This is a lovely little motel. The trees they’ve planted by the rooms make it feel scenic and the trees between the road and motel make it quiet. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. The nights were quiet - I could hear peepers! The staff was very friendly. Just a great experience. Highly recommend.

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.
