San Rafael Hotels

Pros: We loved it here and will stay here again everytime we need an overnight in the city! It was perfect for catching the Larkspur ferry as its just minutes away. This made our Super Bowl activities that much easier. The owners were fantastic and made us feel like family. Can't wait to come back!!!

Pros: The staff was very kind with my very late 11:30pm check in. Also they have free water bottles! The room was elegantly decorated with IKEA stuffs but it was comfortable. We liked it very much. We would definitely stay there again.

Pros: We loved this place. We would have stayed longer if we would have found it sooner. the bed was comfortable, the room had all the amenities you would expect; TV, hair dryer, microwave, iron, etc. They have a free continental breakfast of blueberry muffins and fresh fruit and coffee as well as complimentary sodas and bottled water

Cons: The parking was very limited but I believe it was due to the construction which was apparently for remodeling as we noticed a distinct smell of fresh paint. It was a little far to drive from local eateries unless you are familiar with the area.

Pros: Huge room, wonderful beds, quiet, updated facilities, friendly management

Cons: Breakfast/snack area was small

Pros: Great customer service!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The Marin Lodge was charming and clean and completely redone recently. Rooms were cozy and comfortable with nice accommodations and we will be back!! Would HIGHLY recommend staying here!

Pros: slept very well in a very clean room.

Cons: nothing.

Pros: Great staff, clean quiet room, ample parking.

Pros: The location is great - close to downtown San Rafael. Also, it is a good value for your money, since other hotels seem to be way more expensive. The hotel manager was also a nice guy. It was a nice quaint hotel.

Cons: Main problem was the hot water was not on when we tried to take a shower in the morning. Apparently they were doing some work in our unit, and jumped the gun on turning off the water ahead of time. Also, the phone did not work as well. The actual room was also pretty small - basically a studio room.

Pros: Great central location within easy walking distance to shops and resturants.Wonderful outdoor space for entertaining guests.Very friendly and helpful owner.

Cons: No central heating or air conditioning.

Pros: This charming place was really easy to find and I can't wait to stay there next time I go to the San Francisco area!

Pros: This hidden gem is perfection--truly like something out of 'Victoria' magazine. If you need a break from the big city (San Francisco is a short 1/2 hour away), this is the place. Close to fun shops and great eateries in a classic CA neighborhood.

Pros: Access to garden

Cons: Very basic. No A/C, no fans, cant open window. Not planning to stay there again, not recommend.

Pros: I liked the area and the privacy. This was unique and not like any standard hotel room. Also, I was able to have my small dog stay with us.

Cons: There was some difficulty for us since my mother uses a walker, and she needed to negotiate one or two steps.

Pros: Privacy, and ambiance.

Cons: No.

Pros: The indoor waterfall and koi pond, part of their tropical atrium, are really unique. They have substantial snacks in the evening and great breakfast.

Pros: Nice place for families

Cons: Couldn't control air conditioning to get colder

Pros: Spacious Rooms

Cons: Cost, long walk to room

Cons: $7 for the parking? You're not the Ritz, you're a motel.

Pros: Nice location and a beautiful lobby. Quiet. Very large rooms that can comfortable fit 4 people. Liked the complimentary treats during the midday to evening. Each room has 2 rooms, each with its own hdtv. Comfortable beds with nice sheets. I used the fridge, which worked very well and kept my drinks very cold.

Cons: It was obvious it hadn't been cleaned from the previous guests. The facility was dirty. Literally. There was urine on the seat and toilet paper in the bowl. The backs of earrings were on the counter and we only had one set of towels for a room meant for two people. I called to have it cleaned and it took them over an hour to send anyone. And when they did, after I'd called a second time to remind them, the maid merely flushed the toilet and left without cleaning anything. I requested to have my room switched but the person at the front desk said they were fully booked. So I was out of luck and decided to stick it out. Later that night I realized the ironing board and doors to the armoire were broken. Yet another disappointment. The next morning I was out of the room by 9:45 am. I came back just before 3 pm and found my room hadn't been cleaned. I waited over an hour before the maid knocked on my door. She walked in, made the beds, took away the wet towels, and within 10 minutes she left. She never touched the counters, vacuumed, or disinfected the bathroom. Then, to no surprise by this point, I went to use the complimentary microwave and found it a mess. It had obviously been used many times and never been cleaned. Luckily the first maid left a roll of paper towels by mistake. I cleaned it myself. If I stay here again, I'll have to remember to bring Clorox bleach, a sponge, rubber gloves, paper towels and air freshener. I'll keep my usual tip to cover my extra expenses. And it's 2015 Embassy Suites. What hotel doesn't offer complimentary wifi?! Especially at nearly $200 a night.

Pros: Clean, quiet and comfortable! Great happy hour and full breakfast

Cons: To holder is behind the user! Awkward!!

Pros: Very quiet and always appreciate the breakfast and happy hour!

Cons: Wish the train was operating to Sonoma. Still a few months away. That will be awesome.

Pros: The room design, hotel layout, coy ponds, happy hour, breakfast, pool, honor bar style shop.

Cons: It's a little run down and the bar closes early. It seems like it should be open later on weekends. Especially when there are no other options near by.

Pros: The staff was very friendly.

Cons: Internet wasn't free for me.

Pros: i like the hotel, it was beautiful, I enjoy the water fall, coy fish, the hotel grounds very nice. the breakfast excellent... P.S. I like being on the firs floor. that provided us a great access to the beautiful scenery the hotel has to offer.

Cons: I did not like the room. it was not what I expected from a beautiful hotel. the living room had a big conference table, it fell like I was at an office, that made it very uncomfortable, we wanted a private place to hangout but with the big table and office chairs, it was not possible. we ask the staff " a guy" for the room to be change but the staff member, that we ask, he told us we need it to pay an additional $50. I you can see as was not away in business nether was I meeting with other people for biasness. the staff member made a remark that my room was book by you guys and that they could not change any!!!

Pros: David the dining room greeter was so pleasant, friendly and cheerful. Most people don't even notice him, but I think he is doing a great job.

Pros: Hotel staff was nice. The food selection was good . Bed was comfy and room was clean.

Cons: Asked for our bed to be made while we were out, but all the housekeeper did was put a pile of towels on the couch. We had to call later to ask them to make the bed. It may seem like a small matter, but don't think it's too much to ask. Nice to have a tidy room after a long day.

Pros: The location worked well for me, close to Sausalito. The housekeeping staff did a good job with the room.

Cons: Hotel is dated and the carpets and furniture are worn. No restaurants in the immediate area. It is overpriced for what it offers. Far better to stay a bit further north - better value.

Pros: The shower was amazing and the beds awesome

Cons: No hot water at all on Friday morning waited over a hour and still nothing but ice water in the shower. When hot water was available shower w as awesome

Pros: Serves it purpose Good restaurant next door

Cons: Expect much more for the price Best to book online, staff are obviously trained to quote highest price possible with no power to negotiate.

Cons: Room had a poor Ac . Just too hot

Pros: The Marin Suites is next door to the Book Passage bookstore where we see many famous Authors visiting to sign their books. The location is only minutes from three malls and the freeway to Napa or San Francisco.

Pros: I liked that is was clean and quiet and that breakfast was included.

Pros: We arrived very late and the two women who were manning the front desk were absolutely fantastic. Very friendly, helpful, and just lovely.

Cons: We wanted to sleep until about 9am, however, at about 7am Sasquatch began pacing upstairs, stomping back and forth for hours. We didn't get the rest we needed for our upcoming long drive.
