“What stands out is its location near both the Golden Gate Bridge and Muir Woods, plus the extras, like bike rentals and an outdoor fire pit. I especially like that it caters to film crews working near the Mill Valley Film Festival; its newly renovated rooms and on-site dining add to the appeal, even if some rooms have thin walls. This property strikes me as a practical base for exploring the area.”
