  We truly could not have dreamed of a better place to host our wedding weekend. From the very beginning of planning through the weekend itself, working with the Lodge at Marconi was such an incredible experience. One of the things we loved most was being able to have all of our guests stay together on the property. It made the entire weekend feel so intimate and special, and our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful and comfortable the rooms were. The A-frame was also the perfect place for us to stay as the bride and groom. It felt private and separate while still allowing us to be right there with everyone throughout the weekend. The property itself is absolutely beautiful. Being surrounded by nature made the entire weekend feel peaceful, magical, and distinctly Northern California. And one of the best surprises was the food at Mable’s. We knew it would be great, but we were blown away by how many of our guests went out of their way to tell us how much they loved the food. The entire staff was wonderful, thoughtful, and such a pleasure to work with. We genuinely have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience. If we could do the entire weekend over again, we would choose Marconi every single time. We feel so lucky that this is where we got married and could not recommend it more highly to anyone considering it for their wedding.

  Booked a room through a third party about 3 weeks in advance for a bike packing aniversy stop over. We arrived are were told our reservation had been canceled without notice due to some third party communication issues. The manager was nice and offered us drinks and drink vouchers and eventually provided us with a room that wasn't in use for some reason, though I'm not sure why. The room was fine and all was well after that until a couple weeks later when I got an invoice from the lodge directly for the rooms full amount, meaning was paying for a cancelled room twice. So then I had to call them twice and email them to get them to remove the charge. All worked out but very logistically frustrating any stressful.

  Absolute perfection! ​Our stay at The Lodge at Marconi was everything we needed and more. From the moment we arrived, it felt as though time actually slowed down. The rooms are incredibly comfortable, and having Mable’s right on-site was a major highlight as the food was truly outstanding. ​What really sets this property apart, though, is the setting itself. Waking up early to walk the peaceful trails and watch the landscape roll down into Tomales Bay was unforgettable. The location is perfectly situated to explore and enjoy everything the Marin coast has to offer. ​We only wish we could have stayed longer, but it is definitely high on our list to visit again. Highly recommend!

  Skip Mable's and go to Nick's Cove for dinner and Route 1 Bakery in Tomales for breakfast. I called to confirm my reservation after I booked a weekend for my partner’s birthday. Melissa was friendly and helpful on the phone, and even said she would put us up in her favorite room if it was available, which it was. It was 108 and a terrible recommendation. It opens right at the fire pit and you can’t have the curtains open even a little bit or people see you laying in bed, so we couldn’t even have natural light or the nice views of the grounds. No privacy whatsoever. There is also no fan in the bathroom. How is that ok? No fan is its own hotel for mold growth. There’s also no fan in the room, so it’s super stuffy and you have to open the window, but then you have the noise from the fire pit and parking lot. Barton was pleasant and did bring a portable fan to the room quickly to remedy the situation. The bed was also very firm and hurt my back. When we checked in, Barton was friendly enough and explained most everything, though failed to mention the WiFi, so I had to go back and ask. One final experience that was a bit off-putting was the lack of decorum. I don’t mind small talk with hotel staff and getting to know them a bit. I have worked in hotels as a sommelier and you chat with guests and ask about their day and where they’re from, etc., but I came into the lobby on Sunday afternoon with a glass of wine and a book and a card. I exchanged small chat with Barton and it was pleasant, but it was not busy in the lobby so he sat down across the room from me and we ended up chatting for 20 minutes or so. I couldn’t really tell him I wasn’t interested, but it was clear I was trying to write a birthday card for my partner. During that same interaction the general manager came in and talked to Barton. They discussed a few rooms and a few problems, and again, I’ve worked in hotels and hospitality, and those conversations should always be kept away from guests, even if seemingly not bad. Guests should never hear about the goings-on at a hotel and their experience should feel special and away from reality. I will say the lobby was clean and comfortable and the amenities with the waters and coffee and wine glasses and such was nice and always stocked. Coffee was decent and always hot. Grounds and the room were clean. I have a lot to say about Mable’s too. Service was lacking and not friendly. Not even a “welcome to Mable’s” by the hostess. My burger was not medium as asked and was practically mooing… Food service took very long, but the waiter did notice it before we said anything and did comp the appetizers, which was nice. We went to breakfast with the complimentary ticket the first morning, but skipped it the second morning. Also, no one explained what was included with the complimentary breakfast until our bill came and that add-ons were extra. $4 for bacon is criminal… Lastly, as we were leaving the grounds one trip, a tree had fallen across the road and had mostly been clear and cut up, but there were still large pieces of wood and debris on the road where cars drive so I had to drive very carefully so not to pop a tire. Much of the Lodge experience presents better on the website, but in reality feels dated and like management tried to use incremental updates to cover it up, like putting lipstick on a pig.
