Wouldn't check me in; lost my 4
I did not have my drivers license - had a passport and had my license downloaded from CA DMV. Would not let me stay, would not refund me. Terrible experience and I lost $100+ for the pleasure.

Coffee was good in the lobby/ but don’t call it breakfast. Woman at front desk not friendly. More concerned with talking to her friend on the phone both during pm check in and breakfast time. It met my needs. Chain hotel fod $40 more may have been nicer.

Recommendable
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.

Good hotel and service but has freeway noise
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.
