Bowline Hotel

I took a 2-day trip here to get away by myself for a couple of days and this could not have been a nicer spot for that. Everything in this gorgeous boutique hotel is designed for maximum relaxation and comfort, from the river views and watching sea lions swim by while sipping morning coffee, to the super-comfortable bed and Frette linens, to the delicious Scandinavian food and yummy cocktails in the hotel restaurant The Knot, to the unusual barrel saunas that guests can relax in. The staff are all incredibly nice, and were happy to upgrade my room when I asked for a river view (yes, I paid for it), and gave great recs on places to eat nearby too. I loved how so much that i wanted to see and experience was either within walking distance or a short drive away. I can't wait for my next stay!

Always a wonderful stay. Staff is so kind and helpful. Barrel Saunas are wonderful! Sea lions are always a treat - woke up to them hanging out on our patio watching the sun rise!

You will not regret staying at Bowline Hotel - it is a unique experience, from the views to the history to the marine life. And numerous restaurants within walking distance - we cannot wait until we have the opportunity to return.

Had messed up when booking and called the person said not a problem but when we got there they wanted names and said they may not be able to help- eventually she figured it out which was nice. Our room was just outside the bar area and Saturday night was really loud to where it was difficult to sleep. Also had a funky smell kinda oily when you enter. Besides that the bed is sunken in but somewhat comfy- you can see old stains on counters by coffee area but overall clean. The seal ions were a neat part- make sure you find street parking prior to go to your room cause driving around can be tedious hunting for a spot.

Read the fine print, you have to park yourself off property. You can pay an extra $15 a day to have them park for you. I suspect during peak times, off street parking isn’t easy. Not sure the amenities are worth an extra $10 a day. We brought our own coffee, there was soap. I’m not sure what other amenities. They did have robes and a sauna, maybe those. Just seemed strange to not have it included in the price. We did enjoy our stay, and the location was awesome. These extra charges just seemed petty.

Beautiful room, lovely tub, perfect view Bar staff ignored us for a long time so just went to room. When went to varlater, had mediocre service and not good dessert

This stay was very nice! Staff was super above and beyond. I think the only reason we gave it 4 stars was a safety factor, no grab bars in tub or shower! My husband slipped a bit in the shower, so I went and got a rubber mat. Better! You can't beat that view, it was exceptional. There was a bit of thumping and bumping in one of the rooms around 4:30am. Took about an hour to subside. The Sea Otters are not a bother! We enjoyed them. We have booked another trip....thank you!!!

What a great property and the staff is so friendly. Easy to walk around and find lots of things to do.

Loved staying at Bowline. Great location, view, and service. The town was fun to explore and we were welcomed by a very kind community.
