“Had the best of stays at Marconi Lodge. The first clue it was one step up from the average stay was that everything had a Marconi Lodge label on it.
Everything was provided and then some. Fridge, lock box, great soaps and shampoos, slippers, bathrobes. They even have free yoga on Sat and free S'mores for their large fire at night.”
“Stayed here for a weekend trip and loved it! The house/rooms are lovely and so is the owner. The location is a 4 minute drive from the visitor center and plenty of hiking options ? loved sitting outside on the deck during sunset!
Lots of quails and birds on the property!”

“Had a lovely stay at stay at Tomales Hotel. Booking was smooth and communicating with Rachel was easy and she was very responsive. We were in the area for the year round offering of the bioluminescence kayak tour through blue water kayak and it was such an amazing experience. The hotel is about 7 minutes from the boat launch. 10/10 recommend this hotel and the kayak tour! We stayed in room 9. King bed,ADA compliant bathroom so it’s very spacious. Room has a couch and swanky electric fire console. Bed and pillows are plush and comfy. It’s a sleepy small town, there’s a bakery across the street with great coffee and baked goods and I heard their pizza is off the hook! We visited end of July 2025.”
“We absolutely LOVED our time at the yurt. It's very tucked away and private, but easy to get up and down the coast. The yurt was clean and cozy. We especially loved having some breakfast items to tide us over until we could go into town to get some more goodies. :)”
“I come here at least once a year and love it. The accommodations are perfect size, clean, cozy, beautiful and one minute from the beach. The staff has been consistent, which is always a good sign. The are very helpful and nice.”

“This place is wonderful. I spent the weekend here with my partner and our dog, and it was the most relaxing trip. The cottages are soo cozy and stocked with everything you may need - ours had a fireplace, views of the water, and games and even books. We made sure to plan some time on the shared outdoor area with Adirondack chairs overlooking the water…truly the most peaceful location. Strongly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a relaxing time away.”

“This place is cute and quaint. There's a horseshoe pit, a pool, and a hot tub. I loved the little kitchenette in our room (#10). The room was clean. The only con was that our bed was very hard, but otherwise would recommend.”
“We had a wonderful stay and can’t say enough good things about this hotel. The management team is outstanding — incredibly professional, responsive, and truly focused on making guests feel welcome and cared for.
The location couldn’t be better, and the rooms are luxurious with every comfort you could want. The beautiful lodge building and well-kept lawn make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery.
We also loved that the hotel is dog friendly! It’s great to see that pets are welcome while still keeping things respectful — all the dogs were well-behaved and on leash.
All in all, a fantastic experience and highly recommend!”
“What a rare gem! These types of small B&Bs are becoming harder to come by. I’m so glad we found Bob’s place for a weekend staycation in Tomales Bay. Our room was clean, spacious, and had a clear view of the bay. Breakfast was simple and delicious, and Bob was a very friendly and helpful host.”
