Excellent walkable location. Excellent managers. Excellent breakfast.
The facility is old and worn but well maintained. I have stayed there twice.
Recommend rooms on the upper floor only. The small rooms on the ground floor are terrible. Do not accept these rooms. They have no outlooks. Windows open to a small utility area. Noisy.

The property is old. But it didn’t need to look decrepit. It could use an upgrade!
Robert
It was great!
Jaime
Clean room, very helpful staff, and great location!
Cindy
Comfortable and charming. Delicious cookies! Beautiful outdoor space for breakfast. Furnishings a little dated.
Katy
The hotel is very old and you will hear your neighbors. It's in a wonderful location though and my room was clean. The heater didn't work, but thankfully it was warm enough without it.
Mark
No sound isolation at all, thus not at all private. TINY room. TINY bathroom. TINY shower. All that is part of the historic charm, but not really a great situation. Still, we were happy to have stayed there. Excellent Italian restaurant adjoining and great olive oil and vinegar store on the block.
Jan
The staff were great and we so enjoyed this fun unexpected find! Free parking was included and an amazing breakfast was unexpected! We enjoyed it in the library but the open courtyard was beautiful too. Perfect in warmer weather. The bed was comfortable and plenty of hot water. There are stairs only to the second floor so plan for that.
Gregory
Overall pretty great experience and would definitely do again. Great vintage and homie feeling from the room itself. Breakfast was simple but very delicious. Great location for local restaurants.
Wynne
Such a sweet place. The staff was very accommodating and pleasant.

Super cute, cozy. Would like to see variety of breakfast options from day to day. Given the age of the facility, can be a bit loud/noisy first thing in the morning. The surrounding area is adorable, plenty of cafe's, dining options. Will stay again.
Carrie
Warm friendly staff and manager
Kim
Lovely place
Ian
We loved our stay at the San Anselmo. Very bed and breakfast vibes, neat history, clean rooms, and well kept. We also loved all the availability of shopping, eating, and travel in the area. You can walk to pretty much anything you want or need and if not plenty of ubers available for the area. The only negative for us was there was no AC. But, the rooms stayed cool when we were there. Mid October time frame. We kept the windows open so it helped keep it cool. Great stay all together and will come back when in town!
Valerie
Lovely decor; fascinating collection of maps, posters & old photographs. On the Main Street so you can walk everywhere in town. Spotlessly clean. Pretty outdoor dining space. Very helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Looking forward to coming back….
Gregory
Overall a nice stay, our room faced directly toward a concrete wall, which despite a beautiful day and weather led our room to feel dark and cramped. Very loud neighbors other guests as well which is not the fault of the hotel. They were able to make our room ready well in advance of check in which was helpful. Very nicely situated to walk the main stretch of San Aselmo which has lots of coffee/shops/food available.
Sally
Quaint. Great location. Parking easy.
Heather
Adorable inn in an adorable town
This inn is adorable and perfectly located in the middle of a walkable area. The hardest part was finding parking before checking in (and then moving my car to the right spot post-check in). I was greeted with the most amazing cookies, and a table with the room keys, but never actually met an employee other than food servers.
Fiona
Ideally located. Wonderful breakfast. Busy place downstairs with restaurant, but didn’t bother us.
Jean
The horel has no reception desk. You find your keys on a table as you enter. Our room had a double bed instead of the king bed that we booked. There was no one to talk to about it. No A/C and it was searing hot. No ice available. No parking right there.
Carla
Charming stay in San Anselmo
My friend lives a short walk to the hotel so how I picked this place. My friend and I had dinner at Valenti which was excellent and I had breakfast with another friend at Comfort's which is next door. The town is adorable and the hotel is charming. I loved the cookies by the entrance. Breakfast was lovely on my second day. Fresh fancy fruit!
Tina
Cute little inn. Inn keepers were very kind and helpful. Quiet during the day and night. Location is perfect for walking to shops and great restaurants. We will definitely be staying here again when we visit our daughter who lives in town.
Casey
Heart of Town, B&B feel, walk to great restaurants and shops!

A hidden gem, Boutique Hotel
While this charming little boutique hotel was quaint, the check in process was weird because there is no front desk nor staff. They leave a key in an envelope on a side table in a hallway next to an open door for the restaurant people. Room was clean. Toilet leaked when you flushed, shower wall needed to be replaced but they did have everything you need. Extra blankets, pillows, fans in your room. Complimentary breakfast in the morning was mediocre but we found a cute restaurant for breakfast. It wasn't what we thought it would be but we made the most of it.
Ruth
Very pleasant stay!
Xin
The hosts are very friendly. This is a family owned hotel. You’ll enjoy your stay.
Peter
I was stayong for one night. The room was small. But clean and welcoming! I was able to park closely to the inn. I was able to walk to the restaurant indoned at. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well. The breakfast was perfect for what I wanted.

