Pros:

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.

Adorable inn in an adorable town
Pros:

This inn is adorable and perfectly located in the middle of a walkable area. The hardest part was finding parking before checking in (and then moving my car to the right spot post-check in). I was greeted with the most amazing cookies, and a table with the room keys, but never actually met an employee other than food servers.

Pros:

The horel has no reception desk. You find your keys on a table as you enter. Our room had a double bed instead of the king bed that we booked. There was no one to talk to about it. No A/C and it was searing hot. No ice available. No parking right there.

Charming stay in San Anselmo
Pros:

My friend lives a short walk to the hotel so how I picked this place. My friend and I had dinner at Valenti which was excellent and I had breakfast with another friend at Comfort's which is next door. The town is adorable and the hotel is charming. I loved the cookies by the entrance. Breakfast was lovely on my second day. Fresh fancy fruit!

A hidden gem, Boutique Hotel
Pros:

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.

Pros:

A little worn, could do with being redecorated, bathroom updating, and so on. No daily housekeeping unless guests request it during a limited time in the afternoon when they are likely to be out. Odd. Can’t put anything in the housekeeping tip envelope if there isn’t any! However, very convenient and acceptable in all other respects.

Historic Inn is sure to Delight!
Pros:

Wonderful slice of history in San Anselmo that also pays homage to Star Wars’ creator George Lucas who is a resident in this community. Very peaceful setting and walkable to a variety of nice restaurants and shops. Breakfast was delightful.
