The name is misleading. Its an outdated budget hotel located on a busy street, not the woods, and definitely not a lodge. I couldn't understand the registration clerk except she kept saying "upstairs ok?" I had specifically asked for downstairs because I can't carry things on stairs. The room was small and dingy looking, very outdated decor, and the bathroom was tiny and dark. I think it had a 30 watt bulb. The other lights were awkalwardly placed and either too bright or too dim. The refrigerator was small and everything in the top portion froze. The freezee obviously hadn't been defrosted in months. The microwave was tiny and made weird sounds. Apparently the room above us was occupied by elephants who liked to move furniture because they were quite noisy. I would definitely not stay here again.

Check in was fairly easy just took a second for someone to appear at the front desk. Property is nicely maintained, room was clean and stocked with amenities like soap and towels. My only thing to say that was interesting to say the least was the bathroom door did not close at least not in the room we were in, the latch itself was not moving. Other than that, close proximity to San Francisco, Muir Woods, Sausalito, etc. worth the value.

Overall a good place for the value . Upon arrival after check in time we were given room that wasn't ready . Initially we were asked to wait to which I didn't agree and we were given different room , actually with better location in the back of the building . The rooms in the front of the building face freeway which can be very noisy .
