    Enjoying BBQ oysters on the coast
    Macfarlane G.

    I recently spent six nights at the Fairfax Inn and loved it. Very clean, big rooms. It's located right downtown where all the fabulous restaurants and live music clubs are. Even though it's so close to the action it's very quite, I was never disturbed by any outside noise. I was there during the most recent 6.1 earthquake and there was no added charge for the early morning ride and excitement. I survived just fine. Everything about this place worked for me. Very comfortable bed, super large tub, big towels, TV and a very nice light breakfast consisting of juice, coffee, toast, buns and so on. The host, Jay Raman was very nice and very accommodating. I enjoyed the place so I extended two more nights and will most def be going back. Also I found Fairfax to be a little jewel. My passions were great place to stay, great resturant options and cycling. It was epic.

    Location, location, location. Right in the middle of downtown Fairfax. Park your car in the Inn's ample parking and forget it. Proprietress made booking and checking in a breeze. Vaulted ceilings and whirlpool tube make the room particularly inviting. Went out for brunch, so next time I'll have to try the Inn's continental breakfast.

    Hey munchkins how's it going? Well do I have a story for you all. I went hiking with "The Raja of…read moreRhythym," "Granola Girlie," "The Yogi," "Civic Minded," and one of our other friends. We took on Alamere falls and it was a lot of fun. On the way back our car broke down and we stopped in the lovely town of Bolinas. Our first move was to try to find a mechanic. The locals pointed us to someone named Sean. We went to a bar to try to find him only for someone there to tell us he was in Richmond. I love that all the locals there knew this one mechanic. Eventually we called AAA to get the car towed and they came within an hour which was impressive Next on the agenda was to call an Uber to get us out of here. After roughly twelve attempts to call an Uber we found one. Our plan is to first Uber to Mill Valley and then try to catch something to S.F. While waiting we got some food here. The food was quite good. The fish tacos are very flavorful with excellent salsa. They had a robust menu of vegan options a the vegan chicken bowl is really good and ethically sourced to boot! If you are ever in Bolinas I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Do not eat here. This place was just as bad as the place I visited in Wyoming…read more I ordered a taco salad. It said it had Pico de gallo. Since when is Pico de gallo just a few diced tomatoes? It said it came with beans. Which is something that would typically be in a taco salad at the bottom. Well, this one didn't. It had a few black beans sprinkled on top. Then the corn? Unsure about that but there were sprinkles of that. I had to pay for the guacamole. Okay, typical. Then onto the the protein. Typically, taco salads come with this but not at this place. They charge $5 extra for that and it wasnt very much. The "asada" was the tiny cubed type. You know the type you see in grocery stores? It tasted like meat that had been left in the fridge for a few days and reheated. So, if you like lettuce in a taco shell that has a few sprinkles of other things, then this $25 "taco" salad is for you. My 14 yr old is a better cook. We also ordered a bean a cheese burrito. He did say that was a kids burrito, so I said okay. I didn't know it was $12. The waffle fries were good. Someone we brought with us ordered those and shared. She said her other food item was dreadful. The other person said his food was not worth the $20ish he spent on his burrito either. We were hungry and didn't plan accordingly. Next time, we will. This place is your typical overpriced horrible food tourist trap place. Just come with food if you plan on visiting the beach. I feel bad for the people who actually live in this town and this is one of the veey limited options they have for eating out. Over the years, I haven't had one decent food place ranging from Stinson beach up to bodega bay. I'd gladly pay the prices if any of the food was actually good. This is about the food and not about the service. That's the 1 star because at least the staff was nice.

The bed and pillows were genuinely comfortable, temperature control worked perfectly, and the lighting options made the room feel adaptable and cozy. The artwork throughout adds charm and personality. The back patio is delightful -- ideal for morning coffee -- and the breakfast room is bright and light-filled, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. Breakfast deserves special mention: the best European-style spread I've had at a small property -- fresh pastries, yogurt, cereal, berries, hard-boiled eggs, and good coffee every morning. Quiet, clean, and elegantly run.

