I stayed here for an overnight stay and just turning into the property was a pain. There was VERY much traffic and it seemed to take quite a while. The outside of the place reminded me of a truck stop type of hotel. The staff at the front desk was VERY rude and didn't seemed to care for our business.... More

Nice location, accessible to San Francisco and other locations, friendly reception staff, clean, lots and lots of pillows on the bed! No air conditioning (maybe not normally necessary, but it was a hot day) but we did have a back door - which was kind of different - and windows that opened. Noisy street with the evening commute (bumper to... More

I felt the need to defend this freeway motel a bit. I like to go see shows in Mill Valley and this is a great place to stay. It is old and crappy, yes, but if you try you can get a room for $40 a night. The bed was actually comfortable, the pillows were fine. The closet was big... More

We've come back here many times. It is usually quite a bargan, well situated near where the 101 and 1 meet. It's a straight shot into San Francisco. The rooms are quite large and have front and back doors. We got a two room suite for $119 last time and wished we could have taken it with us the whole... More

The price for 3 nites was $267 which was good and it was close to where we had to be. The pics looked OK on line which was how I booked. Big disappointment when I walked in, walls dirty, comforter on beds soiled and raggy. Mattress very soft, doesn't look like anything kept up, very outdated. Bathroom reasonably clean but... More

Bad. When I arrived, they said, "It's $149 a night." (I didn't have a reservation.) I said, "It's only $95 online!" But the desk clerk refused come down on the price, so I said, "Fine, I'll go book the room from my phone." She immediately changed her tone, "No no no, $95 is fine." I should have known right then...

The young lady at the reception was very helpful to someone who does't know the secrets of a washing machine. The hotel was very convenient for San Francisco which was what I required. The room was very large, quiet and clean. The shower needed some clean up work done it No coffee facilities. Overall a clean, convenient hotel and a... More

We paid $419.32 for two nights. Only place available and they gouged the price. The room was terrible. The drapes were broken and wouldn't close (they had to bring safety pins to close them) the lamp socket was broken off with exposed "hot" wiring, they had to bring another lamp, The switch was borken in the closet leaving it dark....

This motel offers value for money close to San Francisco's Golde Gate Bridge. The location is some way out of down town but within walking distance there are a couple of places to eat - one opposite and some about 1km west down the road (despite first appearances, we would recommendand the Chinese). There's a pleasant view of the lagoon... More

We made reservations here based on the good reviews posted by other guests. Unfortunately our experience was much different. The property looks to have been recently purchased as its previous name (The Fountain) is more prominently displayed and made it easy to drive by missing it completely. The hotel's photograph on this page is taken from an angle that hides... More
