The cleanliness and space

The hotel was great, we had the suite over the bar. It meant a great view, a great terrace, easy access to another drink (the bar selection was good, if a bit limited). The clientel was great, behaving well, yet having a good time! That is what a good bar should be. We took a walk around the neighborhood, and loved every part of it. Beautiful old and new houses and full of surfers. The water access was amazing. We could easily have used an extra day, which we might in the not too distant future; we might want to rent a boat if that is possible? We went across the street for breakfast; it was OK: What we got was good quality, the breakfast selection was a bit limited, but the coffee was excellent.

The food selection in the hotel was limited; my wife got fish, and it was overcooked. I got a pepper with cheese in it, which was great. We did not explore other dining options in Bolinas.
