Excellent location!
Pros:

Location was excellent. Parking was adjacent and the hotel offered a discount.

Cons:

Historical properties always have their downfalls. This property seemed well maintained, but the sink drained very slowly and the air-conditioning didn’t blow cold (it was unusual to be so warm in Sausalito that you needed AC in the first place, but when you need it, it should work) it’s located above a popular restaurant so there is lots of street noise, including very early in the morning for Street Sweeping, delivery trucks, etc. When the desk staff were there, they were friendly and helpful.

Surprisingly quiet, comfortable, unbeatable location in terms of convenience & bay views
Pros:

The location was right by the ferry stop, but was surprisingly quiet. And we got a partial bay view from our window, which I was not expecting! Spacious room, comfortable bed, nice shower, quaint but comfortable. Nice to be able to walk to any number of restaurants or along the water.

Cons:

Parking was $30 per day in the lot across the street. The A/C did not seem to be working but it was cool enough at night that we were OK. Had we stayed another night I would have asked if it could be fixed.

Pros:

The location is awesome, and Robin at the front desk is wonderful.

Cons:

The only thing that could make it better would be to have some sort of food/breakfast/coffee option in the morning.
