Practical for a wedding we attended. It also avoids having to drive into Santa Rosa after dancing all night. The hotel is a historic building and therefore won't have modern amenities. Those include no elevator, air conditioning, phones in room, no smart TVs. Our room was large (we stayed in room 5) with two queen beds. It also had a mini fridge and small flat screen with cable. The bathroom was immaculately clean. Shower looks like recently regrouted. I don't care for carpet in hotel rooms but it was clean and vacuumed. No stains. Also white sheets looked clean and in good shape. The front desk was friendly. They do offer a coffee station for guests on the second floor hallway. It's close to the cute restaurants and general store. Convenient parking in the back of hotel. All in all a clean and does the job hotel room.

There were some definite highlights to our visit, but also a few areas where the experience could…read morebe improved. The hot tub was fantastic and clean, and the pool and sauna were also well maintained. The outdoor music was great and created a nice atmosphere. However, the overall upkeep of the property could use more attention. There were dishes and glasses left sitting around, and I ended up bringing some back to Drake's myself because they were an eyesore. More frequent cleanup and attention to the common areas would make a noticeable difference. The porches also need some maintenance or refurbishment, as two people ended up getting splinters from them. At the Lounge restaurant, the lighting was too bright for a relaxing dining atmosphere. Some background music indoors would also help soften the sound of conversations and create a more inviting ambiance, especially since the outdoor music was so enjoyable. My sea bass or black cod was cooked nicely, but the overall dish was disappointing. The soupy bean sauce with fish on top didn't work particularly well, and the dish could have benefited from a vegetable or a more complementary starch rather than the heavy, soup-like combination. The mussels were overcooked and rubbery, and the fries didn't taste fresh. Staffing also seemed inadequate for a Saturday night, with only two people covering both indoor and outdoor areas. This meant waiting a long time for everything, but Daisy did her best. Drinks from the bar were great too. The bartender (blonde woman) was lovely and makes a great Negroni. Overall, there are some genuinely wonderful amenities here, particularly the clean pool, sauna, and hot tub. With better maintenance, more attentive housekeeping, improved restaurant execution, and adequate staffing, the experience could be better. There is a lot to like, but details matter and deserve attention too. I'll still come back, but hope they read this and consider the above. Enjoy!

Without looking at Yelp, I was told that hotels and motels were limited in the area and fill up quickly on weekends. On a gamble, I was able to book reservations for Thursday through Sunday stay the Tomales Hotel, the little town of Tamales To my surprise, there are no lobby and individuals in charge. You provided a code via email or phone, and different code for your room. These locks are touchy and nothing like the run of the mill combination locks. I was able, per one of the housekeepers who let me in a few hours before check in. There were three (3) house keepers who were unbelievably kind and running ata hundred miles an hour. This hotel has been remodeled that would make any proud. Clean neat as pin. Roomy, and all the pillows you could want and mattress to die for. Absolutely Awesome place. Bob - Sacramento, CA

The innkeeper, Bob, greeted us in person when we arrived around 11:30pm; He personally showed us to our room and calmly described how ordering breakfast worked, gave us wifi credentials, and then let us relax. If you're looking for upscale luxury, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for an exceptionally clean, cozy, and well run B&B than look no further. You're staying in a tranquil, untroubled place that persuades you to decompress and clear your mind. Notable Amenities: - WiFi - Feminine products in the bathroom - Novels and light music - Fireplace - Continental breakfast - Binoculars - Hiking backpack - Mini refrigerator What is provided to you promotes relaxation and exploring your surroundings. We spent our mornings in the room eating breakfast, listening to Claude Debussy and watching the mist clear over the bay. We then headed out to go kayaking all day, had oysters and champagne for dinner, then retreated back to the B&B to cozy up in front of the fire. *Note About Breakfast* Breakfast is brought to your room and includes the following: tea, orange juice, and an assortment of breads (blueberry, coffee, pumpkin, poppyseed, etc.) *Note About Your Surroundings* You are near a few restaurants, and a light breakfast is provided, otherwise not much is around. I would suggest bringing some fruits/veggies and other light snacks when you are out during the day.

