All that has been said in other reviews still hold true. Not much to look at from the outside until you step thru the door into the room. Clean like new carpets, granite tops on all surfaces and bath. A very nice touch. Their prices this time of year are around $75 i f you try to book thru their... more

This is an older-style motel, but the rooms have been redone and are nice. Even though it is located right next to the freeway, we didn't notice any freeway noise. We had a king suite which certainly was adequate for 2. The bed was comfortable and the flat-screen tv was nice. Our only complaint would be the quality of the... more

Our room was very nice (as described by other reviewers) and extremely clean. Considering the location right next to the freeway, it was also very quiet and comfortable. The one thing other reviewers didn't mention was the location. Marin County is a beautiful place with incredible views and lovely towns, but this motel is in a bad area right on... more

Located at the 101 and 580 this was a wonderful find! We were going to an NHRA event and a GIANTS game and it is the midpoint of the 2. We also took the Larkspur Ferry to the game at the last minute which is just 1 exit over! The staff is very nice and accomodating. A clean room and... more

I booked the North Bay Inn based on reading others' reviews. Thankfully they were spot on. The rooms were very clean, renovated. There is a fridge and a microwave. The bed was as comfortable as any high end hotel. We felt this was good value for the money. And for us, it was geographically desirable with easy access to Route... more

As far as the construction that has been mentioned in previous reviews: You don't even hear it once in your room and, ALL of the hotels in San Rafael are in this same location. I have now stayed here for a total of 4 weeks (leaving Saturday to return Tuesday) and have appreciated it every time! The staff is extremely... more

This small motel is clearly run by people who care. My large room was well-furnished (plasma TV, sofa, refer, mwave), spotless, and thoughtfully prepared - one favorite touch was the bath mat, which was laid on the tub edge with one corner folded up and a round of soap nestled in the fold. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The... more

We stayed at the North Bay on our way back from Muir Woods, knowing that it was our last night in the SF area before we went to Alcatraz and flew out the next day. Despite the road construction, this motel was a very pleasant surprise. It has been renovated very nicely. (granite counters, fridge, flat screen tv, comfortable beds,... more

We highly recommend North Bay Inn. This is a great place to stay. The staff was friendly and the rooms are very nice. We booked this for a rest before sightseeing in San Francisco and all in our group were pleased with this hotel. more
