Ayshe Jul 8, 2025 02:24:51 AM

Summary: verry good

Jennifer Jul 6, 2025 10:25:55 PM

Summary: Property was walkable, clean, and friendly staff. Did not like that the bathroom door had a 4-6 inch gap at the top and bottom, it felt more like a bathroom stall in a public restroom.

Richard Jun 21, 2025 02:08:27 AM

Summary: No parking available when I arrived at 1 am. That’s fair but not the worst. Charging me for parking after I told them I hadn’t parked was even more frustrating. The bathroom also smelled of urine.

Daniella Jun 19, 2025 02:28:51 PM

Summary: Parking was an issue but the gentleman at front desk was helpful and nice.

Cynthia Jun 15, 2025 02:24:47 AM

Summary: Great hotel in downtown San Rafael. Staff and bartenders were all super friendly and nice!

Hilda Jun 13, 2025 02:38:14 AM

Summary: Checking in was quick, the room spacious, comfortable and clean. There was a problem with noisy air conditioning, but it was resolved. Beautiful roof-top sitting area and bar. I did not like the parking arrangement. It would be better to include parking for hotel guests in the room rate.

Jonathan Jun 6, 2025 12:50:02 AM

Sarah Jun 2, 2025 10:39:06 AM
