Hotels near Tomales, CA

“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.”

“The Lodge at Bodega Bay is a total gem! The rooms are seriously spacious, giving you plenty of room to spread out and relax. We loved chilling by the outdoor fire pits, soaking up the coastal vibe. And don't even get me started on Drake's restaurant lounge – the live music was a fantastic touch, making for some really fun evenings. Definitely a top spot for a chill getaway!”

“Great stay at Bodega Harbor inn! The rooms were clean and fresh smelling, beds comfortable and nice pillows too. This is a great little spot to getaway for an affordable price. It’s a classic beachside motel with no frills. I stayed in room 6, They offer 2 pet-friendly rooms for an additional 25$/night fee. No breakfast but the coffee/tea bar opens around 9 am.
Management is in-and-out, so there isn’t always someone there when you might want them, but expected for a small family owned place. I was able to check out about an hour early at 10 am. The bathroom window did not have a screen and the room could really use a fan for air circulation.

If you’re looking for affordable, easy access to sonoma coast SP, dog friendly and clean and comfortable, this is the place! A great alternative to the fancy villas and resorts elsewhere on this part of the coast/sonoma county. Overall, this was a great spot for my dog and I to spend the night in our favorite sleepy beach town!

Nearby activities: Doran beach, Sonoma coast state park, paddle boarding/kayak in Jenner, 30 mins to occidental, Sebastopol, and Gatlin. Hiking at the Grove of Old Trees ~20 minutes away

Safety: Standard door lock and padlock. All windows (2) lock firmly. Close quarters to other guests but they were mostly families with children and couples.

Food & drinks: Fishetarian is the best food I’ve found in BB, after years of vacationing here. I recommend Sebastopol or Gatlin (wildwood cafe) if you’re looking for a more upscale/quality that isn’t fish and chips or fried prawns.

Noteworthy details: Dog friendly for a fee in 2 of 10 rooms”

“Our stay at Marconi was fantastic. The location is beautiful and feels remote, but you can get amazing food within a few minutes drive. There is wonderful hiking and kayaking nearby, and even a hiking trail on the property. The lodge itself was great - nice rooms, helpful staff, outdoor games, and a cozy fire pit where we had a glass of wine before dinner. I hope to bring kids and friends back in the future!”

“Stayed here a few years back on a 10th wedding anniversary trip.
This area has to be one of the most beautiful places in the US.
One of my all time favorite memories is staying at this B&”

“We rented a cottage with a loft. The cottage was cute, and had everything we needed. We were able to cook a meal one night in the kitchen. Salt and pepper were provided, as well as tea and coffee, and hot chocolate packets for the kids. We had to call housekeeping and request a new sponge to clean dishes, as the one provided was old and stinky. You are required to wash your dishes before checking out so we wanted to have a clean sponge. The loft had two trundle beds for our boys, but it was hot up there, even once it cooled off outside. We had a window open and a fan blowing all night, so it finally cooled off but was cold downstairs. The kids seemed okay but my 12 year old complained a little. I’d recommend this for younger kids who can climb steep stairs without trouble. The beds and bedding were comfortable and having a dining table was nice. The location of the cottage was perfect for all of our adventures while in Point Reyes. We would stay here again.”

“Great weekend getaway spent here. Plenty of amenities enjoyed. The pool, spa, outdoor games and movie with campfire s'mores made for a fun day. This location is near the beach and plenty of restaurants. Rooms were clean and spacious that felt cozy with the fireplace. They really thought of the little things here to make our stay enjoyable.
We definitely will return”

“We stayed here with our toddler for two nights. The cottage was cute, and just the right size. Very clean. The bed was very comfortable, but the sofa sleeper was only ok.

The location was fantastic. Such an easy walk to the beach and we could watch the sunset from our room or the shared patio area.

There aren’t a lot of restaurants nearby. But the small grocery on the property is great. The restaurant wasn’t open during our stay, as they are only open Thursday—Sunday.

Overall, I highly recommend. Good for families or romantic get aways.”

“Very nice place. Mattresses were a bit soft for us. Pool could have been cleaned more often lots of flies were in it the first day of swimming. Sauna ,hot tub and gym were wonderful.”

“Because of the attractive price I was a little wary of what it would be like. The room was very new and comfortable. Learning to use the electric fireplace heating system was new to me. It was very quiet. The bathroom was extremely well lighted and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone including a family. There was just two of us.

Nearby activities: The espresso coffee shop is definitely worth visiting, especially if you like coffee in the morning.”
