    My boyfriend and I came here for my birthday weekend, and it was amazing!! I was a little skeptical after seeing some of the reviews, but we had such a good time. The front desk lady was very kind, and even gave us a room with a better view as well as a late checkout. This hotel is definitely old, but it has so much character! I honestly had a lovely stay and would definitely stay here again.

    Arrived around 3pm to a locked door with a sign posted instructing us to call a number for help, in order to check in. It was about a 10 minute wait after we called the number on the door, which caused us an inconvenience since we had somewhere we needed to be. Parking was a pain during the day, the whole area overflowing with tourists. But the views of the city over the water were amazing. It was stuffy in the room, the AC never reaching a cool enough temperature to maintain a level of comfort, especially during a heat wave, probably low on freon... not fun. No screens on the windows, so that didn't help. But I loved the beautiful furnishings and that they offered unlimited free bottled water and a fridge to keep drinks cold. It's undoubtedly a lovely hotel with lots of character. Historical building, charming architecture and decor, quirky artwork on the walls of the lobby, hallways, and rooms, a shared outdoor patio on the second floor right outside our room. But I care about comfort and conveniences more than looks, and the value wasn't quite there, so I can't give more than 3 stars.

    We decided to spend this years anniversary in Sausalito. The woman that runs the hotel was super nice and very knowledgeable about everything Sausalito. The room had great views, comfortable accommodations and a great location for shopping and restaurants. It's right by the ferry dock, so if you want to go to San Francisco, easy peasy.

    Hotel Sausalito has become my go-to hotel when visiting Sausalito. The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect with water views from some rooms. My favorite part of staying at Hotel Sausalito is falling asleep to the fountain in the courtyard across the street. Guest get a card which also gives them a free coffee and pastry from the awesome cafe downstairs. Couple this with free newspapers and it's easy to imagine a nice relaxing morning on the water. There are plenty of benches across the street from the hotel that our you right on the water with jaw-dropping views of San Francisco, Angel Island, Alcatraz, etc. One of the other highlights of Hotel Sausalito is the staff. Everyone who works there clearly cares about making sure guests have a great experience. Special thank you to Matthew who has gone above and beyond multiple times! A stones throw from the hotel you'll find some of the best restaurants in town like Copita which is my personal favorite. (They have a lobster ceviche that is INCREDIBLE) One little touch that I really like is that the hotel leaves water bottles out for the guests along with apples and oranges. Given that most hotels charge $5+ for water in rooms, here you get as many bottles as you want! Sidenote: Don't expect to be watching TV on a big screen. This hotel has tiny TVs that are shockingly small when you first see them. Just remember, you're in peaceful Sausalito, grab a book from the library and take it easy. One last bonus that's too cool not to mention. They have a little library with some books that are easy to pick up and dive into. So, that's a pretty long way of saying, this hotel rocks and if you're coming to Sausalito you won't regret staying here. Pro tip: ask for a room facing the water.

    No, the line doesn't stretch all the way to the hotel and the ferry is far enough away that it's not noisy.

We come to Sausalito at least once a year and always stay at the Inn Above Tide. It's located on the waterfront and each room has the perfect view of the ocean, looking out towards the city of San Francisco and the San Francisco Bay Bridge. All the rooms have their own private deck where you can relax with a glass of wine or champagne and take in the beautiful views of the city of San Francisco. All the shops and restaurants on Bridgeway St. are within walking distance of the Inn. It is also right next to the Ferry where you can purchase tickets for a ride into San Francisco. When you arrive, you are greeted at the gate of their private parking lot, where your car is safely stored during your stay. Check-in is always easy and all the staff are extremely accommodating and friendly. They offer a Continental breakfast that is served buffet-style in their Drawing Room or you can have your breakfast delivered to your room for a $5 fee. Every evening from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. they have wine, cheeses, crackers, and fresh fruit for all guests in their Drawing Room. You can also arrange to have this delivered to your room as well. When we arrived to our suite, they had a lovely anniversary surprise waiting for us inside. They had a silver tray on our table, with a white rose, a bottle of champagne, a box of Napa Valley chocolates, and a lovely card to welcome us. When we booked our stay, for this trip, we chose the City Lights Suite. The inside of the suite is beautiful, luxurious, immaculate, and very spacious. The bed was very comfortable. I have an allergy to feathers. They made sure our pillows and bedding did not contain any down feathers. They had fresh, gorgeous orchids in the main part of the suite as well as the en suite bathroom. If you want to watch a movie, they have a huge catalog of DVDs, you can pick from, to watch in your room. They really go above and beyond to make your stay an unforgettable experience. That's why we always come back. I want to especially thank all the staff for making us feel welcome and making our stay extra special.