We really wanted to love our stay because the property and setting are beautiful. Unfortunately,…read morethe experience didn't come close to justifying the $600+ per night price tag. The biggest issues: * The rooms are not well insulated. - We could clearly hear normal conversations and footsteps from the room above us. The guests weren't being loud or inconsiderate. The building simply doesn't block sound well. We were woken up multiple times during the night and again early in the morning by people coming home or leaving. * The room felt run down and poorly maintained - There was mildew or mold all on the lower half of the living room curtains, dirt built up in the window sills, cobwebs around the ceiling and skylights, and obvious damage from an old skylight leak with warped, peeling paint that had never been properly repaired. * Missed simple towel requests - Our DELUX KING room came with only TWO bath towels and two hand towels. We politely asked for a few extra towels the first morning there. When we came back that afternoon, the towels had been replaced, but there were still only two bath towels and two hand towels, once again:( we had to walk down to the front desk building and ask for 2 more towels to bring back so we could both shower. * The pillows were dirty and smelled strongly of mildew - They had that unmistakable damp, musty smell like they'd been left wet for a long time. Since we arrived late the first night, we waited and asked the front desk the next AM if they could swap them out. Instead, they simply changed the pillowcases and left the same pillows. We ended up grabbing blankets from our car to wrap around them so we didn't have to smell them while we slept. That should never happen at any price point. It's just baseline to have clean bedding. * Grounds maintenance was poorly timed - On our first afternoon, the grounds crew was mowing with a ride-on mower that wasn't collecting the grass. They drove right up against our deck, covering the patio and lounge chairs with grass and dust. We had the sliding door open, so the debris blew straight into our room. We mentioned it to the front desk on our way out and asked if someone could sweep off the deck. They seemed surprised the mowing was happening on a Friday, which is one of the biggest check-in days. * We also woke up to pressure washing - Early Friday morning, we were greeted by the sound of the building next to ours being pressure washed. It seems like the kind of maintenance that could easily be scheduled during the middle of the week instead of during a busy check-in day. * Sub par restaurant experience - We had dinner at the restaurant our first night with a 6:45 reservation. We were seated on time, but no one came by to even take a drink order for about 20 minutes. We were told they were understaffed. Our food order wasn't taken until around 7:45, about an hour after we had been seated. When we finished dinner, we were immediately offered the check. We asked if there was dessert, and our server said, "Yes, it just hasn't been popular tonight." Our bill was around $250, so it was pretty clear we had come to enjoy a nice dinner, not just grab a quick bite. It felt like a missed opportunity to simply ask if we'd like to see the dessert menu or enjoy another course before ending the meal. I did appreciate seeing the GM helping bus tables during a busy service. That said, I was surprised to see him doing it in flip-flops, which didn't feel appropriate in a restaurant. I work in hospitality, so I understand that staffing challenges happen. But most of what we experienced didn't feel like a staffing issue. It felt like a lack of attention to maintenance, housekeeping, scheduling, and overall operations. The property has so much potential because the location is fantastic. Unfortunately, the guest experience simply doesn't match the price. With better operational planning and more attention to the condition of the rooms, this could be a wonderful place to stay. As it stands today, I don't think the value is here.

The room itself was very clean, sheets, bathroom, everything was very clean. I always get paranoid about bed bugs and we had zero issues. The breakfast in the morning was also very nice and fresh with good options. They had eggs, sausage, toast, bagels, cream cheese, very delicious fruit, oatmeal, coffee and tea. That alone made it a reasonable place to stay. The dining room was also very clean. I also really liked that they had the outdoor movie theater and smores. Our kids loved it each night. The library/game room is also such a cute unique area that is great for those who have kids. However now to the bad. That includes the cute library. While a cute idea, it's extremely dirty filled with dead flies and bees all over the windows and even cushions. The windows on the outside have not been clean in a very long time. The dead flies, bees are everywhere. There on the floor, the light fixtures, jacuzzi and pool. The jacuzzi had so many dead bugs in the water and the water also had probably dirt from people's bodies. It was very unsanitary and disappointing to say the least. The property itself is not maintained. There are bugs, weeds, and poor condition of most of the outside of the property. It's too bad because it could be a great place to stay if they just did some extra work to clean up. Part of me would want to come back because of the breakfast and outdoor movie but they really need to take the time to clean.

Wifi signal was great - I watched some Netflix and joined a Zoom meeting from my own computer and had no issues with either. Hot tub was great. Outdoor space to sit at a nice table with four chairs and a nice looking BBQ. I saw an elk roaming on the property, lots of quail and other birds (they have a pictorial guide of birds hanging by the front door right as you walk in). The yurt is on a gravel road. You pass the neighbor's sheep and horses as you drive in. Point Reyes Station is literally right around the corner - a 2-3 minute drive - with lots of food, great markets and shopping.

I passed Jan and Tony and Stella, their dog, on the way out one night - very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. I will be thrilled when the opportunity comes to visit again!!
