This is really a lovely hotel. Not trendy, not stuffy, not pretentious. But clean, comfortable, with exceptional service. We loved the breakfast every morning. And the views of the city are quite remarkable! We will be back.

I took my family to Sausalito and The Inn Above Tide to celebrate my mother’s 80th Birthday. The rooms were perfect, offered a stunning view of the SF Bay, the city, angel island. The location is perfect, its a 1-2 minute walk from all the shopping and restaurants. And about an 10 minute drive to Ft Baker, the GGNRA, and the bridge. They offered a late checkout which was nice, and we were able to keep our car parked until later in the afternoon, allowing us another day of enjoying beautiful Sausalito. The entire staff is cheerful and provides a level of service that you may not find at larger, corporate owned hotels. We have visited several times and will continue to come back!

Located on the waterfront in Sausalito, California. Boutique hotel with pleasant architecture. The room is tastefully appointed. Luxury value with great views of the Bay.

Recently spent 2 nites here. Wow. Spectacular room and unbelievable view of San Francisco. Impeccable service. Free continental breakfast (can be brought to your room) and a whole bottle of.good wine in the afternoon with great local cheese. Called the desk for ice once and the guy was at the door almost before I put the phone down. You will not be disappointed!¡!!

I had one of the most incredible stay at The Inn Above Tide. After a long drive in from Tahoe, I was thrilled to hear they have a nightly wine and cheese reception. Brad checked me in and offered for me to enjoy wine and cheese in the sitting room off the lobby, or he could arrange to deliver it to my room (this sounded perfect and since I don't drink wine, they offered non alcohol options). I'm so delighted by this little touch and I haven't even seen my room yet. Brad hands me a key (yes, a real key, not the digital types that you have to go to the front desk to re-issue 3x over your stay) and I'm kindly escorted to my suite. Ok, the photos and videos don't do the view justice- it was way more impactful checking into my room and seeing the panoramic views of the bay at sunset. Then, to have my sparkling water and cheese delivered was the perfect touch. As I enjoyed it looking out the balcony, I immediately felt relaxed, comfortable and right at home. There were lots of restaurants within steps, but I took a bit longer walk to Caldonia street and enjoyed dinner at Osteria Divino. When I arrived back to the hotel, I wanted a tea and was pleasantly surprised to see they have a coffee and tea bar available 24 hours. After a great night sleep in the comfy beds, the breakfast of fresh fruit, pastries, quiche and more was a delight. This too I could have enjoyed in my room at no charge if I would have preferred, but I opted to enjoy in the sunny sitting room with my colleague who was also staying at the Inn. While my work was around Sausalito and San Francisco, I did have a meeting scheduled and it was hosted at the hotel's Founder's Room Suite. This is where I want to do business. The boardroom table was just off the kitchen and had AV setups for the presentation. It was an intimate setting with water views, natural light and excellent for our group of 7. I could see how it would nicely accommodate 8-10, or even a few more if there were a reception. I cannot say enough great things about the Inn Above tide and their General Manager, Mark and Assistant General Manager, Felipe. Anyone who stays is in excellent care with these two at the helm!

Just returned from a four-day stay at The Inn Above Tide and can't say enough good things about this jewel - a truly enjoyable and quality experience. The quiet room couldn't have been more comfortable or of higher quality. And the view across S.F. Bay - spectacular, especially at night from the balcony. Also, how many places offer complimentary wine and cheese at night? All in all, a delightful place with an intimate, upscale ambiance and very friendly staff.
