Re: Wedding night romantic getaway in the Bay Area (March 2005)
The Claremont Hotel is a fairly traditional choice in the East
Bay - but my money's on the Inn Above Tide in Sausalito. Every
room sits right on/over the water, providing a simply
spectacular view. There's valet parking, so being in the heart
of the Sausalito shopping district isn't a problem. The staff
is friendly, warm, and helpful. And then there's the biggest
selling point: the beds. Oh my! I've stayed a lot of places in
my life, including the Claremont, but I've never slept in such
a plush and cozy bed. And for a romantic getaway, something
that makes it even harder to get out of bed in the morning
isn't a problem. :)

Re: One-night getaway on the Marin/Sonoma Coast
(Oct 2003)
We were looking for something similar for our wedding
anniversary last spring and we found in Sausalito, at The Inn
Above Tide. It's in town but off the main street and right on
the water, so the views are brilliant. We got to our room and
weren't happy that, although facing the water, our balcony was
also facing the walkway next to the small harbor - so they
upgraded us to an even bigger room with an ENORMOUS balcony, at
no extra charge. The rooms were tasteful and serene, with a
large bathtub and a fireplace (complete with rolled newspaper at
the ready to start things going). As well, they have a
complimentary wine and cheese reception in the early evening -
and are quite generous with the helpings of wine! We were there
midweek, when prices are a bit lower (not terribly cheap there
but well worth it!!!!!!!) and it wasn't fully booked (making our
upgrade easy) so I can't speak for the weekends. However, it was
beautiful, right in town for a little walking around, dining,
shopping, etc., and the room was gorgeous - although we spent
most of our time in the fluffy bathrobes on our tremendous
bayfront balcony. Give them a call - well worth it!

Bay Area Discovery Museum
Nov 1997
The Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito is another good
place. Might want to add a link to their
page at the Science Education Academy of the Bay Area (SEABA)
web site at http://www.fwl.org/seaba/members/badm/badm-desc.html.
I've searched some, but I haven't found a more official home page
for them; I'm surprised. Duff
