Friendly staff, nice and clean rooms, breakfast was very good and reasonably priced compared with hotel brands I’ve been to before (similar to Hilton Garden Inn). Hotel was a Four Points but is experiencing a rebranding. My group also loved the hot tub and pool, and they said the burger from the Tavern was a hit! Very great place to stay if visiting San Rafael or just passing through on 101. I’d definitely book again in the future.

Check in staff not friendly. Heating/cooling unit was very loud when fan was running. Bath towel had long hair on it. Pillow case torn. Facility is renovating. Our room was below a unit being renovated. EARLY Saturday morning there was a crew banging away.

Disgusting rooms and hotel is so musty. Outdated everything EXCEPT their lobby. Makes you feel like you are at a nice hotel but it is so nasty. Parking is like a motel. Have construction cars everywhere. Roads filled with potholes.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I think there was bedbugs because the first night that we stayed in room 311 we got bites all over a red mark. It was really noisy because we got the room by the freeway. I did call ahead of time to make sure not to get a room by the freeway but overall this will be the last time we stay there and I’ve stayed there so many times and not had any problems.

Staff was good. Room was dated with paper thin walls. I could hear everything. Lots of construction and noise pretty much all day and into the night. Water temperature was sporadic often running out of hot water. Housekeeping was every other day and they forgot my room. Found wet towels on the floor and things left unclean even with the full service. Parking was difficult as they blocked all the spaces in walking distance to my building. Made parking at night for a woman alone a bit sketchy. I was disappointed in this experience.
