Tomales Bay Resort & Marina, Inverness CA

Nice place-exceeded expectations. Clean super comfortable rooms, great proximity to whatever you want to do, nice view of the bay. Friendly staff too willing to offer suggestions on what to see and do. First time to the Pt Reyes area and staying here helped make the visit perfect

While staying at the hotel, we did not have hot water for two days and our toilet flooded the entire bathroom. We had maintenance crews in and out of our room throughout the stay. While I understand that sometimes things happen, the way that management handled our experience was incredibly unprofessional. The actual hotel staff was incredibly sincere and helpful - but also noted that plumbing issues at the resort are frequent. I was told to call the management team on the weekday following our weekend stay. It took them four days to "investigate" the cause and when I finally received a call back the reparations were laughable and the manager, Jeff, was defensive and essentially dismissed that there was any issue at all.

I recommend searching amongst the many other available accommodations in the area to support more honest businesses.

It is a pleasant waterfront spot, but so over priced. Vinyl flooring and thin walls allowed us to hear the basketball game in the unit next door. It wasn’t on tv, they were playing. The next morning we had the joy of being woken by the knocking of the cleaners vacuum on the other side units furnishings.

Booked through the Resort's website, only to get a call 3 months later saying the rate I booked at wasn't valid and that I had to pay 70% more. Wasn't even offered a discount or anything. Pretty poor customer service.
They also treated me like I did something wrong, when all I did was book the room directly through their site.

EDIT: As can be seen from many recent reviews and responses from ownership, the owner likes to have excuses and blame the age of the buildings or inanimate objects (computers) for mistakes that were made by the people in charge. I would happily pay for other establishments in the area, or further up the beautiful California coast.

Nice motel on the bay. Clean modern rooms with Keurig & a microwave. Comfortable beds. Close proximity to Pt Reyes seashore. Great market at Inverness Park a few miles down the road. Terrific breakfast and lunch sandwiches and home made salads.

Came here on a Sunday - Tuesday, the place was empty and had a beach to ourselves. We brought a kayak, and a paddle and had a great time.

We had a Bay View room and found it to be lovely! Located on the West side of Tomales Bay on the Point Reyes peninsula a National park with tons of hiking and biking trails. This is the quiet side of the bay. Kayaks are available to rent. We enjoyed listening to the gentle lapping of small waves outside our open door. Lovely sunrise view across the bay. We'd love to go back!

Thanks really enjoyed my two night stay here. The rooms were cute and clean with a great view. The staff were absolutely awesome- so nice! My one suggestion for improvement would be to provide more seating by the pool and beach area for guests.

Liked the place.location is great, service was good and attentive.rooms could use some facelift, especially the kitchenet

I was stranded in inverness after getting sick during a backpacking trip and plans fell through to stay anywhere else so I ended up at this resort. Their hospitality was excellent and they helped me get groceries and medicine. I'm really greatful to the staff for everything they did to help accomodate me during my short and unexpected stay

We had to do a late check in and John was very agreeable and helpful. The service was fantastic and the resort was clean, beautiful, and has a great location. Thank you Tomales Bay Resort!

We were stuck in mid of no where on way from point Reyes with no network. Some passer by s helped us to reach the nearest town where we could get connectivity and call for help. Manager Kevin and staff of Tomales Bay Resort & Marina was extremely kind and helped us by providing a conference room, wifi, and hot coffee in the freezing cold at night for our entire family and friends. We can’t thank Kevin and the resort enough for being so considerate and understanding. The hospitality reflects the care and compassion the staff shows to the customers. We highly recommend everyone to visit their resort while at Point Reyes. Thank you Kevin and Staff once again.

Wonderful little inn! I stayed in one of the poolside bungalows with my wife and mother-in-law in March and we were all very happy with our stay. The room was clean, appliances worked well, beds were comfy. We especially loved the fireplace and the private patio area. We arrived after check in and the staff was still able to get us our keys quickly and let us in. The price was fantastic as well. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

We only stayed one night and paid $250 for the room with a view of the water. The room was fine, clean albeit a little in need of a paint touchup. The area has tons of mosquitoes but there was a flyswatter under the trashcan. No utensils but there was a bottle opener.

Great and beautiful location. The room we stayed in was a bit dated but very clean and comfortable. The restaurant was closed due to staffing issues and the pool was also closed, we weren’t informed until we arrived. Those are the only reasons for the four star review. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

For a last minute stay, tomales bay resort had been a real enjoyment. Warm welcome and very well designed accommodation and resort. Unfortunately I didn’t have enough time to enjoy the whole location. Still dreaming to return.

We just stayed one night.room was ok with hot water, beds etc. For the price it was not worth it.the resort is just next to the bay and it has a nice pier to hang out. Has a kayaking rental right next to it if you are into. Its close to north Beach, drakes, point Reyes lighthouse and to the station.location wise it was spot on. I was let down by their doors which did not close properly and the price which I thought was a bit steep. I would have given a 4 if the doors weren't a problem as I really liked their location

We recently stayed 2 nights here. Great location, close to anything in Pt Reyes; able to go kayaking next door. Nice place to just sit down and hang out, on the beach or on the wharf.

Tomales Bay Resort is very expensive for what it is: a clean room in a dated, somewhat run-down facility. The pool was green with algae, and there are no beaches nearby that you can really call a beach (though pool and beaches are advertised on their sign). You're paying for the close access to Pt. Reyes; but wow at $150/night, it absolutely did not feel worth the money.
