Top Marin History Museum Hotel Reviews

Panama Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place always amazes me how the staff can be so courteous and never miss a beat. Parking is easy and walking distance from downtown San Rafael and the Marin County Transit Center. I enjoy that once I park my car I can walk wherever I want to go. And the hotel is located in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood."

SureStay Hotel by Best Western San Rafael

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, but there were a couple of issues. The sink only had cold water and never turned hot. The toilet only flushes if the lever is turned 180 degrees, and it only flushes once every 10 minutes, so it takes a while for the bowl to refill. There is also a weird dip in the middle of the bedroom. Another concern is that the second floor is noticeably slanted. It made us question the building's structural safety, especially in the event of a major earthquake. Lastly, the staff was nice but not always available. The breakfast was also mediocre, with very limited options."

North Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Really well located if you need to go to San Rafael. I was afraid of the noise (the 580 and the 101 are nearby), but turns out the sound proofing was good. To the best of my knowledge, there was no breakfast, but you can easily get something from Burger King or any of the gas stations within a 5 minute walk. Very good amenities (fridge, microwave, coffeee machine), staff very friendly. There were some food trucks a couple of minutes walk on the evening I arrived, excellent tacos and burritos. This ain't the Grand Hyatt, but I would definitely stay here again."

Views! Private&Spacious! 7BR+Loft, Sleeps 10-19, 21 fee. 15min=SF,GGB,Napa-Prkg!

10/10 Excellent

"The place was awesome!… Beautiful views, wonderful kitchen, well equipped in all other ways. It’s clear that this house is much loved. The hosts were awesome as well, very responsive and accommodating. Everyone in our group hopes to be back someday!"

Cozy 2-bedroom house in charming San Rafael with AC, WiFi

10/10 Excellent

"Great clean facility with "tons" of glasses, pots knives, Braun coffee maker, female touch to it with flowers on the table and greeting in the refrigerator, great wooded area close to the treasures of the area but also shopping and a brewery restaurant with a rustic flair. And neither Napa, Sonoma or San Fran are too far awayWould have wished for king size beds but the existing supply was rather comfortable.We will come back if we will have a chance, THANK YOU again, Christina"
