I like Marinwood Inn. It is fairly quiet, even though it's near the 101 highway. The meandering quality of the buildings feels kind of homey. The staff is great, too.

The front desk was nice and helpful. The King bed room I had was a fine place to sleep. It was clean but very basic. The refrigerator was very nice and cool. There was a microwave that was clean and worked. The front desk was very nice and helpful. The breakfast room was clean and food was very basic but stocked.

I was greeted by a friendly gentleman and really liked that my room included a garage to park in. The room was very clean except for the very worn and stained carpet. The bed was okay although the pillows were very lumpy. I do give Housekeeping 5-Stars.

The manager wasn't particularly helpful, and breakfast consisted of stale or expired food, with the coffee machine not even working. And the tap water in the rooms was dirty.

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.

Location was good for us to get to the Sonoma race track. I didn't like the fact that the staff couldn't speak English. Limited garbage cans in the room. The rooms should be cleaned out a little better. Great location! Friendly staff, but should speak English better.

It's old and unkept, very large property, perhaps not much staff to keep up with. It's good for one night, but not for more than that. We had no deadbolt lock on our door and the bathroom sink didn't drain quickly. The bed was clean.