Two sided fireplace. We stayed in the rooms not cottages. Breathtaking views. The gentleman at the front desk was friendly and helpful! They have a wine session from 4-6 daily which is a nice touch. Good wine selection. Only downfall- we had requested and confirmed numerous times for champagne and wine for a celebration to be set up in the room as a surprise. That wasn't done and had to contact front feet after getting into our room. Not sure if they forgot or miscommunication? Was confirmed a few times. Grounds itself are beautiful and great for a walk while staying there! You can walk up to the water area for closer views and it's beautiful on a sunny SF stay!

The hotel is clean, has a dock on the second floor to enjoy the beautiful views. Watch the sunrise and the sunset from this spot. It's magical. They have bikes you can borrow to explore the little town. It was raining on and off and they provided us with umbrellas. The customer service was great, friendly and helpful staff. We had a great experience with staff... Malibu Farm is next door so you can treat yourself with the most delicious food at the restaurant or have your morning coffee and pastries in their coffee shop. There are many nice places to eat within a minute or two walk. Overall I'm soooo happy with our stay here and really can't wait to come back.

The deep tissue massage I got was very good. Can't say it was the best I've ever had but definitely not the worst. Just don't expect it to be as big or grand as a five star resort or anything. It's located in the boutique style hotel which has been there for ages. It's small, yet nicely appointed. The staff were great, rooms were quiet. I enjoyed the outdoor lounge area. The rest of the place isn't much to see. There was one loud group of guys making noise/laughing loudly for a while down the steps from the lounges. Not sure if they were employees of the hotel or guests but it stopped after 10 minutes or so. With tight quarters you can't do much about that. The men's locker room was meh, clean, but small and kind of rank smelling like a local YMCA or something. Think that's due to it being so small and having a steam room, there's not great ventilation. Also thought it wasn't good that the urinals were so close to the sinks. Shower pressure not great. Parking is a bit tricky being downtown Sausalito. They give you a free parking pass if you go out and get it. Wish they'd email it to you ahead of time to be more convenient. Overall, it's ok and I may return under the right circumstances but I do prefer a more spacious type of spa with more amenities.

    Exceptionally clean, friendly staff…read more I stayed for two nights while visiting family in Tiburon and learned not to judge a hotel by first impressions. The outside of the hotel raised my eyebrows, but once I got into the room, I was shocked at how clean it was. Not a single stain, hair, or grubby fingerprint was in sight. This is literally how I want every room in every hotel to be. The staff were friendly at check-in. The hotel offers breakfast, coffee, and a small fridge with beverages (beer) and frozen meals. Note: the local town seems to shut down at 9:00 p.m. every night, which is good for quietness but bad if you want a late-night bite. Cons: the building didn't seem well secured. It felt like anyone from the streets could access the outdoor stairs to guests' rooms. Definitely double-bolt your door and don't open it to strangers here. That being said the town itself seems very safe and well policed. The shower lacked water pressure, and the pillow / bed wasn't the most comfortable, tbh. I'd recommend this hotel if you need to stay in Tiburon for a couple of nights (cleanliness is my most heavily weighted hotel criterion, personally). It's not luxury, but it's clean and much more affordable than other spots in the immediate area. I will say though, for maybe a net 50-100 more per night, I stayed at the St. Regis SF (Forbes 5-star), so if you have the ability to stay in the city, you may get more bang for the buck.
