This still an excellent place to stay, well above the usual Best Western standard. Pleasant, efficient reception. Free and plentiful continental breakfast. Rooms are spacious and well-kept. Beds are luxurious. Ask for a room overlooking the hill at the rear to avoid Route 101 noise. Good but pricy restaurant next door, but varied choice in Novato, 10 minutes drive away.... more

I am a local who needed to be out of my house with my family during some work on our house. I selected the Novato Oaks for my stay because of the reviews. I was not disappointed. The hotel considerately for us and for others put us on an upper floor with no one below us and a hillside room... more

The property is very well-maintained. The room facilities are very comfortable. Great Beds. Continental breakfast average. Coffee and Tea around the clock. Desk people helpful, depending on the shift. We were very pleased with our room and the location, until about 11:15p.m. We were just about to retire for the night, when a couple arrived in the adjoining room. They... more

My husband and I spent 4 days at the Novato Oaks Best Western in late April. We were celebrating my BIG birthday. The front desk staff knew, and upgraded our room. The staff was very friendly and helpful, recommending what sights to see and the best ways to get there. The room itself was quiet, clean and very comfortable. The... more

Me and my girlfriends were going to a concert in San jose, we wanted to stay outside of the city area. I found the Novato oaks on line, and called them directly. Front counter person was so helpful when we arrived, she printed us out a map on the easiest way to get to the concert from there. The room... more

From the moment we parked in the easy-to-park-in, spacious parking lot and we're greeted at the desk by a cheerful, helpful check-in associate, we knew this would be a good stay. The room was spotless. We lucked out on having a view out the window of a hill in bloom with wildflowers and alive with birdsong! The pool was clean... more

I've stayed at this hotel dozens of times, since I leave near Seattle but work for a company in Novato. Many of the very friendly staffers greet me by name when I arrive, and they are friendly and helpful to everyone. The hotel is full of nice touches such as a coffee/tea/pastry station by the library nook in the lobby,... more

This was my first visit to the Novato Oaks Inn, and it certainly won't be my last. I've stayed in a number of other hotels in Marin, but I would have to say this is one of the best values I've encountered. The propery is set back off the highway, nestled into a hillside. There is a large parking lot... more

Heading north to the wine country and looking for an exceptional value? Stop here! Large, nicely appointed rooms; incredibly comfortable beds; nice bathroom; large covered balcony. Even the adjoining restaurant is very nice with excellent menu and food and a wide variety of martinis! A must visit during a stay. The only down side would be not having a closing... more
