📍 215 Alameda del Prado, Novato
★★★ 9.5 (107 reviews)

Marin Hilltop Hotel

Marin Hilltop Hotel

📍 1010 Northgate Dr, San Rafael
★★★★ 8.5 (113 reviews)

"I am on my way from San Francisco to Napa valley. This hotel is a perfect location for me. I booked a king bed at last minute. When I checked in, the receptionist upgraded me to a two queen beds room. The room is bigger than most of hotel rooms. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. I will recommend this hotel to my friends and families."

Panama Hotel

Panama Hotel

📍 4 Bayview St, San Rafael
★★ 7.3 (72 reviews)

"Decent for a single stay, in my opinion. The check-in was not traditional but quick, once you make contact. Press 0 when you call the phone number to get an answer.  The bathrooms are separate unless you pay $40 more for your own. No iron. The staff and guests were nice.  Dim lighting but felt aafe. Overall it’s a cute place, and a unique experience, not a hotel rather hostel style."

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Rafael Marin County

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Rafael Marin County

📍 101 McInnis Pkwy, San Rafael
★★★★★ 8.4 (107 reviews)

"We book for a room of 5. There wasnt a lot of space. There was a bit of ***** hair in the covers. The place looks like a jail cell so it just feels like the vibes are off and depressing. There is no ventilation in the bathroom. We tried to go to the pool and the was so many particles in the water and the floor around the pool was dirty. In addition the water is murky we decided not to swim in the pool. The breakfast was not as good as other hilton hotel. Parking was 15 for no bell service. Overall poor service when there not much to eat around the areas. There was a unresolved spill near the elevator."

Holiday Inn Express MILL VALLEY SAN FRANCISCO AREA by IHG

Holiday Inn Express MILL VALLEY SAN FRANCISCO AREA by IHG

📍 160 Shoreline Hwy, Tamalpais-Homestead Valley
★★★ 8.5 (114 reviews)

"A very good HHoliday Inn hotel in the San Francisco area. The service staff is friendly and you can check in early when rooms are available. The hotel has a lot of parking spaces, and it's free! The breakfast tacos are very delicious. I live on the first floor with a balcony and a yard, but there is water on the ground outside. The hotel is a ten-minute drive from the Golden Gate Bridge, but the Golden Gate Bridge charges about $9 to the south. Those who rent a car are best to use it online. Prepay the Goden bridge Toll by credit card."

The Lodge at Tiburon

The Lodge at Tiburon

📍 1651 Tiburon Blvd, Tiburon
★★★ 8.1 (101 reviews)

"Hotel is marketed on Trip.com website as being 3.5km from Sausalito (where we wanted to stay close to in Marine county) - it is actually 8 miles by driving (maybe 3.5 km by direct distance via water with no public transport) where's the truth in advertising Lodge is more like a slighly better end motel and not really a hotel or a higher end "lodge" (see pic) On check in, first assigned room has broken toilet, it was around 4 pm and the technician on site was "gone for the day" Changed to a second room, no major disfunction except the smoke detector was covered by a taped on white towel ( see pic) really weird. For the price it charged, close to USD 280 a night, it was really expensive - and one other surprise came after paying thru Trip.com was an addtional charge of around USD 28 of hotel fees that came afterwards at the hotel on top of the Trip.com payment. So it came as 2 separate billings and more expensive than what Trip.com marketed. And was there any service they actually offered for this ?"

Panama Hotel ★★
"It was affordable and that is probably the only thing that kept me going. There’s no front desk after 6pm, or before 8am. You have to press 0 at the main phone number to get past the office issue, and any issues you experience will go unchecked. Like other guests stealing your food or drinks from the communal fridge. Or individuals who don’t respect the noise curfew and talk loudly and make noise after 10-11, will go unchecked so if you’re a light sleeper good luck. Playing white noise on the phone helped. There’s holes in the towels and comforter. Toilet was backed up/floading on two different occasions so there are plumbing issues, like no warm water in the kitchen sink. The plug outlets are close to the floor, and doors are key operated which is a huge hassle to open and close because the knobs will jam up every now and then. Otherwise it’s functional if you don’t have high standards."
