The hotel is situated in a lovely location. Rooms were nice and clean. There was a slight odor, but being so close to the water it not surprising with humidity. The grounds are very well maintained and the staff very pleasant.
We had a nice clean room with a view of Tomales Bay. It was quiet which is good. There is a nice pool and beach and kayaks. It was not inexpensive for what it is but we would go there again.
The room was spotlessly clean. Bathroom was maintained well.
Location is so close to the bay it looks very nice to stand and watch the bay. There is no restaurant or breakfast option in the resort currently. But you have options within 10 mins of drive.
This place is excellent. We were in town to see a show in Point Reyes and even though it is not super close, the pet friendly room on the corner (#14) had a sweet view right on their harbor and its own parking space. I did not know there was also a swimming pool till I got there. Great clean room and nice people at the front desk. Short little drive to food and drinks. I will be back!
5 stars for the wonderful location and staff. The mattresses were comfortable and it was nice to have a frig and microwave. The room itself was dated and needed renovations.
Cozy and comfortable, great location. Definitely recommended

Let's put it this way...you're not staying here for the room. You're staying here because it's on the water...rooms are dated so expect that and all is good.
Very nice check in. We loved the quiet at the resort. The dogs were happy in the room, as were we.
Close and pretty drive to two cute towns with restaurants.
Excellent location for exploring Point Reyes National Seashore. It is close to Sir Francis Drake Blvd, but after the park closes there is little to no traffic noise. We came in early March & it was very peaceful with few people staying at the resort . There are no dining options close by but Point Reyes Station is a short 5-10min drive. We stayed in the basic double room. It was clean, but walls are a bit thin and we could hear neighbors talking. Bathroom was clean but had no counter space in sink area. Overall recommend staying here and next time we will get the newer constructed rooms with a bay view.