My second time staying here. The charm is delightful. I love the ability to walk the area for coffee, quirky shops and delicious food.
Jonathan
Wonderful stau
Was staying here to easily access point Reyes and Napa valley. Lovely little hotel with a great history and in a great area.
Jeff
I really appreciated the check-in process
Richard
The Inn is like a European guest house. Very low key and welcoming. There is also a nutritious and well chosen complementary breakfast buffet.
Adrian
A little worn, could do with being redecorated, bathroom updating, and so on. No daily housekeeping unless guests request it during a limited time in the afternoon when they are likely to be out. Odd. Can’t put anything in the housekeeping tip envelope if there isn’t any! However, very convenient and acceptable in all other respects.
Barbra
Historic Inn is sure to Delight!
Wonderful slice of history in San Anselmo that also pays homage to Star Wars’ creator George Lucas who is a resident in this community. Very peaceful setting and walkable to a variety of nice restaurants and shops. Breakfast was delightful.
Lauren
Lovely and quaint. Walking distance to do many treasures
Jay
Nice, charming historic inn in the heart of downtown San Anselmo. Clean with all necessary amenities. Short walk to several nice restaurants, library and park. Convenient parking nearby.
Ellen
Wonderful place to stay in Marin!!
Bonnie
Massive Disappointment
Extremely disappointed! Thought I had booked a cute, well-maintained, converted historical building. Instead, I walked into what can be best described as a nice hostel. The patio and restaurant were closed. There was no reception - our room key was on a table in an envelope with my name on it. The building had an old, musty odor. Our room faced the alley so we were woken up by trash trucks emptying dumpsters. It was smaller than our son’s room. The bathroom was atrocious. Overall, the advertised pictures were seriously deceptive.
Liz
Really nice breakfast!
Joe
The property is in a great location and our room was nice but the bathroom and shower need an update. We plan on staying there against n as our children live in the area.
Patricia
The San Anselmo Inn is a sweet place to spend the night.
James
Super convenient location? Lots of dining and shopping options within walking distance. Places to hike nearby. San Anselmo is a tight knit friendly community, with a small town atmosphere.
No elevator to second floor, so be ready to carry your bag. And hot water never reached the sink, although there was plenty for the shower.
Staff there warm and accommodating.

Eric
The best inn I've ever been to. Patriotic and just adorable
Patricia
What a lovely, quaint and comfortable hotel. It has a sweet, European feel. This is NOT an ultra modern luxury property but a perfect local spot to experience the quiet authentic town of San Anselmo and its surroundings. The owners were super accommodating and the rooms clean with excellent beds and a breakfast spread in the dining room every morning. We were very pleased and will return for sure.
Sarah
No elevator! My room was so tiny that my suitcases took up the whole room. Didn't even offer a bottle of water.
Shyam
Bathrooms & toilets are not to my expectations.They need major upgrades.
Martin
Clean and comfortable room, quite small but good for a night or two. Can't rate the staff as didn't see anyone when we checked in and out! Only thing we weren't keen on is that washbasin is in the bedroom, with toilet and shower in the en-suite.
Kadidia
Nice
What a cute find! Would definitely stay again. Old Building but clean. They are currently remodeling. It was a bit difficult to find and where to park is not obvious. There also was no staff so a few more instructions on how to get there and where to get keys etc would have been appreciated.
steve
Very laid back place to stay
Kern
It’s hard to find anything *not* to like at the Inn. All of the above categories were just as I rated them. My wife and I would return without hesitation.
Megan
It was better than I imagined it would be. I’m so happy we stayed here.
Russ
Great little inn tucked away in downtown San Anselmo
Robert
Room was adequate. It was clean, but not particularly roomy for two people, i.e., not much room for luggage. Bathroom was extremely small. It was very quiet and the bed comfortable.
Janice
Owners runs their Inn with respect and courtesy.
They always do their best to make you feel welcomed and comfortable.

