Couldn't sleep until the rooftop bar closed. Room 518 is right above where the bartenders walk…read more Was listening to incessant rumbling, footsteps, wheels rolling. Tons of noise from the hallway - heard every perso going to their rooms. Decor is spartan - utilitarian chic - no microwave, mattress sagged and felt cheap. I'm local and I've been to the rooftop bar several times - hurricane force winds all the time, not a place you'd really want to hang out for a long time. Signed up for Bonvoy because of the $400 eGift card which was applied to my prospective room before I booked with an itemized breakdown. After booking, it reads that Bonvoy DOES NOT apply the gift card to my first booking - deceptive. It's the newest hotel in San Rafael, but it's substandard.

The downside seems to be more of construction errors. The door had wide gaps on all sides, we had to push a blanket under the bottom due to about a half inch gap. The sides of the door gaps were large enough the light would come through when cars pulled up with their headlights on. Like previously listed, there is no closet space to hang clothes, but they do provide an iron and ironing board. The absolute worst part of our stay is how horribly thin the walls are. They might as well just have a sheet up between the different rooms. You can hear everything happening in the wall sharing rooms, and I mean EVERYTHING. You could even hear just footsteps, and this is a single story motel. Overall, I would stay here again in a pinch, but it won't be at the top of my list to visit again.

The guy I spoke to took my reservation. I was going to bring my dog but decided not too. I called and left 2 messages to please take pet deposit off my bill. I never got a hold of anyone and never recieved a return call. Here is where it got even more upsetting I arrived and there was no key left for me. I finally got a hold of someone and they arranged for the housekeeper to let me in my room. The women I spoke to said Id get a refund on my credit card and the Chief who took my reservation would take care of this. She also informed me that the Chief I spoke to claimed he does not remember our phone conversation and that he thought the reservation was for following week, untrue as I had email to prove the date. Well here I am at week 2 and no refund for pet. Honestly, at this point ill never stay here again due to this and I just want to warn warn people its defintly not run well at all since they changed management.

The best part was coming back to the hotel after exploring the area to freshly baked warm cookies. The smell was all over the hotel. The hotel is clean, has a dock on the second floor to enjoy the beautiful views. Watch the sunrise and the sunset from this spot. It's magical. They have bikes you can borrow to explore the little town. It was raining on and off and they provided us with umbrellas. The customer service was great, friendly and helpful staff. We had a great experience with staff... Malibu Farm is next door so you can treat yourself with the most delicious food at the restaurant or have your morning coffee and pastries in their coffee shop. There are many nice places to eat within a minute or two walk. Overall I'm soooo happy with our stay here and really can't wait to come back.

My daughter and husband have been taking horsemanship lessons with Karin for 4 years. Karin is…read moreincredibly knowledgeable about horses, as well as dogs and also has great advice for humans as well! We couldn't be happier with the horsemanship lessons. She has been such a great mentor to my daughter as many of the leadership lessons with horses are so very applicable for a young girl's life lessons. For a young girl to have the confidence to lead these horses - it's just so amazing to witness. Recently we decided to take a staycation at her lovely home and rented out a couple of rooms for us for the weekend. Karin was such an amazing hostess from the very beginning when we got there, to the lavish exit from her property, as she had both her dogs positioned on either side of the gate at the end of her driveway as a send off. We stayed in a beautiful room with incredible views of the Nicasio reservoir. This is a must stay place for any photographer, bird lover, horse lover. It felt like we were completely in a different country, when we were only a 20 minute drive to our home. Karin made us an amazing breakfast each morning, while overlooking the reservoir, watching pelicans, falcons, and yes...bald eagles flying overhead! How incredible! Her house has several rooms to rent, and she also has a treehouse, which my daughter stayed in with her friend. They had a blast. A great skylight above the bed to stargaze. One night we enjoyed dinner at her outdoor 'cantina'. During the day, dipping our toes in the beautiful pool. The kids enjoyed chasing the little lizards that basked in the sun. We brought our dog who had probably the most fun of us all. Finally, a place where a dog can actually be a dog! Did I mention Karin is a fabulous dog trainer as well? Thank you so much for such a fabulous weekend that we will cherish always, Karin!

I would HIGHLY recommend the experience of being with these majestic horses that roam the 35 acres freely eating grass. The property is stunning, it feels like you're in Europe amidst the green rolling hills and Karin is also a phenomenal chef. She makes the worlds fluffiest omelettes for breakfast and incredibly authentic Danish dinners as well. It was so much more than a vacation for us, we will remember the things we learned here for a lifetime.

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.
