Pleasant, relaxing, comfortable. Good location. Forget breakfast. It's just coffee and snacks.
What the....eco-friendly??? Don't know what that is or care so disregard that rating.
North Bay Inn was a good choice, glad to stay there.

Hotel was adequate for the price, but it’s right near the highway and very loud. Beds weren’t very comfortable.
2.0
The room was very clean and comfortable, and the hotel manager was very welcoming. Because I checked in around 6pm, I was told that the only room left was the room facing the street across from the freeway. The noise was tolerable going to be (white noise) but the sounds of freeway traffic woke me early in the morning. I'm hoping that a room further from the freeway, next time, will be more comfortable.

Liked the room space and comfort and the bed linens but not the towels - somewhat thin. Freeway noise somewhat bothersome.

The check in person was kind, accommodating, and friendly. The free breakfast didn't happen. I'm not sure why, but there was no food. I was told breakfast was 6am-9am, and we came at 7:30.

The shower was a horrible the shower curtain didn't work, water sprayed all over the floor every time I took a shower no bar soap no shampoo just a little dispensers that didn't work couldn't figure out how to turn the hot or cold water on, the air conditioning didn't work too hot or too cold the woman that checked me in was not very nice at all especially when I ask for another room she refused even though the hotel was empty. The housekeepers were wonderful they cleaned up the mess in the bathroom every day I wish I could get my money back from the hotel that's how bad it was! I was so uncomfortable there wasn't even a chair to sit on, there is a desk chair but who wants to sit on a desk chair to watch TV. Oh the window blinds on the windows were all broken so you close one and all the levelers wouldn't move you had to do each one individually because they were all broken on both windows, and every time I closed the door I had to slam it really hard or I didn't close the key was inadequate also. And another thing, no place to plug in my electronics everybody has a phone nowadays and everything else that's plugged into those things the only Outlet next to the bed had the lights plugged into it it was an unbelievably bad stay! Please help me get my money back thank you

Motel style accommodation. Good price and great location near major roads. I’ve stayed here quite a few times for work and it’s always been clean which is a must. Cannot fault it. Staff also welcoming.

Older, but up to date facility.
Rooms on the smaller side with no deck, but everything else was well done.
"Carry Out" breakfast only available after 7:30am, so we have no idea on what they provide.
There is a great small, but full service "Starbucks" like neighborhood place right at the end of the Motels parking lot.
Even saw 10-12 local policemen in there on Saturday morning !

Clean rooms but fairly old furniture. Right next to the freeway, not a great environment.

The room we had, the only king, had an uneven floor and burn marks in the carpet. Should have been an easy and inexpensive fix. But the room was decent for the value.

No can inside the ceiling light, mirror above sink is scratched as if it had something glued to it that fell off, receptionist was grumpy, and someone tore out of the parking lot in their car last night like they were running from a crime scene.

I liked that the pho restaurant and lots of breakfast options are close by. It is close to the freeway so it can have road noise at times.

What a lovely room - comfy bed, spacious roo., everything I needed. The freeway can be a bit noisy, but for a great room under $100, just take some earplugs.

Nice room and very clean place. Also very convenient on/off the 101 if you are heading into San Francisco.

It was over all pretty nice. The place was clean and the front office staff was very nice. The only problem I had at all was that the "breakfast" that was included was super limited and just pre packaged items like granola bars and some pastries.

It was wonderful, and I will book here again.
