“Nestled near the marshlands of Mill Valley, this location serves as a convenient base for exploring the natural beauty around the Bay Area. It's particularly well-suited for film crews, given its proximity to the Mill Valley Film Festival, and the hotel even tailors amenities for film productions. I think the blend of practical features and access to the outdoors makes it a solid choice, provided you check the tide tables.”
