We loved our stay at the San Anselmo. Very bed and breakfast vibes, neat history, clean rooms, and well kept. We also loved all the availability of shopping, eating, and travel in the area. You can walk to pretty much anything you want or need and if not plenty of ubers available for the area. The only negative for us was there was no AC. But, the rooms stayed cool when we were there. Mid October time frame. We kept the windows open so it helped keep it cool. Great stay all together and will come back when in town!

What a lovely, quaint and comfortable hotel. It has a sweet, European feel. This is NOT an ultra modern luxury property but a perfect local spot to experience the quiet authentic town of San Anselmo and its surroundings. The owners were super accommodating and the rooms clean with excellent beds and a breakfast spread in the dining room every morning. We were very pleased and will return for sure.

Anniversary Weekend

Anniversary trip and San Anselmo was our home base to get to Point Reyes, Muir Woods, SF & Sausalito/Tiberon. Easy check-in, quiet and comfortable room, nice patio to relax with a bottle of wine. Cute town, very family and dog friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Room was adequate. It was clean, but not particularly roomy for two people, i.e., not much room for luggage. Bathroom was extremely small. It was very quiet and the bed comfortable.

Super convenient location? Lots of dining and shopping options within walking distance. Places to hike nearby. San Anselmo is a tight knit friendly community, with a small town atmosphere. No elevator to second floor, so be ready to carry your bag. And hot water never reached the sink, although there was plenty for the shower. Staff there warm and accommodating.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Still adheres to pandemic self-check-in protocol, so I saw not a soul representing the hotel the 2 days I stayed. The window covering in the room did not entirely cover the window. Walls are paper thin. I stayed here a few years before the pandemic and it's the same -- but worse bc there's no breakfast buffet in the downstairs cafe/patio setting and housekeeping is only provided for an extra fee. The location - downtown San Anselmo - however, is excellent.

Overall a nice stay, our room faced directly toward a concrete wall, which despite a beautiful day and weather led our room to feel dark and cramped. Very loud neighbors other guests as well which is not the fault of the hotel. They were able to make our room ready well in advance of check in which was helpful. Very nicely situated to walk the main stretch of San Aselmo which has lots of coffee/shops/food available.

A hidden gem, Boutique Hotel

While this charming little boutique hotel was quaint, the check in process was weird because there is no front desk nor staff. They leave a key in an envelope on a side table in a hallway next to an open door for the restaurant people. Room was clean. Toilet leaked when you flushed, shower wall needed to be replaced but they did have everything you need. Extra blankets, pillows, fans in your room. Complimentary breakfast in the morning was mediocre but we found a cute restaurant for breakfast. It wasn't what we thought it would be but we made the most of it.
