Hotel Sausalito

Not great. Small room. Tiny TV. Not a bad place. But could use some improvement. Not the best but not the worst. Great little restaurant next door. The TV was at an odd angle so you couldn’t watch it easily from the bed. Nice view from the room. Nice that they provided bottled water but it wasn’t cold and no ice in the machine.
Not sure if this is the best hotel in Sausalito. But probably not the worst.

cute b&b style inn along the waterfront. Friendly staff. Historical building near the ferry terminal.
Negatives, no ice in the micro ice machine that is also communal to the hotel. no fridge in room, kinda loud ventilation. No screens for the windows if you wanted to leave them open.

Rooms are small, but nice. It’s not the ferry noise you have to worry about, it’s the trucks and other vehicles that come through in the early hours. Provided breakfast is not guaranteed as they were completely out of breakfast for our second day. It’s vacation, you shouldn’t have to wake up early just to grab a bite to eat. This is listed as a bed and breakfast, so they should have been accommodating, but weren’t. There were two lovely ladies at the front desk, I just wish I had their name to give them a nice note. Love Sausalito, but won’t be back to this hotel.

Surprisingly a pretty darn good hotel. Sure, the rooms are small but it’s charming and the bathroom was modern. I was above the main road but it was peaceful after hours on a Saturday night. Staff very friendly and they gave me a stamp for my postcard… Nice touch!

Our room was clean, comfortable and had an amazing view. It was loud outside when all the bikers were getting back on the ferry but that was done by 7−8pm on Sunday night. I like that you can see what each room looks like and can pick which one you want. They did a good job of keeping it looking authentic. Friendly staff.

We stayed here last weekend with a group of friends and really enjoyed the hotel, the location and the very nice staff. They have a darling little patio area where we all celebrated into the late evening. The rooms are small by modern standards but really pretty and many overlook the active comings and goings of tourists sailing on the ferries. The staff were very helpful. Only one minor flaw — the bed cover was too heavy for the under blanket and continually fell off in the night.

Love this hotel! Quaint, comfortable, and the service is wonderful. We stayed in the Park Suite overlooking the main street. It’s busy, but fun to people watch, and convenient to shops, great restaurants, and ferry to SF. TV is small, but we didn’t care — rarely used it — too much more to enjoy. We will be back soon.

This is a charming old style hotel that is well maintained. It is very conveniently close to the ferries. The town itself is charming, safe and quiet. A good alternative to staying in San Francisco. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and offer A/​C. If you want a room with a view you probably have to pay for it. Our room overlooked a maze of rooftops and air conditioner units. The bathroom was both modern and old style. Not much going on at the hotel other then a nice place to sleep. There is a nice rooftop sitting area that is outside of the hotel for fresh air and the courtesy bottle water and pastries were appreciated. The parking fee of $ 15 a day was a bit disappointing. I would probably stay at this hotel again if the price were right.
Room Tip: Be sure to ask about the view from your room, if you want one
Stayed August 2014, traveled as a couple

Fabulous European-​style hotel in the center of Sausalito, though very quiet at night in this sleepy bedroom community with tourist attractions til 6pm. Terrific front desk to help with whatever you ask. Gorgeous rooms (I had a king suite). Excellent attention to details. Sausalito has lots of gorgeous views of the Bay and SF/​Oakland/​Tiburon, boats and lots of shops and restaurants. Note that this hotel doesn’t look out at the water, though I suspect you can see it from the park-​facing rooms.
Details:
–Rooms face either Bridgeway Street (quiet at night; most places close at 6pm), the park, or the roof of bldg next door, so ask if that matters to you. All rooms are on the second floor. There is an elevator to all 2^nd floor rooms, and a stairwell too.
–Our king suite was huge, but a friend said he was in the smallest hotel room he’s ever stayed in, though I don’t know which category his room was, so ask if it matters.
–Very comfy bed, couch, 3 – 4 low-​back chairs, multiple tables. Large armoire, plus a dresser, and a large hat/​coat rack by the door with at least 5 hooks. Two suitcase stands too. And still tons of open floor space.
–Very large bathroom; huge really. Huge walk-​in tiled shower is gorgeous with very good water pressure. It has no door but a glass half wall; water does not get into the bathroom.
–There are no refrigerators in the rooms. I brought a small cooler for food I wanted with me, and I replaced the melted ice twice a day. Their ice cooler is in the hall, and it is empty by morning every day but if you ask the front desk for ice, they fill it immediately. They give ample complementary water bottles too.
–No coffee maker in the room; you get coupons to Tutti’s café in the building (but enter from the street) for a free refillable coffee & a pastry (or banana or protein bar) per day at check-​in. Their tea selection is disappointing, but they make great eggs and oatmeal; pastries look dreamy. I asked about hot water maker for my room for tea and the front desk person gave me their own water hot-​pot from their office to use in my room during the week I was there; very generous. I like a tea at night.
–Parking is in the lot across the street (between the park and the ferry dock) for $ 15/​day which the hotel adds to your bill and arranges for you; put their placard on your dash, and tell the front desk which space number you park in; in-​and-​out privileges all day. You can park briefly on the street in front of hotel to unload your bags and settle in your room. Parking is ample on weekdays. On weekends the lot has more traffic between 10am and 6pm, but the hotel said they haven’t had a problem. We didn’t stay over a weekend.
I loved the hotel and would definitely stay here again.

