Katherine in the cheese and wine lounge also went above and beyond, I'm not a great fan of wine

Instead of traditional heating and blasted air conditioning, the building has some kind of radiant hydronic heating and cooling system.

I called the hotel and was informed that there is no aircon in the whole hotel.

The thermostat was as low as it could go.

Only problem for us was that the room was so warm (in winter, with thermostat adjusted and windows open) that we did not sleep well at all.

The staff told us that they will be updating rooms soon (bathrooms, heating&cooling systems) - I hope they don't change this lovely hotel too much!

I understand that the hotel will close this year for major renovations: new carpets, air-conditioning and elevators.

No views, and no air-con (although you don't really need it).

but didn't help with luggage or discuss some of the room's quirks - like the lack of a central HVAC system.

We (including or children) definatley embraced the age and character of the structure, including the small 100 year old elevator and old radiator heaters in each room.

There is no air conditioning in the rooms.

To stop them from doing this you would need to turn the radiator off which then meant there was no heating in the room.

Heating and windows are a bit old school,

If there was a negative to report it would be the lack of AC,

The atmosphere is quiet and refined without being the least bit stuffy.

The evening cheese and wine hosted by Catherine was a great way to start a night out and we thoroughly enjoyed all the wines we sampled.

Cereal, cheeses, lox, fresh jams and jellies, a vast variety of stuff to stuff on your tray as many times as you want.

but she went out of her way opening several bottles until she sourced one that I found enjoyable, also, the food in the lounge for breakfast and the evening wine and cheese was delicious and plentiful.

Wonderful evening California wine reception with cheeses, charcuterie, fresh fruit available every evening from 5-7pm.

The food is first class, at breakfast and the happy hour  is much more than just wine and cheese.

The nightly wine, cheese, and a lot more was plenty of dinner for us also in the dinning room.

While there isn't a full service restaurant, they host an evening wine reception with extensive and thoughtfully prepared snacks - artisanal cheeses and charcuterie, salads, fruit, savory bits.

Complimentary breakfasts were better than most hotel choices, and the complimentary daily wine and cheese (plus many other dishes) from 5pm to 6:30pm was fanstastic.

There are delicious ripe berries, breads, pastries, eggs, meats, cheeses, cereals, juices and smoothies.

Breakfast was out of this world with fresh squeezed juices, smoothies, protein drinks, fruits, pastries, cheeses, smoked salmon, oatmeal, cereal, spreads, eggs, etc.

Our highlight being John's evening selections from the excellent array of local wines and cheeses.

The complimentary breakfast is amazing, with homemade scones and other pastries, bacon, fruit, smoked salmon, cheese, etc., etc., etc., plus the world's best coffee!

The breakfast is quite a spread,  including a selection of smoked salmon, meats and cheeses, along with an excellent selection of fresh fruit and baked goods.

For breakfast besides a beautiful spread of yummy pastries, fruits, cheeses, yogurt and granola, they also had fresh made smoothies and juices.

The breakfast, which I suppose was considered "continental", presented the most remarkable array of fresh fruits, cheeses, pastries and assorted other delights we've ever seen.

2) free tea and coffee downstairs (and apples) 3) amazing breakfast buffet - beautifully presented and served in a lovely light airy room - huge choice even scones and clotted cream for breakfast 4) fantastic free wine and cheese in the late afternoon -

She was delighted when we arrived and was even more so once we had been served complimentary wine and cheese in the dining room.

Great service and staff, very clean and quiet, delicious breakfast and predinner wines with cheeses and fruit.

Rolls, bagels, a vast array of the good stuff, i.e., cheeses, smoked fish, avocados, juices, marmalade, etc., etc.--of course Oh, do you want a latte?

the buffet breakfast had the most delicious, fresh
fruits, fish, meats cheeses , breads and even handcrafted preserves.

We only stay in rooms with a deck because each has a full unobstructed view of the Bay and San Francisco on a clear day.

Rooms with a balcony are perched out over the bay, with a view of bay bridge and downtown SF.

It had an amazing panoramic view of the bay bridge , Alcatraz island , the passing boats,  kayaks and even swimming sea lions in the the water .

Got the keys to the room - yes, real keys - and walked in to see an incredible view of the Bay.

It rained for the majority of our stay and our room was perfect for sitting by the fireplace and looking out at the most beautiful view of the Bay.

The panoramic views of the Bay, Tibaron, Angle Island, Bay Bridge, Sailboats, tankers, Gulls and a couple of friendly seals, and of yeah San Francisco nboth day and night are really just spectacular.

although small, was a perfect place to relax with a drink and take in the views of the bay.

The gem of the Panoramic Suite is definitely the spa tub which as views of the bay from the tub.

Even if it’s a bit chilly I always enjoy my coffee on the deck overlooking the bay.

Our room and balcony had a drop dead view of the Bay.

Their location in Sausalito is the best, with jaw-dropping views of the bay, the city, and Angel Island.

Our room also had a fireplace and an extra balcony with a view of the bay.

Imagine you're in this elegant, spacious room on a yacht in Sausalito overlooking the Bay, Angel Island, and the San Francisco skyline.

We frequent the hotel and this weekend due to Bay Area smoke we had a King room with deck overlooking the bay and first evening was divine.

The room hovered right over the water, had a BEAUTIFUL bay view of San Francisco and a glass balcony.

Can't fault it, very comfortable room with excellent views over the bay.

A former 3-story luxury waterfront apartment, the building was remodeled as a luxury hotel.

The room elicited an “oh wow!” From my partner and we settled in to the room with its stunning glass fronted balcony, ultra luxurious bed and stunning view.

Hotel amenities: The two things that really put this place over the top in terms of a luxury hotel are the breakfast and the wine and cheese hours.

Overall it felt a like a luxury experience in picturesque Sausalito and I would say it was worth paying that bit more to stay in one of their beautiful rooms.

but the rest of the hotel is excellent too, with comfy beds and a luxurious bathroom.

We made the decision to stay in Sausalito to escape the bustling ambiance of San Francisco, and we were very grateful for that choice.

We will only stay here for future San Francisco visits.

This is the only place to stay when visiting San Francisco!

The ferry dock, which carries passengers the short trip across the bay to San Francisco, is literally right next to the hotel.

but Sausalito, CA is a whole another world completely different from San Francisco.

A few steps from the San Francisco ferry, staff were welcoming and enthusiastic, making us feel instantly at ease.

All the rooms face the water and offer fabulous views of the bay, Alcatraz Island and San Francisco city.

The view of the bay, downtown Sausalito, and San Francisco skyline were amazing!

Our room was on the small side for the $800+ price.

A beautiful aroma as we entered our room from the small flower (not sure what it was called) sitting on the side.

We had the choice of delivery to our room, taking a tray of items to our room or enjoying in a small room off the lobby (our choice).

Our first room #101 was a little too small and was lacking enough hanging space or drawers to make our three day stay comfortable..

The low celling, the 70's bad furnitures, the small room "the deck" were all your neighbors can see you and listen at your conversations, and you at theirs.

Our room was small and comfortable..cozy, I would say. We spent very little time there

The bathroom in our room was small and had a combination shower / tub with a curtain.

The room itself is so small there it was difficult to get comfortable.

Although the rooms are small, the fantastic view of the Bay more than made up for it.

Rooms are tastefully updated and attentive staff and amenities are fantastic - breakfast buffet delivered to your room if you like and complimentary wine and cheese every day at 5.

A bottle of wine with the charcuterie was waiting for us in the room (They have a wine and cheese reception daily from 5-7 pm) .

An added feature is the wine and cheese served at 5 o’clock, and available in your guest room upon request.
