"It was a very nice stay, the room, the grounds, the pool and the hot tub, as well as all staff members were very pleasant. The only thing that we found a little disappointing wasn't the lodge at all but the service we received at breakfest"

"Amazing property with the kindest staff. Staff went out of their way just to ask whether any help or directions were needed. The property was impeccable, restaurant top notch, and the rooms were spotless. Finally, the bed was one of the more comfortable mattresses we’ve slept on at a hotel in a long time. We will most definitely be returning. 10/10!"

Muir Woods Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed in their larger suite, Room 205. This room is a bit larger and more spacious. It has an adjoining kitchen area. The only concern I might have is that the kitchen area is not as well maintained as the rest of the room. As I had no need to use the kitchen, this was not a concern, but is worth noting if you do plan to use the kitchen--in which case I would recommend verifying with the staff that the kitchen is fully functional."
