Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms, although spacious, are showing signs of wear and tear, yet they possess an attractive simplicity that is quite charming. The location right on the bay offers a unique experience with tides coming in and out, along with occasional fog rolling in. The service, except for a slight hiccup with one staff member, was superb and truly made my stay memorable. The dining was good overall, with hot and delicious meals delivered right on time to the room.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely perfect. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering great privacy and a heated tile floor. The sound of the waves at high tide was so soothing, and having breakfast delivered to us was a wonderful touch. The only downside was that the room with two beds and a pull-out option was a bit more expensive than others, but it was worth it.
Staying at the hotel was a simple yet attractive experience. The continental breakfast was a nice touch, and the option for in-cabin delivery every morning was convenient. The location on the bay provided a unique ambiance with tides coming in and out, along with the fog. However, having two beds and a pull-out made it slightly pricier compared to other options.
My stay at Big Rock Cottage in Nick's Cove on Tomales Bay was absolutely wonderful. The location is breathtaking, the rooms were spacious and comfy, the service was outstanding, and the dining experience, although not entirely as advertised, was still delightful.
Staying at this hotel was a cozy and delightful experience. The rooms are charming and nurturing, offering super comfortable accommodations. The service from the staff, notably Angela, Allison, and Waid, was exceptional, making my stay memorable and comfortable. The location is incredibly beautiful, allowing for a deep appreciation of the natural surroundings. The dining, although delivered to the room, was hot and delicious. A one-of-a-kind location with excellent service, perfect for a relaxing getaway.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were fabulous, simple but in that very attractive way, and had two beds and a pull-out which made them a bit more expensive but totally worth it. The service was outstanding, with genuinely friendly staff; however, one barman on Sunday evening was a bit off-hand. The location was unbeatable, allowing for a deep appreciation of the natural setting. The dining experience was delicious and delivered hot to my door. Overall, a great hotel with a few minor drawbacks.
