Noisy, dirty, shabby, wi-fi didn't work. Did not want a wake-up call but got one anyway at 6am. More

This place needs some attention...a paint job, better lobby decor, and an upgrade of the bathrooms. And, what are those horrible blankets made of?? More

ok - it needs new carpet, a paint job and room furniture update but for $65 a night and a comfortable bed it works just fine. its a bit shabby but alma keeps it clean and brendan at the front desk keeps things humming along - and the morning coffee was real tasty. you probably won't want to spend your...

We've stayed many times at the Days Inn in Novato and have been pleased each time. Found that the rooms on the back of the property are much quieter. The garden/pool area is very nice. The breakfast included with the room was pretty good. More than just bagels and yogurt. Rooms are a little aged but clean. Our only complaint... More

We booked three nights and enjoyed it so well we added another night. The staff was excellent and knew the area very well. The room was nice and clean and very reasonable. We really enjoyed the amenities especiallly the breakfast. The pool was clean and refreshing and we even used the small fitness room a couple of times. The area... More

My friend and I were headed to Muir Woods and wanted a cheaper place to stay outside San Francisco that was still convenient to our destination. This fit the bill. The room was clean and the wifi was fast. The breakfast array was really good, not just wrapped pastries and juice but a waffle iron, toaster, etc. The beds were... More

We stayed here 3 nights. We needed an affordable place to stay. We walked in with no reservations and payed about $75 with taxes for 2 Queen beds. Very affordable considering similar hotels in the Novato/San Rafael area. We spent all day everyday out of the room. We generally always stay at a Days Inn when traveling. PROS: We were... More

when looking at some of the reviews for this Days Inn I noted that most were old dates, and was hoping that the the quality had come up to a good standard. And I was pleasantly surprised. Although the property is not new, I found it to be clean, and thats important to me. The room was clean, roomy, and... More

The hotel is as described on some of the other posts. One star basic room. Clean but is showing its age. The staff was very nice. Didnt get a chance to try the food. Make sure to ask for a room in the back otherwise you'll hear the freeway. I'd stay here again if nothing better was available (which was... More

I am a road warrior. I stay in a lot of hotels and motels and this is the absolute worse experience I have ever encountered. The cheap rate is not worth the health hazard of the filthy rooms. Avoid at all costs. The "free breakfast" is also a filth fest of stale bagels. More