The good: easy to make reservations and arrangements were clear. The Inn is convenient and clean. It is charming and has some very lovely touches that you would never get in a hotel. Parking is easy and reasonable ($10 per day). The beds are comfortable and supportive--a key element as my friend has had extensive back surgery. And, breakfast is included and served on the lovely patio. When my cousins came to visit, I had them stay at the Inn. They raved about the breakfast! My friends raved about the great lighting in the bathroom. What to expect: there is no elevator and you have to carry your bags up a staircase that can be challenging if you have much large or heavy luggage. The floors are not completely even in all rooms. Some are just a little bit off and are carpeted. It's easy to trip over the change in floor level, as there is no marking. Nice surprise: there is a cut in the wall to show the original knob and tube wiring. It's got a plexiglass cover. But the preservation of history and education is a lovely idea.

The server told us they operate out of a food truck. So the menu is limited. But what they make is really good! We ordered the lemonade, chicken and waffles, huevos rancheros divorciados, and the strawberry champagne sherbet. Service was very prompt! The actual menu in-person had a couple items that aren't on the sample menu including a couple more dessert options like fig ice cream. We really liked everything we tried! The portions were pretty good. If coming here for food I'd recommend getting here early since food trucks have limited capacity. You're welcome to stroll around the property both the flower farm and the inn side before or after your meal. The parking situation is a gravel lot. So it may not be the most handicap accessible place. We had a lot of fun stopping by Park Winters. They were setting up for a wedding so the inn side would have been closed for the event starting at 1pm. The check also came with a small map of the property for you to keep. This was very helpful in exploring the property. The only caveat is this is the countryside. Wear long pants or be prepared with insect repellent! Even at 10am in the summer my legs were bitten by mosquitoes. (Type O blood. Mosquito magnet here.) I'd like if they burned some citronella candles to help with mosquitoes. The rest of the dining venue was so thoughtfully designed including timed misters (like at theme parks) to help keep the area cool. Definitely check it out if you're curious or in the area.

They comped the meal, and we didn't ask for it; we only wanted to split the check, which was a policy that was never discussed, but their system could do it. So they decided to comp the check, given the many issues. Then the manager calls me after we leave, leaves a message, and says, very passively aggressive, "We comped your meal, but you did not leave the server a tip." Servers live off tips. But don't worry, we took care of her tip. Have a good day." Umm, excuse me? I was a server for over 7 years. First of all, I wouldn't expect a tip after the establishment that failed me by not ensuring they had adequate kitchen supplies to keep a Mother's Day up and running. Additionally, I would have added more staff to the day, which would of course be very busy. And lastly, how are we tipped when you comped the bill and walked away, and nobody had cash? We did not ask for the bill to be comped. So for future reference, dear John I don't recommend calling your customers and bullying them over voicemail. You're the problem, not us.

I wound up having to extend my stay, incrementally, by almost 2 weeks - got a bad cold and couldn't fly. Everyone at the front desk/hotel was so kind! Genuinely nice people.

Within 24 hours my door was locked and I was not notified. I had left in the morning to Marin country Mart for a bagel and coffee and when I returned, I could not get into the room which was extremely dangerous considering I need to take medication at the same time every day. The front desk staff reported there was nothing they could do and wouldn't accept another payment method, they suggested cash. They publicly humiliated me at the front desk. Being one of the very FEW minorities staying here I felt very targeted. I felt that I would not have been treated the same if i looked different. The staff did not bother to assist/ help me navigate this.. no plan b or c? Just no? I had to stay out all day from 9am -5 pm. After all of that they said "oh well we can give you a prior authorization form".... Unbelievable! I will never stay here again. Also, the entire first floor smelled like marijuana most of my stay and the bathrooms barely flush. The water pressure is terrible in the shower and there is black mold in the bathroom.
