San Rafael Hotels

Pros: Large lapping swimming pool was a nice surprise

Cons: Seedy, bad smelling rooms. Did not feel clean. Never again.

Pros: Bed was great. Room big. Good breakfast. Huge pool. Right off freeway. Would stay again.

Cons: No elevator. Sink/vanity not enclosed in bathroom. No bar.

Pros: For several years we have been using Best Western Corte Madera Inn as a favored place to stay when visiting the Bay Area. We like the shopping that is convenient to its location. San Francisco is just a hop away down the 101 and across the Golden Gate. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, also well appointed. Staff is courteous and helpful, and the free breakfast at the restaurant next door is really good.

Cons: Some of the rooms sometime seem a little dated, but this is not a deterrent to us. It's a great location.

Pros: Convenience, price

Cons: Motel-style set-up.

Pros: Front desk people were great we got in a little late. They kept the pool open for us which was a lot of fun. Then we relaxes by the fire pit. Great hotel just outside of San Fran.

Cons: Rooms were quite big and comfortable. Many extras on the propert in an excellent location.

Pros: The indoor waterfall and koi pond, part of their tropical atrium, are really unique. They have substantial snacks in the evening and great breakfast.

Pros: Nice place for families

Cons: Couldn't control air conditioning to get colder

Pros: Spacious Rooms

Cons: Cost, long walk to room

Cons: $7 for the parking? You're not the Ritz, you're a motel.

Pros: Very quiet and always appreciate the breakfast and happy hour!

Cons: Wish the train was operating to Sonoma. Still a few months away. That will be awesome.

Pros: Clean, quiet and comfortable! Great happy hour and full breakfast

Cons: To holder is behind the user! Awkward!!

Pros: Nice location and a beautiful lobby. Quiet. Very large rooms that can comfortable fit 4 people. Liked the complimentary treats during the midday to evening. Each room has 2 rooms, each with its own hdtv. Comfortable beds with nice sheets. I used the fridge, which worked very well and kept my drinks very cold.

Cons: It was obvious it hadn't been cleaned from the previous guests. The facility was dirty. Literally. There was urine on the seat and toilet paper in the bowl. The backs of earrings were on the counter and we only had one set of towels for a room meant for two people. I called to have it cleaned and it took them over an hour to send anyone. And when they did, after I'd called a second time to remind them, the maid merely flushed the toilet and left without cleaning anything. I requested to have my room switched but the person at the front desk said they were fully booked. So I was out of luck and decided to stick it out. Later that night I realized the ironing board and doors to the armoire were broken. Yet another disappointment. The next morning I was out of the room by 9:45 am. I came back just before 3 pm and found my room hadn't been cleaned. I waited over an hour before the maid knocked on my door. She walked in, made the beds, took away the wet towels, and within 10 minutes she left. She never touched the counters, vacuumed, or disinfected the bathroom. Then, to no surprise by this point, I went to use the complimentary microwave and found it a mess. It had obviously been used many times and never been cleaned. Luckily the first maid left a roll of paper towels by mistake. I cleaned it myself. If I stay here again, I'll have to remember to bring Clorox bleach, a sponge, rubber gloves, paper towels and air freshener. I'll keep my usual tip to cover my extra expenses. And it's 2015 Embassy Suites. What hotel doesn't offer complimentary wifi?! Especially at nearly $200 a night.

Pros: Staff were kind, friendly and polite in limited interactions.

Cons: Room and hallways were way overdue for refresh - mold, dust, dirt, broken furniture, you name it. Absolutely horrible, I would have left before sleeping or showering there if I could have. Smell was unspeakable and humidity (in a non humid climate!) was not controlled at all leading to the mold, bad smells, etc

Pros: The room design, hotel layout, coy ponds, happy hour, breakfast, pool, honor bar style shop.

Cons: It's a little run down and the bar closes early. It seems like it should be open later on weekends. Especially when there are no other options near by.

Pros: i like the hotel, it was beautiful, I enjoy the water fall, coy fish, the hotel grounds very nice. the breakfast excellent... P.S. I like being on the firs floor. that provided us a great access to the beautiful scenery the hotel has to offer.

Cons: I did not like the room. it was not what I expected from a beautiful hotel. the living room had a big conference table, it fell like I was at an office, that made it very uncomfortable, we wanted a private place to hangout but with the big table and office chairs, it was not possible. we ask the staff " a guy" for the room to be change but the staff member, that we ask, he told us we need it to pay an additional $50. I you can see as was not away in business nether was I meeting with other people for biasness. the staff member made a remark that my room was book by you guys and that they could not change any!!!

Pros: David the dining room greeter was so pleasant, friendly and cheerful. Most people don't even notice him, but I think he is doing a great job.

Pros: Hotel staff was nice. The food selection was good . Bed was comfy and room was clean.

Cons: Asked for our bed to be made while we were out, but all the housekeeper did was put a pile of towels on the couch. We had to call later to ask them to make the bed. It may seem like a small matter, but don't think it's too much to ask. Nice to have a tidy room after a long day.

Cons: Room had a poor Ac . Just too hot

Pros: The Marin Suites is next door to the Book Passage bookstore where we see many famous Authors visiting to sign their books. The location is only minutes from three malls and the freeway to Napa or San Francisco.

Pros: I liked that is was clean and quiet and that breakfast was included.

Pros: We arrived very late and the two women who were manning the front desk were absolutely fantastic. Very friendly, helpful, and just lovely.

Cons: We wanted to sleep until about 9am, however, at about 7am Sasquatch began pacing upstairs, stomping back and forth for hours. We didn't get the rest we needed for our upcoming long drive.

Pros: The stay here was mostly great. The hot tuba and pool were open even in cold weather. Heated of course!

Cons: The few exceptions to that were: -New front desk staff had a hard time pointing in the right direction for dinner. -The shower faucet was somewhat difficult to figure out. I was there a week, you'd think I'd be able to figure it out by then. But every morning I spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure out which way the faucet was supposed to face for hot water... An upgrade would be much appreciated! -Bed was also way too soft. I felt like it swallowed me whole. I expected a California hotel to recycle and maybe compost. Marin Suites Hotel did not offer either.

Pros: The partial renovation was good.

Cons: Carpet was torn, stained and smelled badly.

Pros: The room look like the picture online. Very clean and spacious! Loved that it had a refrigerator and microwave! Comfortable bed and pillows! Plus loved the green features, lights, toilet and shower. Beat value for bay area accommodations that I could find!

Cons: My initial roomed smelled like cigarette smoke but was quickly changed.

Pros: cleanness.

Cons: Staff is rude. Breakfast is poor.

Pros: The location was nice but if you're willing to drive a few miles north there are nicer hotels for the same price.

Cons: The bed was extremely uncomfortable. It had several broken springs and was bulging on the sides. The room was very small and there was a table that blocked access to the right side of the king sized bed so you had to crawl on to the bed from the foot of it. No dressers, only a small rack that the tv is mounted to to hang. No shower head, water was spraying at full blast out of a pipe coming from the wall like a hydrant which was not awful but it required me to ricochet water off my hands on to my face if I didn't want water to go up my nose.

Pros: We loved this place, especially for the insanely good price. Walk to Buckeye Roadhouse for steak and back home. Can't beat it.

Cons: Not enough blankets so we were a bit cold.

Pros: nice room, very convenient for function we were attending.

Cons: mattress was nice but bed was extremely noisy.
