Hotel – Marin County, CA

If you find yourself in Marin County, CA but your meetings don’t take you all the way up to Napa, the Courtyard Marriott in Novato is usually reasonably priced when compared to San Francisco and South Bay.

Gym info: this is the only hotel gym I’ve ever found to have battle ropes (as of December 2018). They have two treadmills, elliptical, a true spin bike and a weights thing.

Surrounding area: within walking distance (same parking lot) is a Safeway grocery store, McDonald’s for you McNugget fans and some other restaurants which honestly I’ve never made it to and I’ve stayed here multiple times

Local run: here’s a path that will take you to a look out spot not too far from the hotel, full round is around 2 miles

Breakfast: This hotel does not offer a breakfast buffet. I prefer a free buffet breakfast because I like breakfast protein however they did make a really tasty omelet with gruyere cheese, onions and bacon.
