Cheap Hotels in Sausalito, CA

Just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, Sausalito feels like a Mediterranean-style escape with its hillside homes and waterfront marinas.

The main draw is its stunning bayfront setting, perfect for strolling along Bridgeway to watch the sailboats, browsing the galleries and shops, or enjoying fresh seafood with a view of the city skyline.

You can rent a bike and follow the path from San Francisco, or take a ferry that glides right past Alcatraz. Don't miss the unique community of houseboats along the shoreline, a quirky and artistic neighborhood that’s entirely its own. This is a fantastic spot for couples or leisure travelers seeking a relaxed, scenic base that’s still connected to the city. While there isn't a major business district, it appeals to those wanting a quieter alternative to San Francisco hotels. The ferry provides a charming and efficient link to the city's piers, and driving over the bridge puts you in downtown San Francisco in about twenty minutes without traffic. Most visitors stay close to the downtown waterfront area to be within walking distance of everything. Accommodation here is dominated by charming boutique hotels and upscale inns with water views, though there are a few larger, full-service hotels as well. On HOTEVI, you’ll find options like the Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa, the Inn Above Tide, the Sausalito Hotel, and the Hotel Sausalito, each offering its own take on bayside charm.
