Although the wedding is in Sonoma County, parking is highly limited, so we are providing a bus to transport guests to the site. The pickup location for the bus will be Larkspur Landing (aka Marin Country Mart). This is just across the bay from San Francisco. We will be using Larkspur Landing as a hub for wedding activities. It provides easy access to San Francisco via the ferry, as well as Santa Rosa and wine country via the SMART train. There is also a lot to do locally in Marin County (where Grace grew up!). Here are some reasonably priced hotel options that we recommend:

1. Courtyard by Marriott San Francisco Larkspur Landing/Marin Country: This is in Larkspur Landing and is where we’ll be staying. It’s a great location and will be our hub for wedding activities. We set up a discounted room block, so make sure you either use the link above or call and mention the Boorstein/Carroll wedding to get the discounted $159/night rate (about $100 cheaper per night than if you book outside of the room block). We anticipate that the room block will fill up quickly, and after that we cannot guarantee that you'll be able to book at the hotel. Your credit card won't be charged until you show up and you can cancel for no charge until 72 hours before check-in. If you want to be in the room block but the link isn't working, please let us know ASAP and we will ask the hotel if we can add more rooms to the block.

2. Best Western Corte Madera Inn: A good back-up option if the Marriott fills up that’s less than a 10-minute drive from Larkspur Landing. $205/night.

3. Marin Lodge: An affordable, high-quality motel, close to downtown San Rafael and right off the freeway (8-10 minute drive to Larkspur Landing). We’ve had family stay here when visiting, and it is a great choice! It’s small, so we recommend booking soon if this is your top choice. $132/night.

4. Surestay Hotel by Best Western San Rafael: Probably the most cost-effective option you’ll find that’s centrally located, about a 10-minute drive from Larkspur Landing. This part of San Rafael isn’t dangerous, but it also isn’t somewhere you’ll want to walk around. $100/night.

5. Panama Hotel: A small boutique hotel in San Rafael, about a 10-minute drive from Larkspur Landing. Quirky and memorable. Prices vary between rooms as some only have full-sized beds and a few lack private bathrooms. Pay attention when booking! $130-$200/night.

6. San Anselmo Inn: Another boutique option; this one located in neighboring San Anselmo (12-minute drive from Larkspur Landing). It’s right on the main street of San Anselmo, a lovely area to walk around, go to restaurants, and go shopping. $180/night.

You can also look for an Airbnb or VRBO close to Larkspur Landing (cities to search include San Rafael, Larkspur, Mill Valley, Greenbrae, and Kentfield). San Francisco is near and has lots to do, but we recommend booking cautiously (we’re happy to help with this), as there are some areas to avoid.
