Very near highway. But I did notice a lot of hotels in California are just off the highway. I booked this motel for one night. A quick stop for a nights sleep that was on the cheaper side. Otherwise would not have picked. But the room was clean. Maybe replace carpet or change to hardwood or similar.

The location is convenient to freeways and dining. San Francisco is 20 minutes to the south. The rooms are like suites, with high ceilings, ample lighting plenty of doutlets, and comfortable furnishings. Staff are friendly and helpful. Ample free parking is all off street.

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.
