My husband and I had such a great experience here. Shannon was nothing but wonderful and friendly with great information on things to do, places to go. She printed out a menu from a restaurant for us, although we ended up getting food at the market down the street and eating in the main room by the fire and drinking... More

Inverness? Or Motel? This is a wonderful place and they owners are very service oriented. If you want to be in Inverness, close to the Bay, and not far from beaches, lighthouse, park and other outdoor activities than this is a very reasonable place to stay. If you fixate on 'motel' then you will notice small rooms, upgraded bathroom/shower (small)... More

We stayed here recently on a quick overnight trip to Point Reyes National Seashore. It is well located for visiting the seashore and the Tomales Bay area. Service was excellent, staff was very helpful. Three high points I will list. The Lodge room is excellent and roomy with good views of the bay. There is usually a fire in the... More

This facility feels more like a lodge than simply a motel. It's located directly on Tomales Bay and is minutes from Point Reyes headlands, Drake's Beach, the lighthouse, Point Reyes Station and frequent wildlife encounter opportunities. Lynn and Shannon make sure that your needs are met and spare no opportunities to make sure your visit is pleasant.

Lodge room has fabulous views of the marsh with abundant wildlife. Hummingbirds constantly at the feeder on the large deck, and lots of ducks and egrets in the marsh. Room was small but comfortable and clean. Be warned when trying to find the Inn, GPS signal was lost long before I got there. Bring a map! The office is generally... More

There were renovations going on at the motel itself, so the proprietor upgraded us to the rental house, SO nice. The house has every modern amenity you could want, and looks like it was done by an upscale interior decorator. Lots of space indoors and out, views amazing. Location great for exploring the area. This is a great deal for... More

Rooms are small; but you are able to use the Lodge Great Room at any time of day, where you can sit by the fire or watch the birds out the window facing the bay. There is a catwalk where you can walk over the marsh and enjoy the wildlife for hours. Great views throughout the motel. Rooms have a... More

My wife and I spent two nights here while we explored Point Reyes. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The back deck has a beautiful view. My wife and I enjoyed the large common room where we played pool and cards at night. One of the other guests built a fire that we all enjoyed. We... More

This is a motel, not a b&b, or a boutique hotel or whatever. This is small motel right on the Inverness Marsh (Tomales Bay). Most rooms are standard motel rooms opening onto the parking lot. The view from these rooms is through the bathroom window.Some rooms have been converted to "view rooms" by adding a window, door, deck on the... More

A 1950's remodeled 7 room motel. A great bargain at the coast of California. It's on Tamales Bay and has a great view from the motel. Small rooms at the lodge building but if you get one with a deck you'll love sitting out at all times of the day and watching the birds and the bay. They don't serve... More
