's noisy and you can expect mentally ill curses and sex acts screamed at your window all night. I didn't see one tree. Just falling apart doors and filth. I left early it was so gross and loud. I immediately asked for another room and was told to try it for one night because everything booked. It was horrible. left messages and spoke to 3 front desk workers as well as the police. No one cares. Everything booked. Cannot be moved anywhere at all and no refund for a $1200 reservation in a disgusting noisy room. No one here cares at all and they let me know. Then my review posts and all the sudden a very nice clean room is available for one night. I'm desperate for sleep and take it with no other options than drive 8 hours back home with whole family expecting to see our family and have a vacation. I'm hopeful until the incompetent staff calls and wakes the kid and me up an hour after falling asleep and at 9:30 at night to see if we checked in. Wtaf. The incompetent staff cannot serve customer nor communicate with each other so I pay the price with being woken up again by this moronic motel. The hallway of other room is uneven tile and grout and the service cart was super noisy from 6:30-7:30am ruining any chance for morning sleep. Make no mistake-this is not a classy hotel. This is a DUMP MOTEL. All common areas are outside and above the parking garage sharing the same air-including the dining room where the breakfast is. You have to wear a coat everywhere inside and breathe in disgusting car fumes while eating. They try to close it off with a shower curtain. Pathetic cheap dump.

    Wow what an amazing little gem in Mill Valley! We had a great experience staying overnight. Customer service was superb! They had a whole bunch of complimentary goodies ie snacks for kids, small bottle of Champaign and other beverages in the room when we got there! They offered us everything we needed and were super friendly, wanting to ensure we were enjoying ourselves with our 2 kids and we truly did. Enjoyed dining nearby and checking out Old Mill Park and Dipsea stairs just a few min away on foot from the Inn.

    Our room was clean and comfortable. Having said that: This is not a quiet retreat in the redwoods. It is a noisy urban motel directly overlooking a very busy and noisy street, with an array of cars, trucks, early morning street sweepers, slamming car doors, and loud bar and restaurant-goers until late at night. We asked for a quieter room but the hotel did not accommodate us. Further, there are no opening windows--only large doors which lead to a balcony overlooking the street. The room was stuffy and we wanted air. The problem was that it was raining. Because there is no awning, the rain would have come into the room if the doors were at all open.

    A lovely Inn amongst the Redwood tree yet centrally located in town, absolutely perfect in all of the ways! My fiancé surprised me with a weekend getaway in Mill Valley and choose this Inn for us to stay at. From the moment we checked in, I knew our stay would be wonderful because they greeted us with a goodie bag filled with treats(including a freshly baked cookie) and a bottle of wine. Once we headed to our room, we noticed the hotel was neatly intertwined with the Redwood trees, despite being centrally located in Mill Valley and being within walking distance from restaurants, art galleries and coffee shops, I still felt like we had our own price oasis in the woods. Each room has its own patio where you can sit and enjoy wine and conversations and if you have a larger group, there is group seating in the garden. The room itself was large and whimsical and the bathroom even had a soaking tub which is great after a day of hiking Mt. Tam or any other hiking spots the North Bay is home to. In addition to they complimentary welcome bag, they have complimentary breakfast which ranged from quiches, smoked salmon with all the fixings, smoothies and customized latte's made by the staff. It was a relaxing and lovely stay and i definitely plan on returning soon.

    Great boutique hotel, sitting with the Redwoods all around was enjoyable. Large room with a balcony, fireplace. 2 room downsides are the toilets should be ADA height & need Charmin ultra soft TP instead of one ply scratchy TP. Breakfast was sensational, complete with lox, capers, red onion, cream cheeses. Nice local pastries, lots of fresh fruits. 24 hour coffee Wine reception st 5:00 PM, tastefully done. The most accommodating Ass't manager Brian was spot on. Free parking was nice. Mill Valley Inn great place to stay.

