The most recent iteration of Smiley's is excellent. They have live music on occasionally, opened up a patio where you can sit outdoors and they also serve delicious food, great cocktails and have a very good selection of draft beers. This is a great spot to have lunch in Bolinas.

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.

He was awesome and accommodating. Frodo mentioned that the room was small, which we were okay with. We were going to Stinson for the beach and outdoors, not to be cooped up in a room.

The bed was so comfortable it sucked me in and didn't let me go till 12 hours later! The next morning Frodo asked us how we slept and if everything was okay with the room. See Frodo is a good guy after all.

When my daughter OD'd on the 5th of July, I reached out to the various places I had reservations with and explained my situation. Everyone was so nice and refunded a portion of my money.

Not funny! Tell the child, you will support any decision she makes on her own, that you love her. Unconditional love! That is what a person suffering with suicidal ideation needs to want to live..not a Skull! She needs to get far, far, away from suffering: a 1/2 way house; support center for suicidal children; religious retreat; if she speaks Russian, a trip to the Motherland, w/o YOU! What kind of people say this to someone that has already paid for their room. The individuals that answer the phone are not very professional either. I called numerous times to speak with Angelica but she was never available or would never return my calls. Very disappointed with the way I was treated.

The place has definitely seen better days - it did not look or smell like an establishment that charges almost $200/night to stay. No private bathrooms, and the one bathroom I used had a faucet fixture that had detached from the sink, with a handwritten sign indicating that the faucet needed to be held while using. The "lobby/main room area that you walk into from the main entry door is the living room of the proprietors, and is wall to wall stuff/junk. There was a ceramic bowl with a lid on it sitting on a side table that was covered in fruit flies and smelled like decomposing fruit. No breakfast at this bed and breakfast, however they have taped over the word "breakfast" on the signage out front. Likely the least expensive place to stay in the popular tourist town of Stinson Beach for very good reason...

After coming here weekdays for 9 months, one Monday afternoon a staff member brought our Frenchie out and as I was transitioning him to our harness, she reached her hand out (without asking me) from behind him and got bit (very minor skin break.) Management tells me Tuesday evening that we couldn't come back for 10 days but that a safety committee would review on Thursday. No call, so I would call daily (awful phone system fyi!) and only get front desk staff who would "go ask management" only to say keep calling. Would have been nice to explain what happened to management from my POV but they never talked to us again. And they only made their decision after the 10 days was up and never made clear their process. We were hoping to go back but given how we have been treated, we are happy we found an alternate provider.
