The main areas are nice, but the room was in poor repair. Needs to be totally replaced. The bed was clean, everything was clean, but the furniture was worn. I understand the hotel recently changed hands and major repairs are being done, but it is a work in progress. Staff were nice.

Room was very clean. Loved that they offered a microwave in the room and their fridge was good-sized. The AC unit was a little loud, however.

Friendly staff, nice and clean rooms, breakfast was very good and reasonably priced compared with hotel brands I’ve been to before (similar to Hilton Garden Inn). Hotel was a Four Points but is experiencing a rebranding. My group also loved the hot tub and pool, and they said the burger from the Tavern was a hit! Very great place to stay if visiting San Rafael or just passing through on 101. I’d definitely book again in the future.

The location is ideal for avoiding Bay Area chaos prior to any appointments. Very quiet considering its proximity to the freeway. The property is pretty and well kept. Rooms are basic and could use some detail cleaning and paint touch ups but overall a very good and reasonably priced stay.
