Cavallo Point Lodge

We stayed at Cavallo Point Lodge to celebrate our 11 year Wedding Anniversary. We had such a wonderful time, we only went into Sausalito once, and ended up staying at the lodge and grounds the remainder of the time! We walked all over the area and just enjoyed the patio outside of our room. The staff was so friendly and helpful, from the check-in - registration staff, to the bell men, to the restaurant staff, to the Mercantile staff, everyone was so attentive and interested in our stay and comments.

Cavallo is excellent. The grounds are beautiful with amazing views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge. The spa is great. The restaurant is great. My wife and I went just as a couple and it was fantastic. Then we went back with our kids and another family and we all had a great time. It's especially unique that there is a great kids museum / play area within walking distance of the hotel. So once you get there, you really don't have to drive anywhere if you don't want to. It's all right there.

Very mixed feelings about this property. First, if you’re looking for a true first-class luxury hotel, this is probably not the place for you. The rooms are extremely subpar for the price. I’ve stayed in better Motel 6 rooms. The staff works very hard and is generally pleasant, but the overall operation doesn’t come close to the level you would expect from a luxury property. I honestly struggle to understand how this hotel earned two Michelin Keys. Perhaps the inspector had a particularly good meal, because the accommodations certainly don’t justify the rating. The location is excellent, and that’s the property’s strongest asset. However, the facility itself feels worn and not particularly well maintained. It seems as though they shopped at Restoration Hardware, filled the property with expensive furniture, and hoped that would create the impression of luxury. It doesn’t. The property can also be surprisingly noisy—and I’m not talking about the foghorns. There are plenty of other noises throughout the grounds that detract from the experience. In my opinion, the hotel is significantly overpriced for what it delivers. If you’re looking for a true four- or five-star luxury experience, save your money and book the Ritz-Carlton or the Fairmont instead. If you’re looking for an experience, have money to burn, and don’t mind paying a premium for the location and atmosphere, then you may enjoy staying here.

We traveled from PA to celebrate a 50th birthday with family and friends. Marianne, the concierge, went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Additionally, the staff was very accommodating providing a very comfortable "extra" bed to our room.

Amazing mini retreat with my wife. The amenities at this lodge are great. Staffs are helpful, room staff very attentive.
