“Hotel Sausalito possesses a charm that's immediately apparent, with its location placing you steps away from the bay and Sausalito's inviting mix of shops and restaurants. I was particularly struck by the consistently positive comments about the staff, especially Robin, whose warmth and local knowledge seem to elevate the experience significantly. For travelers eager to leave the car parked and explore Sausalito on foot, this hotel presents a genuinely appealing option.”
