The room was very nice and comfortable, and in a good location for coming home to Terra Linda. The climate controls worked well. The outdoor patio area of the hotel looked inviting, but it was a bit chilly that weekend, and we had limited time.

This was a great hotel, the location was nice, just a short drive away from several attractions and it was a quick drive to get to some shops and restaurants. The breakfast at the hotel is fantastic, plenty of fresh, hot and cold foods to choose from and you can get made-to-order omelettes. The bed was super comfy and the rooms seemed pretty sound proof which was nice. Great size room with modern fixtures.

It’s a very cute boutique hotel. It seems to be under new management and the property is undergoing some construction for improvements which is nice to see. It is perfectly located in a nice neighborhood and very close to the downtown area. Everything is walkable.

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.MelindaUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0

San Rafael was a great location for our mission of tracing ancestors in Marin County. It was also easy to get to the San Francisco bay area and beyond. Plenty of shops within a short drive. We even took a trip out to Napa while there.

There are lots of restaurants on the main street. There are things to be seen in the surrounding area, but I have seen them before. This trip was to see people. I ate at IHOP, great friendly spot open until 10 pm. Also Phyliss's Giant Burgers - and that's no lie. I also had a very good crepe at the Crepevine Restaurant, which had a large selection of crepes, omelettes, sandwhiches and more.

It's a good base from which to visit Marin and other neighboring towns, some that are much more expensive. 4th Street has some good eating, Lundy's and Theresa + Johnny's for breakfast if you need more than Villa Inn's breakfast. Also loved being a short drive (could probably have walked to both restaurants) and to Copperfield's Bookstore. Also if you can't handle the big city, this is a less intense and cheaper option than staying in San Francisco.

- From $332.94 per night9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 16 reviewsThe retreat is very easy to reach from Hwy 101 and convenient to San Rafael and environs. You need a car to get around. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fine. The decor is clearly very well planned for the hosts. It was a little over the top for us but comfortable. Having access to a washer and dryer was great. As it was cold and rainy we couldn't take advantage of any nearby walking trails or outside spaces.DorisUnited States of America

The rooms were clean and well kept, and the suite we were given had a partial kitchen with a refrigerator and working stove. This brought an additional level of comfort to our stay.

Very good customer service. Even with those little inconveniences, I think it's a very well keep hotel. We will definitely stay here again.SilviaUnited States of America

I feel like I’m staying in an average, old city in Spain — except the neighborhood is decidedly Victorian. The Panama began 100 years ago as a Mexican tamale restaurant in the suburb of San Rafael. It’s my favorite place to stay in Marin County and the options range from affordable rooms to beautifully-decorated bungalows and suites.KellyUnited States of America

The hotel is in a very quiet location. San Rafael is an excellent base for exploring southern Marin County by public transport, because it has good train and bus links north and south, and to the ferry terminals; it has bus services west and east as well.JohnGermany
