Great location, center of town, did not have to walk far to good restruants.
Pros:

We were greated by Robin at the front desk when we arrived. She was extremely knowledgeable of the area and made MANY recomdations that made our three day stay the best. She should be given a raise, she helps all guests the same that we observed, great representative for the property. The room was great, we will be returning in about two months.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind but I wanted to share something with management. I noticed that the access system/card used to gain entry at the main entrance is by SecurKey. I have been is the security business in SF for 55 years and was recently informed by our national supplier the SecurKey has gone out of business, phone calls and correspondence to their offices are not answered. If the company that supplied managment with the SecurKey access cards still has some available you better purchase them before the access door system will have to be replaced by another manufacturer. FYI Ken

Traditional Hotel in the Center of Things
Pros:

Always enjoy staying at Hotel Sausalito--it's right in the center of things. The rooms are smallish, but well decorated and very clean. No bellperson service, but you can get a rack to carry your luggage. It's only two floors, with an elevator, so that wasn't a negative for us. The woman to the desk is very helpful and friendly. We will come back.

Pros:

We had a wonderful time in Sausalito! The property’s location couldn’t be better, it’s right in the heart of town, within walking distance of all the restaurants and shops. The bed was very comfortable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Parking was easy and conveniently located in an outdoor lot right in front of the property.
