Smoke alarm was removed from room, main light bulbs out, loud music from lower level room, check in thru a window, breakfast (not really). Much better places to stay in San Rafael for similar price.

The rooms were clean. The “reception” was tiny and breakfast should be just a coffee bar. This is a motel. Full of people smoking on the porches and balconies

Sketchy people hanging around the property. Went to check in and saw a roach scurry across the room. Followed by a bed bug crawling up the wall. Didn’t unpack thank goodness. Person on the front desk probably knew. Refunded me without hesitation. Avoid at all cost

It’s very basic. The breakfast doesn’t start until 7:00, which is late by my standards. Breakfast offered was worst I’ve ever seen at a hotel. Very disappointed. No lotion in room.
