My room was clean and the bed was soft and I was very happy with the pillows! Breakfast was good and the kitchen staff (cook) was very good at getting the waffles to us quickly. Very pleasant lady. I will stay there again.

Jack at the front desk was very friendly informative and courteous. This is the ultimate one can expect from a hotel staff member. Jack took the time every morning to give us a short list of recommendations. We have extended our stay twice. We liked the area and the hotel

    Small and quiet town with a shortish main street with a great bakery (Bordenave's). Enough cafes and restaurants to choose from. Lovely Mission, and cute shop which unfortunately has limited opening hours. Great location for nearby hikes.

    San Rafael is a great base for exploring West Marin and the Wine Country with fabulous restaurants, and great local scenery. It has a lovely downtown. Don't overlook the neighboring communities and towns. Don't miss the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Civic Center.

    Sam Rafael is close by Marin, Tiburon Sausalito ..Lots of fun places to go shop, eat and sight see. Here on a vacation with my daughter to visit friends. It is a good central and safe location. Would not stay at Embassy Suites again! It was the only negative in the entire trip.

    San Raphael is a sweet little stop to stay on your way to visit Mt. Tamalpais. There are good restaurants within walking distance from the new Marriott in downtown. It is a quieter destination than the bigger cities like San Francisco or Berkley, which is nice. I highly recommend Il David to grab dinner.

    The room was spacious and had great air conditioning. They had blackout drapes and a nice tub. I loved the shampoo and conditioner that was already in refillable dispensers in the tub/shower area. They also had every channel I could ask for with the TV and I was able to access my netflix as well. I will stay there again. Great value.

    San Rafael was a great location for our mission of tracing ancestors in Marin County. It was also easy to get to the San Francisco bay area and beyond. Plenty of shops within a short drive. We even took a trip out to Napa while there.

    The place is in an amazing location. Everything is super close, and it’s especially perfect if you’re planning to visit Napa Valley and SD, or check out the best places in the area. The neighborhood is very quiet, super clean, and really well-kept, just like the building itself and the apartment we rented. The hosts are really friendly and always respond quickly via text. They also gave us great instructions on how to get into the apartment, how to connect things, and just made everything easy. Thank you!

    It was a cute B&B. Felt nostalgic. The staff was helpful and offered to carry our bags. A good deal for the price, considering California overcharges an arm and a leg on hotels.
