Lodge at Marconi

Lodge at Marconi

10/10 Excellent
"We visited Marconi for the first time, and we were really happy we chose to try a new place. The lodge sits on a beautiful historic property surrounded by nature, and the setting alone makes the stay feel special. Thoughtful design details are evident throughout, from the modern rooms and top‑quality beds and linens to the well‑appointed grounds and amenities. The lobby offers filtered and flavored waters, coffee, and even Friday movie nights for kids, which was a fun touch. The rooms are peaceful and modern, and they do not share many walls, which makes them feel quiet and private. We did wish there were a few more quiet outdoor seating or gathering areas. We eventually found a perfect spot overlooking Tomales Bay where we enjoyed a lovely picnic. Overall, Marconi exceeded our expectations, and we are glad we discovered it. Breakfast options left a bit to be desired, this might be the place for biggest improvement."
