    If you’re hesitant to book at the lodge, don’t be. It is cozy, clean, and homey. My son and I stayed one night and were impressed by both the hospitality of the staff as well as the comfort and cleanliness of the room. We will absolutely stay at Marin Lodge when we’re in the area again!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This small hotel was surprisingly top notch. The room was spacious and clean and the furnishings were so comfortable. The bed was a much higher quality than what you would expect for a 2 star hotel. The hotel also had complementary pastries, coffee, and fruit in the mornings. Also the information binder had helpful information about how to pay for the Golden Gate Bridge toll if you had a rental car and I was able to pay the toll ahead. Would definitely stay at the Marin Lodge again!

    A. surprising sense of remoteness on a busy downtown street.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Location was ideal for where I wanted to be situated. Quiet and ideal for a couple of nights. A little tricky when driving onto Lincoln Ave at times.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Ideally situated outside of San Francisco, plenty of amenities close by , there are many choices of restaurants in San Rafael , we used ferries and drove in to San Francisco, the parking is very expensive , this is why we chose the Marin lodge,
