Great stay! Was concerned that proximity to 101 would be loud, but my room was well off the frontage, quite quiet and very well appointed. The shower was particularly nice. The free breakfast was better than most, and overall, if I needed to stay in North Marin ever again, I'd come back to Marinwood Suites.

Unfriendly manager, room had old , deteriorating door to bath room. Coffee service in room was awful. Room needed to be swept. Breakfast service and room very good In general the experience was that of old motel in desperate need of new owners.

We were assigned a upper room that normally has a garage in the bottom floor, except ours had the ice vending machine. The room looked and smell dirty. There was a wet spot on the carpet.

I liked that,fpr my needs, this was a great location. I liked easy acess to the freeway going both north and south. I liked the Peets coffee machine with the breakfast, offering such delicious choices. Liked having the parking so close to my room. I didn't like hearing the freeway noises all through the night.

The frontdesk was uncourteous and rude. Room carpet was disgustingly dirty and smelly. Their safedeposit box is not functioning while when we ask the frintdesk says “put your money in the bank and bring your jewelries with you” How rude and impolite….never coming back to this place nor will we never ever recommend anyone in staying here.
