When I stayed at this location, I was told there would be a high tide and to park in a specific area. I parked in the area outlined on the map and woke up to my car under water. I asked the front desk staff if they could help with documents or anything at all, they scoffed at me and gave me the mangers card. I’ve emailed and called multiple times with no response back. The location and rooms are fine but don’t expect good customer service.

Super great staff, friendly across the board and the breakfast was well done with plenty of options of yogurts and breakfast sandwiches and bacon and cinnamon rolls and everything else you'd expected from a Holiday inn. In location... cannot be beat in relation to Muir woods and Golden gate bridge.
