My room was very clean and cozy….This is a very charming and quirky hotel that feels more like a bed-and-breakfast… I stayed in the Dale Evans room, which is in the section of the hotel that has shared bathrooms and kitchen… There was no one else on my end that evening during the week so I had the kitchen and bathroom to myself. My room had a balcony right out the door overlooking the street which was very nice. It’s a busy street right near downtown San Rafael, but during the night, it was very quiet… You could walk to all the great restaurants and shops downtown—the price was very reasonable, because of the quirkiness of the place… If you were looking for something fancy, this is not the place for you. This is very homey and unique— every room is different. There is a section of the hotel that has private bathrooms, and they are a bit more expensive but still very reasonably priced for Marin. I highly recommend if you want a unique experience… There is only street parking because this is a residential neighborhood, but I didn’t have a problem finding a spot right next to the hotel… Enos informed me that my bed was new and they’re in the process of updating all the rooms. The bed was very comfortable. I ended up booking the same room for another night because the location is so great I could go explore Marin and Point Reyes and tamales Bay, etc. and then return to this comfortable place… ![Dale Evan’s Room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/191e9415-653d-4155-a85b-96660cd1e950-1769197175440.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Fenced in patio](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/579bccd1-788c-4c16-be32-5558975c61ae-1769197248161.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from Dale Evan’s Room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77ca41a6-7683-4d76-b40c-8c5fc800797d-1769197309438.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Front of hotel. dal Evan’s room top left with balcony](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/632f3147-7e37-4a39-aa9c-6ede34802c04-1769197305261.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Sep 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is great... such History and thr rooms are soooo cool... always our place to stay ...

If you're looking for a unique boutique hotel in Marin, this is a wonderful place to stay! The rooms are very comfortable and the inn keeper, Enos, is a great and accommodating host! Be aware that some rooms have a shared bathroom, so check to make sure it says "private bathroom" if that's a requirement. Other than that, I highly recommend and will return again! Thanks! ##### Adam Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The Panama Hotel has a certain old-time charm and is a really great place to stay. The staff is friendly, helpful, and responsive. The room was comfortable and the Internet connection was good. The shared bathroom was fine except for when someone took a bath and left the tub dirty (it was cleaned up by staff the next morning). I will stay here again if needed and would recommend to friends and family as a charming and, at times, reasonably priced place to stay. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymond Mar 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel was unique, very aesthetically, pleasing, Victorian style hotel, and like an island type resort setting feeling. Different but very comfortable and easy and lowkey. ##### Raymond Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Dec 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great retro, comfortable with minimal bothersome amenities. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay Sep 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I have stayed here quite a number of times, and I am always fascinated by all the beauty and intricate details of this historic hotel!!! ##### Lindsay Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Quiet and clean.

Once they finish with the restaurant construction the place will have a nice travelers lodge feel. The bathrooms are shared, so know that going in. Easy walk to downtown San Rafael and it was quiet at the property. ##### Doug Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Genevieve Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is a unique place. I stayed for 6 days after having a minor medical procedure so i wanted a homey feel and an economical price. This gave me both. It is clean but it is unique. My room had a little patio with a fence and was private which was great given i was in my room a lot. Tv is small but adequate, 2 blocks from grocery and convenience store, in a clean quiet residential neighborhood. Highly recommend if you are OK with a bit out of the ordinary- to me very pleasant. Would stay again. ##### Genevieve Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greta May 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Memory lane We have fond memories of this wonderful place from 30 years ago. It is now being renovated by a charming, dedicated new owner. It is an easy walk to downtown shops, restaurants and the lovely Mission. ##### Greta Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn Oct 30, 2023 Liked: Amenities Marin county’s best bnb.

Not a modern hotel by any stretch, but clean and not too far from downtown food, drink & shopping. Room was clean - the Fridge turned out to be a freezer, but other than that no problems. Restaurant was closed, staff was nice but it is not a 24 hour staffed reception. I liked it and will be back for sure ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Westin San Diego Bayview](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Westin-San-Diego-Downtown.h27516.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Paseo, Autograph Collection by Marriott](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hotel-Paseo.h19698333.Hotel-Information) > > [Desert Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Desert-Vacation-Villas.h22095.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barnes San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Villa-Florence-San-Francisco-On-Union-Square.h5425.Hotel-Information) > > [The Anthem Los Angeles Stadium District, Tapestry by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Anthem-Los-Angeles-Stadium-District.h73661156.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commerce Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Commerce-Casino.h533227.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Oceanside-Hotels-The-Seabird-Resort.h63871770.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Cathedral City Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Cathedral-City-Palm-Springs.h15178280.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hollywood-Hotel-The-Hotel-Of-Hollywood.h12553.Hotel-Information) > > [Paris Stay](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Rafael-Hotels-Paris-Stay.h79110405.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beverly Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-Dorchester-Collection.h12057.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA ](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-The-Park-Central-San-Francisco-Hyatt-Affiliated-Hotel.h491.Hotel-Information) > > [VEA Newport Beach, A Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Newport-Beach-Hotels-Newport-Beach-Marriott-Hotel-And-Spa.h19095.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameo Beverly Hills, LXR Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Cameo-Beverly-Hills.h14537.Hotel-Information) > > [STILE Downtown Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-STILE-Downtown-Los-Angeles-By-Kasa.h6948120.Hotel-Information) > > [Montrose at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Montrose-West-Hollywood.h17594.Hotel-Information) > > [Element Anaheim Resort Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Element-Anaheim-Resort-Convention-Center.h37620004.Hotel-Information) > > [Argonaut Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Argonaut-Hotel-A-Noble-House-Hotel.h915510.Hotel-Information) > > [WorldMark Indio](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-WorldMark-Indio.h1784055.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel ](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Sir-Francis-Drake-Hotel.h15254.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Everly Hotel Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-Everly-Hotel-Hollywood.h17524828.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ziggy on Sunset](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-Ziggy-Los-Angeles.h11087.Hotel-Information) > > [The Colony Palms Hotel and Bungalows - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Colony-Palms-Hotel-And-Bungalows.h1652438.Hotel-Information) > > [Stay Classy Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Stay-Classy.h54911318.Hotel-Information) > > [Pixar Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Paradise-Pier-Hotel.h9503.Hotel-Information) > > [FOUND Hotels, Santa Monica, Series by Marriott](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-FOUND-Los-Angeles-Santa-Monica.h41510539.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Delfina-Santa-Monica.h12942.Hotel-Information)
