Excellent service from the manager and host Zachariah, who educated me about the area, gracefully handled my needs prior to checking in and also has a fantastic personality anyone can resonate with. The room was clean, huge, and very accommodating for my luxurious stay at Gables. Give it a week, you won't regret it.

We stayed one night here on our way back to San Francisco. The location of the hotel is great. The condition of the hotel, not so much. The outdoor patio looked like it hadn't been swept in quite a while. And it should be stated this is a shared space where enough walk to a door in your room through a space where you also share a coffee pot(huh?) To get to the ice machine you must walk to the main entrance, go down stairs and it is located through a door in a storage closet. The room was okay and it appears bathrooms were updated a few years ago. Happy we weren't staying any longer.

My husband and I had a wonderful, memorable stay at the Gables Inn. We were there for the first night of our honeymoon in November and the staff went the extra mile to make our stay special. We arrived in San Francisco in the morning and they were able to check us in early, which was greatly appreciated. They made us feel so welcomed and safe and offered a lot of recommendations when we asked. The room we stayed in was very clean which is also important to note. They were very accommodating and held our bags when we checked out. Because of this, we were able to stick around the neighborhood for longer and have a delicious lunch and cocktails before our next flight. You truly can't beat the location at the Gables Inn. Everything is so walkable and it's the perfect place for a weekend getaway.

Hide a bed mattress was thin with big divets.

The hotel is in a good location for walking around town. There is construction out front and no parking. We were given a pass for the public lot a couple blocks away. There is no one onsite to help resolve issues. You coordinate check-in and then haul your luggage up the stairs. No elevator. We were in room 304. We had trouble getting back into our building after dinner. Neither key card worked. No one answered the phone. We finally got in and the issue was the doorframe was cracked and stuck. There was no breakfast or services, likely Covid. The room was in the top 3 of the worst places I've stayed. It's literally falling apart. Everything seemed dirty. See captions on photos. I can't believe this was $333 per night. There was another room on the 3rd floor that we were told was as bad as ours. I can't see how anyone could give more than a star. Basically we paid more to get a second bed which wasn't usable. Questionable wiring with the lighting coming on and off randomly, the fridge cabinet was so hot I was worried about an electrical fire, the window latches were broken and wouldn't latch (hello bugs), no AC, no screens, the curtains/blinds were stained and torn, the tv did not work, the couch smelled, it's almost comical. I definitely can't recommend.

There was a great fireplace that kept us warm, and we quite enjoyed the wine and cheese hour every evening!

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.

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.

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! Thank you for an amazing stay Cavallo Point!

The "spa" is literally the locker room and a steam room plus bathroom stalls and that's it. There are several other day spas in Marin with way better facilities, more diverse services with high availability and set up by comparison. Wouldn't come back here because the price point isn't warranted, felt like a tourist trap.

The deep tissue massage I got was very good. Can't say it was the best I've ever had but definitely not the worst. Just don't expect it to be as big or grand as a five star resort or anything. It's located in the boutique style hotel which has been there for ages. It's small, yet nicely appointed. The staff were great, rooms were quiet. I enjoyed the outdoor lounge area. The rest of the place isn't much to see. There was one loud group of guys making noise/laughing loudly for a while down the steps from the lounges. Not sure if they were employees of the hotel or guests but it stopped after 10 minutes or so. With tight quarters you can't do much about that. The men's locker room was meh, clean, but small and kind of rank smelling like a local YMCA or something. Think that's due to it being so small and having a steam room, there's not great ventilation. Also thought it wasn't good that the urinals were so close to the sinks. Shower pressure not great. Parking is a bit tricky being downtown Sausalito. They give you a free parking pass if you go out and get it. Wish they'd email it to you ahead of time to be more convenient. Overall, it's ok and I may return under the right circumstances but I do prefer a more spacious type of spa with more amenities.

Exceptionally clean, friendly staff…read more I stayed for two nights while visiting family in Tiburon and learned not to judge a hotel by first impressions. The outside of the hotel raised my eyebrows, but once I got into the room, I was shocked at how clean it was. Not a single stain, hair, or grubby fingerprint was in sight. This is literally how I want every room in every hotel to be. The staff were friendly at check-in. The hotel offers breakfast, coffee, and a small fridge with beverages (beer) and frozen meals. Note: the local town seems to shut down at 9:00 p.m. every night, which is good for quietness but bad if you want a late-night bite. Cons: the building didn't seem well secured. It felt like anyone from the streets could access the outdoor stairs to guests' rooms. Definitely double-bolt your door and don't open it to strangers here. That being said the town itself seems very safe and well policed. The shower lacked water pressure, and the pillow / bed wasn't the most comfortable, tbh. I'd recommend this hotel if you need to stay in Tiburon for a couple of nights (cleanliness is my most heavily weighted hotel criterion, personally). It's not luxury, but it's clean and much more affordable than other spots in the immediate area. I will say though, for maybe a net 50-100 more per night, I stayed at the St. Regis SF (Forbes 5-star), so if you have the ability to stay in the city, you may get more bang for the buck.

Great walking location to shops, restaurants, grocery store and walking trail. Friendly staff…read more Rooms need a refresh.
