Top Golden Gate National Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Muir Woods Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room for the price"

Cozy Studio In The Hills Of Mill Valley.

10/10 Excellent

"Tim was very responsive and the instructions for check-in and other things were very clear. My partner thought that the artwork was a little off-putting, but not a dealbreaker. I would definitely stay here again."

Acqua Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was so nice and breakfast was great!"

Tamalpais Motel

8/10 Good

"I thought the hotel was fine. It was small and cozy, but was clean. It’s what I expected for the price point compared to other accommodations in the area."

Haven in the trees, minutes from hiking trails

10/10 Excellent

"Great eucalyptus haven"

Travelodge by Wyndham Mill Valley/Sausalito

10/10 Excellent

"They were very nice and accommodating for my sister and I, giving us nice adjoining rooms. This is our 2nd time here. We will be back..."

Ocean views from every room!!

10/10 Excellent

"This is an absolutely wonderful property! Clean throughout, and very well-equipped -- especially the kitchen. One of the most spectacular views of the ocean imaginable, with nearby places to hike through redwoods, stroll along the beach, and taste some fantastic wine. The host was great at communicating everything we needed to know in advance, including some helpful tips (like picking up groceries on the way in, as there are limited nearby places to eat out). Just what the doctor ordered for a quiet couple's getaway. Peaceful and beautiful area, with friendly Scrub-Jays to keep you company during morning coffee! Very highly recommended."

Modern Garden View Home w/ free parking, unique art & furniture: a Superhost

10/10 Excellent

"This home is perfectly located: half a block off Highway 1, and minutes from downtown Mill Valley, Tiburon, and Highway 101. While this may sound like it's in a busy location, it isn't! It's set back from the street, surrounded by a lovely garden, and amazingly peaceful. The kitchen was very well-stocked and clean. I stayed with my seven-year-old grandson and appreciated how authentically friendly the host was to him. I would definitely stay here again!"

Mill Valley Tree House

10/10 Excellent

"Our host, Joan was lovely. She has an artistic flare and a genuine love of living things, which made us feel at home, as we came from New England. She was friendly and helpful without being at all intrusive. My 5 yr old Grandaughter loved the very calm doodle dog and the day bed and the 2 fawn nibbling outside the patio. Unsure how she kept all her heirloom plants and many collectables impeccably dustfree. I was not prepared for the winding hills and unique terrain but became comfortable quickly overcome by its beauty. Our trip to Muir Woods was just what we wanted and took our hosts advice for anice dinner in the tiny beachtown of Stinson Beach. I’m glad my wimpy daughter in law bowed out as she would be ill on the twisting mountain roads."
