The hype
Guests universally adore the location and the deck, treating the hotel as a peaceful sanctuary rather than a party spot.
Waters Edge
$280-450/ nuit
Réservez si You want a romantic, quiet escape where the bay view is the entertainment and you don't need a scene.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- The deck: Fire pits and direct bay views that make you feel like you're on a private yacht
- Breakfast in bed: Complimentary continental breakfast delivered to your door every morning
- No nickel-and-diming: No resort fees, free wine hour, and free cookies at night
En bref : A charming, sleepy boutique hotel that feels like a wealthy aunt's guest house—immaculate and cozy, but don't expect a gym or room service dinner.
Évalué par @TravelWithMae: I stayed here for a weekend disconnect and the vibe was incredibly peaceful. Sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine felt so luxurious, and the morning views of the boats in the harbor were stunning. It's the perfect spot if you need to unwind.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'bay view' is worth the upgrade; rooms facing the street or service areas feel like a completely different (and lesser) hotel.
- You prioritize silence and views over nightlife
- You love the idea of sipping wine by a fire pit while watching ferries pass
- You travel with a dog (very pet-friendly with a fee)
Propreté et entretien

“I would love a room on the top floor, as far from the elevator and service closet as possible. A bay view is my priority.”

Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
Skip the in-room coffee and grab a cup from the lobby—it's often fresher and you can take it to the deck.
- ✨
The 'wine hour' is a legitimate social event; go early to snag a fire pit seat.
- ✨
Ask for a 'feather bed' topper if you like a softer mattress; they sometimes have them available.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'gym' is a pass to a local fitness center, not a room in the hotel.
💡The bathroom amenities are EO (Essential Oils), a high-quality local Marin brand.
💡The last ferry from SF leaves relatively early (around 7-8pm depending on the day), so don't get stranded in the city.
💡There is a 'DVD lending library' which feels dated but fits the cozy/nostalgic vibe.
💡You can hear the water lapping against the pilings in the bay-view rooms at high tide.
