Marin lodge was a wonderful place to stay. Clean and comfortable, it was well-maintained. The beds are very comfortable, the sheets clean and soft. There was a microwave and small fridge. The rooms are spacious. The staff were attentive and kind. It feels safe and restful. Easy access from Highway 101 and Very close to downtown San Rafael. Norma is awesome!