The Sausalito Hotel is a wonderful location to spend some time. The staff is friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They have a number of great rooms that overlook the park and their largest suite can be reserved ahead of time. The room prices are affordable and appropriately priced for a «tourist getaway» location. Many shops and resturaunts are within walking distance. And there are many not-​so-​obvious shopping areas near by too, if you’d like to avoid tourist crowds. Visit Caledonia Street for a real treat! Currently it is a nice setting, away from the «main» Bridgeway Street and has a theater if you’d like to take in a movie.
The hotel rooms are comfortable and nicely appointed. Having stayed here many times, over the past 15 years, I can say the hotel is very well maintained. Always romantic and fun, the staff is a true gem here. They are always quick to help with suggestions for dining and shopping, not to mention the occasional bit of local news and background.
Great place to go for walks in the hills. And keep an eye out for those bicyclists. A favorite spot if you’d like to cycle (bring or rent). Not far from the hotel are several bicycle shops too. Lots to do in this small tourist location. And Hotel Sausalito is the perfect hotel to stay and enjoy them all!

Wonderful location. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Loved our stay. We will be back!

FANTASTIC and friendly customer service !!!

My new place to stay when I visit Sausalito. Stayed in the Park Suite, and it was a beautiful room that overlooked the main street. Lots of activity during the day but it settles down in the evening. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Very nice hotel. Spend the extra cash for the corner suite just above main street on the strip. It’s a little bigger with a nice view of the bay. In the morning grab a coffee and complimentary coffee and bagel and read the paper as the little city wakes up. It’s a charming city with lots of shops. We had a great run along the ocean in the morning and made love the rest of the day. ;)
I’ll be back.

This is one of the nicest, most charming hotels I have ever stayed in — way better than the expensive downtown SF hotels at double the cost. The staff was extremely pleasant and professional, the rooms were quaint and stylishing decorated, and the setting and price cannot be beat. Overall, the best deal in town.

This is a charming little hotel. Of course it’s a bit touristy, you’re in Sausalito, for Pete’s sake! The location is excellent — you can walk to lots of restaurants and you are pier-​adjacent so you can hop on a ferry and go into San Francisco.
The room itself was fine — not remarkable, but certainly comfortable. Staff were very friendly. Some folks seemed pissed to have to pay extra for parking, but that didn’t bother me. It’s worth it to avoid the hassle. Our room had a view of the park and the pier so there was always lots to look at. If you want to watch a lot of TV, go elsewhere. Our TV was tiny — the book I was reading was bigger than it.
I would definitely stay again. Unpretentious, nice little place in a sweet little village.

I thought this was a great hotel in a charming location, if a little touristy. I really liked the room and hallway décor. I really enjoyed staying here but forgot the name of the hotel, and just remembered sausalito, scottish something? (they claim to provide ‘scottish warmth’ and it just stuck in my mind as interesting) so i tracked it down. I’d definitely come back but probably won’t have a reason or need to do so.

Very quaint hotel and very cute inside. Our room is directly across the street from the ice cream parlor and you can people watch or you can shut the windows and it’s extremely quiet. Very friendly guy at the front desk. Parking is easy in the lot next door. It’s half the price of the expensive place next door. Very clean. Huge bathroom with a fancy shower! Great central location.

Hotel Sausalito served as our first destination for our 10^th anniversary trip. Their website is quite nice and the hotel is billed as a «bed and breakfast.» Well, upon talking to the folks at the hotel, I learned this isn’t quite true. You definitely get the bed (um duh, it’s a hotel stupid!) and the breakfast — well that is kind of dodgey. There is a café next door that you are given vouchers for a ‘pastry and coffee’ in the morning. What you get is Grade A, Costco quality muffins and croissants with the finest thermos pump coffe you’ll find in Marin. Considering that Hotel Sausalito is NOT cheap, and they do tease with the B&B angle, you should get a lot more than this.
The Wifer and I enjoyed a ‘park view’ room. The park view afforded us a wonderful view of hoards of European tourists fresh off the boat — the Blue and Gold boat from Pier 39, that is. Every two hours or so, there was this massive influx and exodus of people with euro-​accents flooding the quaint little park that served as the crown jewel of a crown made of $ 1000k minimum purchase boutiques.
For an extra $ 10/​night, you get to park in the gated municipal lot across the street from the hotel. Again, for over $ 200/​night, why the fuck isn’t this free? Is it that there is some kind of price threshold where there is a tacet understanding that you will be gouged for the most mundane of details and you will like it? Well, I don’t give Hotel Sausalito two stars because the room was nice, had remote control AC, and at least we could ferry to the city if we wanted (though it would take some Muni-​ing to get away from the tourist traps).
