Daryl, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Marin Lodge is a small, clean, very quiet hotel located 3 minutes away by car from downtown San Rafael. I especially liked the in-room microwave and mini-fridge. It is definitely not fancy, but overall a great boutique alternative to the larger brands that offer rooms at around the same price.
Bruce, 2-night trip

Great place. Comfy bed, very quiet, nice water pressure. Ceiling fan. Nearby Whole Foods. Will stay again.
Cameron, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The location was quiet and the trees blocking the view of the nearby street were both beautiful and effective. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It was removed from shopping/sights and so not walkable, but otherwise a wonderful place to stay.
