We just love this hotel...from the lovely evening wine & cheese by the fireplace to the excellent full breakfast with cappuccino's or latte's, it's done better than most. The same breakfast items, but such high quality. The Watermelon, just for example, is cut in large triangles with the rind remainingm so you know it was just sliced! The scrambled eggs... More

Acqua is an unexpected oasis of contemporary calm right off of I-101 in Mill Valley, on the frontage road. It's built in a way that the freeway noise doesn't penetrate to the rooms, which I found to be a delightful surprise. Rooms all overlook Richardson Bay and Mt. Tamalpais, and are done in soothing neutral colors and luxurious materials, and... More

Having stayed in the usual locations in SF a few times, we decided to stay in Mill Valley and explore further a field. The room we had was comfortable and clean and tidy. The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great and set us up for the day. Of the four hotels we stayed out on this trip,... More

This hotel has a contemporary, minimalist feel and employees are helpful and friendly. Hotel is well located and well priced. Be warned though: be sure you don't get one of the rooms next to the highway if highway noise bothers you!

We were traveling with our 2 very young kids (2 years and the other 9 months) so it was important to find a clean family friendly hotel. We booked... More

We had a Jr. Suite with a balcony overlooking the water. At five o'clock at night, wine and cheese was offered in the lobby as well as a... More

Friendly, helpful staff. Terrific breakfast available from 6:30 to 10 each morning. Lydia and Isadore do an excellent job and their pride shows in the preparation and organization. Lovely freshly sliced melon and pineapple every day, too. Clean, well-designed modern rooms with orientation to Richardson Bay and the outdoors. Geese, ducks, gulls, herons are plentiful and you may see deer... More

I stayed at the Acqua during a particularly trying time: I'm from very near Boston, and had to do a business trip 2 days after the Marathon bombing in Mill Valley. My business associate booked me into the Acqua, and it was a true blessing to be in such a place during that very trying week. I had a fireplace... More
