“Smiley's Saloon & Hotel strikes me as a place where time slows down, amplified by its location in the quietly charming town of Bolinas. What stands out is its simplicity; it's a no-frills experience, where the focus is on enjoying the town's unhurried pace and proximity to the beach. Despite potential noise from the saloon, many rooms offer surprising tranquility, and the local atmosphere is undeniably welcoming.”
