We had Room 102, in the corner of the compound. So nice, airy and quiet. The set up of the compound was very relaxing and attractive, even with a major road running right outside.

I love Marin lodge! Norma and her family and staff make this quite a special place. It's clean and quiet and you can't hear your neighbors. It's quite homey, and they have nice trees in front of the windows to provide privacy. A great value here in Marin!

This place is a hidden gem. The family that runs are very nice people. It is a real bargain. It is on a busy street and close to the freeway, but not noisy at all.

Although the room decor could use an update, it was equipped with a small mini fridge and microwave which was a plus. Very quiet and located in a convenient area. The owner was so friendly and accommodating!

Best and friendliest service!
It was wonderful to stay at such a welcoming place. I was traveling with my elderly father who can be quite grumpy and demanding but the staff was consistently patient and helpful. I also appreciated all the little extras like free water and other goodies in the office. Next time I need a hotel in Marin, I will be staying here!