    The trees just outside the cottage

    We booked one of the cottages when we were in town for a wedding. The property is absolutely beautiful and the cottage was so quiet and comfortable, although it was slightly on the small side for two adults and two medium size dogs. The parking lot is teeny tiny, so be aware if you have a larger vehicle. The cottage was on the darker side due to being right next to redwood trees, but I didn't mind that at all. The sink in the bathroom was slow to drain which wasn't a big deal, and hopefully it's been fixed after I mentioned it at check out. The breakfast was on the better end of your usual continental breakfast and the staff will make you custom coffee drinks if you don't like the standard drip coffee. Would absolutely stay here again if we find ourselves up in Marin County.

    Evening wine and cheese - very well done.

    The perfect, quaint little inn that feels a million miles away but is walking distance to all the cute shops and good coffee and restaurants in town. It's so lovely to step outside the inn and look up at sometimes snow-topped Mt. Tam. Many (all?) of the rooms have a wood burning stove and they provide a duraflame log, which is such a nice touch and good for people like me who otherwise would not know how to light a fire lol! They also have a tasty complimentary breakfast and relaxing evening reception in a room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking majestic redwoods. Being here reminds me how lucky I am to live in the Bay Area, with all of its natural beauty.

Driving up to the grounds was an experience on its own. Beautiful. We got the chance to check in a bit early and get to our room, The most beautiful room I've stayed in. The views alone were magical. waking up and seeing the Golden Gate Bridge was part of the experience. Spacious rooms with separate shower and big tub to soak in. His and her sinks were a nice touch! Two sided fireplace. We stayed in the rooms not cottages. Breathtaking views. The gentleman at the front desk was friendly and helpful! They have a wine session from 4-6 daily which is a nice touch. Good wine selection. Only downfall- we had requested and confirmed numerous times for champagne and wine for a celebration to be set up in the room as a surprise. That wasn't done and had to contact front feet after getting into our room. Not sure if they forgot or miscommunication? Was confirmed a few times. Grounds itself are beautiful and great for a walk while staying there! You can walk up to the water area for closer views and it's beautiful on a sunny SF stay!

Recommend parking in the private lot upon arrival as the lot does fill up. The lot is enclosed by the motel so parking may be difficult for larger vehicles. My room was in the center structure on the second floor with parking slots underneath. My room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the parking lot. I could see down and check out my car. Bathroom and bedroom were spacious but a bit dated. Bathroom is located on our left with you enter. Closet space and a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker on the right side. No USB or electrical outlet on the bedside table. I used a long USB to charge my phone overnight. Bed was comfortable. One thing I did not spot was an elevator for the second floor. Check in and out was fast and easy. The small office was locked when I checked out, but they have a walk-up window with 24-hour staff. It felt weird to walk up to the window in the dark to check out. For a quick one-night stay, location, cost, and facilities were more than adequate. I would definitely stay here again.

We arrived at West Point Inn around 8:50 AM, 10 minutes before they even started serving pancakes, and the line was incredibly long. We were optimistic about how quickly it would move, and figured we'd probably wait an hour and half. Wrong! We didn't get our pancakes until 12:30 PM, so the wait ended up being 3.5 hours. Luckily, it was a beautiful day, but we were absolutely starving. I think their ordering system could've been a bit more efficient, since the menu options are so limited. They only have plain and blueberry pancakes (I chose blueberry) with a few sides, so having servers running the orders down seemed unnecessary. Cash and Venmo are accepted, but I recommend bringing cash because service up there is unreliable. The pancakes were pretty good, but my favorite part of the experience was easily the hummingbirds! They have several feeders up on the porch, and I'd never seen so many hummingbirds swarming at once. It was beautiful to watch, especially with the San Francisco skyline in the background. Overall, it's a wonderful event in theory, but not worth doing more than once.

They only have this event 6 times a year or so - definitely highly recommend! We woke up super early because parking fills up fast, we arrived around 8:30 am or so and the top parking lot was full. We snagged a spot in the lower lot and it filled up within 10 minutes. It was definitely a hike, the first few miles weren't too steep, but the last mile I was fighting for my life. But once we were there, we hopped in line - which looked long, but it all moved quickly. All the volunteers working there were so friendly and warm. We ordered the pancake breakfast with sausage, and some coffee and hard boiled eggs. Definitely an experience! Glad I could check this off my bucket list! Eating pancakes in the mountains above the clouds will be a fond memory. 10/10 highly recommend!
