Casa Madrona

Casa Madrona is smack in the middle of Sausalito and has been there for a very, very long time. They recently expanded in to what was formerly an indoor shopping mall called the Village Fair. The old rooms were all themed differently, with varying styles, prices and views. It's rather expensive, but everyone I know that's stayed there has loved it. Climbing up the hillside, the views are unmatched.
We stayed only one night at this lovely hotel, on the final night of a touring holiday of Northern California and it was certainly one of the highlights. We wanted to end our holiday in a romantic, older-style character property and this certainly met our requirements. We did not eat at the hotel but it was located on a hillside (lift to rooms and steps down to the 'sidewalk; if you preferred the exercise). Our room had a little balcony overlooking the marina and, apart from a 'tired' bathroom, which we felt needed some TLC, it had such a wonferful view and location that we were very satisfied. We had a picture window running across most of the bedroom, which also had a working fireplace and very comfortable bed. Valet parking makes life very easy, on arrival and departure. Parking could be a problem if you do not pay for this service.
The hotel and its wonderful views over the water and marina, from its elevated position, are lovely.
