Very helpful staff in all areas: reception (Keena, especially); dinner restaurant (Michael R), and the bartender whose name I did not catch. We had a one-night stay for a teen's birthday celebration with 5 teens and 4 adults. 2 rooms, all clean and quiet. Adults had a relaxing time, we loved happy hour! Kids loved the pool and chatting during happy our with their snacks and sodas. Dinner was lovely in the quiet restaurant. Breakfast was a treat with so many choices for all. All in all it felt like a holiday.

    Ate dinner at Il Davida for Italian. The service was great and the food was better. Enjoyed our evening immensely. The dessert was the icing on the whole meal. Another evening we went to a local Mexican Restaurant Sabor a Mexico. Authentic and delicious.

    Small and quiet town with a shortish main street with a great bakery (Bordenave's). Enough cafes and restaurants to choose from. Lovely Mission, and cute shop which unfortunately has limited opening hours. Great location for nearby hikes.

    San Rafael is a great base for exploring West Marin and the Wine Country with fabulous restaurants, and great local scenery. It has a lovely downtown. Don't overlook the neighboring communities and towns. Don't miss the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Civic Center.

    Sam Rafael is close by Marin, Tiburon Sausalito ..Lots of fun places to go shop, eat and sight see. Here on a vacation with my daughter to visit friends. It is a good central and safe location. Would not stay at Embassy Suites again! It was the only negative in the entire trip.

    San Raphael is a sweet little stop to stay on your way to visit Mt. Tamalpais. There are good restaurants within walking distance from the new Marriott in downtown. It is a quieter destination than the bigger cities like San Francisco or Berkley, which is nice. I highly recommend Il David to grab dinner.

    The room was spacious and had great air conditioning. They had blackout drapes and a nice tub. I loved the shampoo and conditioner that was already in refillable dispensers in the tub/shower area. They also had every channel I could ask for with the TV and I was able to access my netflix as well. I will stay there again. Great value.

    The place is in an amazing location. Everything is super close, and it’s especially perfect if you’re planning to visit Napa Valley and SD, or check out the best places in the area. The neighborhood is very quiet, super clean, and really well-kept, just like the building itself and the apartment we rented. The hosts are really friendly and always respond quickly via text. They also gave us great instructions on how to get into the apartment, how to connect things, and just made everything easy. Thank you!

    This is a scam. Property did not exist at location, and when I called some guy answered and said vaguely that he “had some hotel connections available”. He didn’t even know the name to this place.
