The room located on the second floor had a visible floor slope, which did not affect our stay at all. The bathroom was very clean, renovated. Nice toiletries were provided. The breakfast included a choice of omelet, bagels, muffins, waffles, and cereals. You could ask for the bagel to be toasted.

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!

Ate dinner at Il Davida for Italian. The service was great and the food was better. Enjoyed our evening immensely. The dessert was the icing on the whole meal. Another evening we went to a local Mexican Restaurant Sabor a Mexico. Authentic and delicious.

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.

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.

This was a real treat. The property is maintained so well. Everything is in good shape, the rooms are ample and comfortable and the bathroom facilities are excellent. It is very well located just off the freeway and while it looks less stellar than nearby hotels on the same block on the outside, the inside is great! Also, parking is ample and convenient and the manager is very friendly and helpful. It was extremely good value for the money.

An extremely charming boutique hotel in the heart of Marin County with reasonable prices. Composed of two old houses and their outbuildings set on a curved lane, it's semi-symmetrical layout is like that of a pensione you'd see in Turin or Dubrovnik.