The inn is historic and well maintained. It was perfect for our one night stay.
Joseph
Very quaint inn with lots of charm.
Paul
It's a rustic building in the centre of San Anselmo. There are no restaurant facilities but there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. There's no reception desk and you will find your room key left in an envelope on a table and you have to work things out for yourself. If you want all of the facilities of a larger hotel like a reception desk, bar, gym, restaurant, elevators etc. this is not for you. But there is a decent buffet breakfast provided. The rooms are small and the shower room was tiny but OK for me as I was travelling on my own. It was all clean when I got there but housekeeping didn't visit at all in the 4 nights I stayed. Hotels in Marin are expensive and this place is well priced compared with the others in the area and fine if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower before spending the day exploring.
Gregory
Great place, great location.
We had a great time at the San Anselmo Inn. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the location was ideal for what we had to do in the neighborhood. I would suggest to anybody who likes a quaint place without all the other frills and whistles this is the place. I would also recommend to my family or friends.
Susanna
The cookies!!
Robert
So convenient. Very walkable to dining and activities. San Anselmo had this great street night where they closed the main road and everyone was out eating and listening to music, but when we returned to our room we didn't hear any of it. The furniture is a little sparce and worn out, but everything was clean.
mark
very good stay
Lorilee
If you want that dorm-motel feel
It felt like I was staying in a college dorm but with a bigger bed. No a/c, the accent wall was made up of shiny ply wood, parking across the street, my view outside was a concrete wall. It was terribly warm when I arrived and since there’s no a/c, decided to open the window but since it’s a Friday and there’s a wine bar downstairs, it was loud. Had one of the worst sleeps I had in a while
Verified traveler
It’s a little funky- older fixtures and the beds aren’t great. But the location is lovely and it’s a traditional old school Inn which is interesting.
Craig
Very nice..!
Charlene
Was just the place we needed for an overnight stay.
Cynthia
Such a quirky little place, it was smack in the heart of downtown San Anselmo. Quaint, clean and quiet, I was pleasantly surprised. Friendly and helpful host. Valenti’s restaurant directly next door was excellent. Loved my time here!
Cherry
Delightful small hotel. I was meeting a group for dinner and did not want to drive back to Sonoma Co. This was a perfect spot for me.
Tammy
Great Location - could’ve been better
I could tell they were trying to make this a boutique hotel. Not quite there yet Bed was very uncomfortable. Shower knob was broken and I had to borrower pliers to get a shower. Never saw any staff. I am hoping that they are working on getting in better condition.
Murray
Reasonable rate for the area.

Anniversary Weekend
Anniversary trip and San Anselmo was our home base to get to Point Reyes, Muir Woods, SF & Sausalito/Tiberon. Easy check-in, quiet and comfortable room, nice patio to relax with a bottle of wine. Cute town, very family and dog friendly. Would definitely recommend!
Jeffrey
overnight stay
Quaint little hotel, nice, but we never saw anyone, we picked up our key from a table and left the key in the room. The bed wasn't super comfortable, too firm and felt every movement, but overall it was fine. Quiet and restful.
Hiromu
effective check-in!
Holly
Everything was great and easy. Just wish the sheets were a little softer. They seemed a little l pill-ie
Mara
Quaint boutique hotel in the middle of town. Positives were we could walk to dinner easily and it was contactless check in/out. Negatives were the skinny hallways with only one exit, decent breakfast, but little flexibility on check out.
Brock
Charming town
San Anselmo is a wonderful place to visit with beautiful surroundings, shops and restaurants. It’s hard to believe huge cities are just over the small mountain. The Inn is the only place to stay right in town. The included breakfast was wonderful with fresh sweet strawberries every morning, and pastries. Check in was a breeze. It was so quiet at night that I thought we were the only guests in the whole place. No trafic noise whatsoever. That being said, my room was a bit shabby. Missing tile in the shower, poor paint job in the bathroom. The bed was OK but the pillows need a total re-do or bring your own. With a little help this place could be outstanding. The manager seems to really care about your experience. We also had the accessible room, I’m not sure why. If booking I would highly recommend the top floor with windows to the main street. I almost asked to see one for a future visit. Yes, I would stay here again, but definitely ask for a different room and hope the bedding is better.
Jennifer
Still adheres to pandemic self-check-in protocol, so I saw not a soul representing the hotel the 2 days I stayed. The window covering in the room did not entirely cover the window. Walls are paper thin. I stayed here a few years before the pandemic and it's the same -- but worse bc there's no breakfast buffet in the downstairs cafe/patio setting and housekeeping is only provided for an extra fee. The location - downtown San Anselmo - however, is excellent.
ANDREE
This was nothing fancy. Instead it was charming and quaint. The bed was super comfortable. Because it was March the room could have been chilly but we were provided a space heater to warm us up. Loved this Inn.
James
The San Anselmo Inn is very convenient to a friend's residence several blocks away. I was gone from the Inn most of the days I was visiting, returning early evening. Very pleasant and safe to re-enter my room for the evening. Benedict, the manager/owner(?) of the Inn was always very welcoming and accommodating. I was not at the Inn for the days that its' restaurant is open but heard very positive comments in the community about the quality of the food and service.
andre

Love the San Anselmo Inn
Been coming here many years — They have upgraded all of the rooms and bathrooms…as well as the lighting! Very comfortable! I’ll be back…
Patricia
Lovely Inn on Main Street
Wonderful old inn, but clean and beautiful beyond belief. So quiet and on a beautiful and quiet downtown street. Walking around was very enjoyable and different eateries in the neighborhood. Just incredibly gorgeous!
