A shot of one of the rooms.
Arvey S.

A friend happened to be visiting the area and got a room at this place and I happen to live in San Francisco so he offered the second bed in the room so I wouldn't have to cross the bridge after we did our day tours in the area. I'm a casual traveler and drive to a lot of places in California and I was pleasantly surprised at how well maintained this place was. It was clean, rooms were updated and the bedding was more than satisfactory. For convenience, this place is right off Highway 101, so if you're passing through this town and need an overnight place, this place is ideal. It is also near Sausalito and is right in Mill Valley, so it's close to essential shops, businesses and there are tons of restaurants nearby. This place is pretty awesome for a roadside motel.

If I could give it zero stars I would but you have to unfortunately give it at least one star. This place is an absolute hell hole do not stay here. I checked in about 4am I just got off of work. This room was booked for us by our company. When I checked in the lady up front gave me my room key and said "if there is anything wrong with your room I'll switch you in the morning" so I ask her "what's wrong with the room?" And she said "nothing" well now I know why she said that. From mold to cockroaches and stains everywhere to holes on the sheets and anything you can honestly think of. There was smashed cockroaches all over the microwave even on the inside. I left as soon as I seen all this. I don't understand how these places are even open. They need to be shut down this is disgusting. If they allow all of that to be shown I don't even wanna know what else they do. Probably not even wash the sheets cause they don't clean anything else. I'm glad I left. But for real DO NOT STAY HERE. You might catch something here. Do not waste your money. You are close to so much more stuff make the drive and find something better.

We came to our room on the first floor (Room 111) and we were actually blown away by the size and space. It's quite simple and cute. I come to this area often and was convinced I found a place I can stay regularly. The bathroom is extremely small but again simple room. No frills. I am not sure I'd stay here again though after the experience tonight. We've had someone above us walking around constantly and it is incredibly loud. We can't sleep. The noise is awful. I'd say next time get a second floor room but I'd feel terrible doing this to someone below me. This person above our room hasn't stopped moving and is banging stuff around after 11pm. It's almost like they've been moving furniture and are in hiking boots the walking is so pronounced. Impossible to sleep. We also were very grossed out by the fridge. It hasn't been cleaned out at all. When stuff like that looks this way it makes you wonder if everything else is being cleaned properly. I guess if you're looking for a somewhat budget friendly hotel and can sleep like the dead this may be a fit for you. But being in town for an important event tomorrow and needing to actually sleep it's just not worth it to me due to the noise. Thin walls and thin hardwood floors unfortunately.

Overlooking all of San Francisco !

Location is amazing ! Our check in was 20 seconds! The price was super duper great! The room is spacious and mostly clean. Air works very good. The location is literally just past the Golden Gate Bridge ! The restaurant across the street is fantastic and then we went to Muir Woods monument (7 miles away) and on the drive there was an amazing spot to see all of San Francisco! Crazy cool !

Roaches

If you don't mind roaches then this is the perfect place as the roaches where out and about. We would have canceled sooner, had we seen them during the day but these little guys decided to make their grand appearance after hours. Started packing our bags ASAP for the fear they'd make their way home with us. Was too afraid to check for bed bugs, luckily we didn't wake up with visible bits. Besides the roaches the rooms themselves are in terrible shape. We ended up canceling the remainder of our days. This did put a damper on our schedule but luckily Hotels.Com was able to assist us and move us to a clean hotel.

Parking literally at your door

On a recent trip through the area I was just looking for a place to pull off for the night and stumbled upon this cool old school motel which is being renovated and newly upgraded rooms. This motel literally sits at the intersection of the 101 and 1 exchange on the southwest side of the highway. Road noise is definitely an issue if you're a light sleeper, it did subside after about 10 pm but was a constant muffled rumble in the background. This does also make for easy on and off while traveling though and for my purposes it was a good rest and a decent spot to start my next morning with. This is a good option for the area and inexpensive for the area - this is a mom and pop motel and not a fancy chain. Better than some and not as good as others. A good 3 Star motel 00639

Mold/mildew on inside shower curtain!

I normally don't write reviews especially bad ones. But this one I definitely had to. I checked into this hotel for one night as I was there on business. Had it not been late and I wasn't exhausted I would have left immediately. However I didn't have that opportunity. I know others had an okay experience, however the room that I got was horrible! Again, I don't normally complain but this was just gross! I would suggest staying somewhere else ! If you don't have a choice , check out the room prior to checking into it!!! I will NOT stay there again.

This is sugar or something that's going to bring bugs FOR SURE

See all

How many bugs can I expect to find in my room?

The place was pretty rough-looking, but I found no bugs on my one night stay. It was rough, but clean.

Finally got up here for the viral Pancake Hike! While I love the concept, this was probably a…read moreone-time experience for me. 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.

We hiked up here for the views and famous pancake breakfast and it did not disappoint. I've been…read morewanting to come here for years! 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!

If you're looking for a relaxing getaway and want to be surrounded by luxury and beautiful ocean…read moreviews, this is the place to stay. We come to Sausalito at least once a year and always stay at the Inn Above Tide. It's located on the waterfront and each room has the perfect view of the ocean, looking out towards the city of San Francisco and the San Francisco Bay Bridge. All the rooms have their own private deck where you can relax with a glass of wine or champagne and take in the beautiful views of the city of San Francisco. All the shops and restaurants on Bridgeway St. are within walking distance of the Inn. It is also right next to the Ferry where you can purchase tickets for a ride into San Francisco. When you arrive, you are greeted at the gate of their private parking lot, where your car is safely stored during your stay. Check-in is always easy and all the staff are extremely accommodating and friendly. They offer a Continental breakfast that is served buffet-style in their Drawing Room or you can have your breakfast delivered to your room for a $5 fee. Every evening from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. they have wine, cheeses, crackers, and fresh fruit for all guests in their Drawing Room. You can also arrange to have this delivered to your room as well. When we arrived to our suite, they had a lovely anniversary surprise waiting for us inside. They had a silver tray on our table, with a white rose, a bottle of champagne, a box of Napa Valley chocolates, and a lovely card to welcome us. When we booked our stay, for this trip, we chose the City Lights Suite. The inside of the suite is beautiful, luxurious, immaculate, and very spacious. The bed was very comfortable. I have an allergy to feathers. They made sure our pillows and bedding did not contain any down feathers. They had fresh, gorgeous orchids in the main part of the suite as well as the en suite bathroom. If you want to watch a movie, they have a huge catalog of DVDs, you can pick from, to watch in your room. They really go above and beyond to make your stay an unforgettable experience. That's why we always come back. I want to especially thank all the staff for making us feel welcome and making our stay extra special.

This is our favorite hotel in California for sure. If you…read morecan think of it they will deliver it. Couldn't ask for anything more. Wake up right over the water with your own private deck. Staff is amazing . Great restaurants walking distance away with ferry to SF steps out your door . Just go and thank me later!
