This is an old motel but kept in excellent shape. The maintenance/carpentry is excellent. First time that I've seen crown molding in a bathroom. The bed is comfortable and my wife loved the pattern on the comforter. The location is beautiful, right on the bay, and there are nice benches all around to soak it in. There are no restaurants within a reasonable distance that are open before 10 AM but you can get pastries and coffee within a few miles. We would stay there again.

The hotel is situated in a lovely location. Rooms were nice and clean. There was a slight odor, but being so close to the water it not surprising with humidity. The grounds are very well maintained and the staff very pleasant.

The room was spotlessly clean. Bathroom was maintained well. Location is so close to the bay it looks very nice to stand and watch the bay. There is no restaurant or breakfast option in the resort currently. But you have options within 10 mins of drive.

This place is excellent. We were in town to see a show in Point Reyes and even though it is not super close, the pet friendly room on the corner (#14) had a sweet view right on their harbor and its own parking space. I did not know there was also a swimming pool till I got there. Great clean room and nice people at the front desk. Short little drive to food and drinks. I will be back!

Let's put it this way...you're not staying here for the room. You're staying here because it's on the water...rooms are dated so expect that and all is good.
