Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be in a convenient location close to the highway and many Bay Area attractions. The dining options were satisfactory, though a bit overpriced. The outdoor garden area was a lovely spot to relax, despite some noise from the nearby highway.
The hotel had a wonderful location along the 101 in California, close to downtown San Rafael and convenient amenities nearby. The room was beautifully decorated and secluded from traffic noise, offering a cozy stay. The staff was friendly and warm, enhancing the overall experience, though the dining options were limited. The attractive facilities and well-maintained surroundings added to the positive aspects of the stay.
The hotel had comfortable rooms and a very helpful front desk, although there was trash on the floor. The location was nicer towards the interior, away from the freeway. The service was friendly and helpful despite some incompetence. The dining experience was fair but not exceptional. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
