Four Points by Sheraton San Rafael Marin County, hotel in San Rafael

Four Points by Sheraton San Rafael, 18 miles from Golden Gate Bridge, features a heated outdoor pool and hot tub. Rooms have free WiFi and 55-inch flat-screen TVs with in-room movies.

The room was very nice and comfortable, and in a good location for coming home to Terra Linda. The climate controls worked well. The outdoor patio area of the hotel looked inviting, but it was a bit chilly that weekend, and we had limited time.

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Rafael Marin County, hotel in San Rafael

Nestled north of the iconic San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, relax in a two-room suite at our San Rafael all-suite hotel adjacent to Northgate Mall and the Marin County Civic Center.

This was a great hotel, the location was nice, just a short drive away from several attractions and it was a quick drive to get to some shops and restaurants. The breakfast at the hotel is fantastic, plenty of fresh, hot and cold foods to choose from and you can get made-to-order omelettes. The bed was super comfy and the rooms seemed pretty sound proof which was nice. Great size room with modern fixtures.

AC Hotel by Marriott San Rafael, hotel in San Rafael

Located in San Rafael and with Golden Gate Bridge reachable within 14 miles, AC Hotel by Marriott San Rafael has concierge services, allergy-free rooms, a terrace, free WiFi and a restaurant.

I loved the coffee in the morning and the spacious on site gym is the nicest hotel gym I have ever seen/used. The hotel is in a central location and that made it a great choice for me, as I didn’t want to drive to restaurants. The hotel is clean and modern. I would recommend this hotel and will be returning.

    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.

    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.

    San Rafael was a great location for our mission of tracing ancestors in Marin County. It was also easy to get to the San Francisco bay area and beyond. Plenty of shops within a short drive. We even took a trip out to Napa while there.

    There are lots of restaurants on the main street.

    There are lots of restaurants on the main street. There are things to be seen in the surrounding area, but I have seen them before. This trip was to see people. I ate at IHOP, great friendly spot open until 10 pm. Also Phyliss's Giant Burgers - and that's no lie. I also had a very good crepe at the Crepevine Restaurant, which had a large selection of crepes, omelettes, sandwhiches and more.

    The staff was amazing from the front end to the cleaning crew. Everyone made me feel like family. this hotel is definitely high in the trust worthy aspect - I forgot my laptop in the lobby charging while I was at the restaurant and John the front end manager safely stored it away until I came looking. Absolutely highly recommending this hotel whenever you stay in this area this is the go to! Thank you also Mike for being a super General Manager and answering all of my questions and attending all of my needs.

    This was a real treat. The property is maintained so well. Everything is in good shape, the rooms are ample and comfortable and the bathroom facilities are excellent. It is very well located just off the freeway and while it looks less stellar than nearby hotels on the same block on the outside, the inside is great! Also, parking is ample and convenient and the manager is very friendly and helpful. It was extremely good value for the money.

    The retreat is very easy to reach from Hwy 101 and convenient to San Rafael and environs. You need a car to get around. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fine. The decor is clearly very well planned for the hosts. It was a little over the top for us but comfortable. Having access to a washer and dryer was great. As it was cold and rainy we couldn't take advantage of any nearby walking trails or outside spaces.

    Easy check-in, easy access to room without interacting with others (during Covid), free parking, not too far to downtown San Rafael, pleasant couple running the place, good enough coffee in the room, microwave and refrigerator, nice Scandinavian-style easy chair and hassock, bath gel as well as shampoo/conditioner, upgraded towels and sheets compared to a normal "budget" place. Peaceful and quiet, yet close to 101.

    I didn't eat the breakfast as I didn't have time. So I can't comment on that. I did like the room however. Brand new everything. No smell of cleaning products as you might find in some cheaper motels. Really comfortable beds. I had a very good night sleep which is exactly what I needed. The room served my needs at a very affordable price and I would definitely stay there again. Staff was very nice as well.

    Lovely location, close to everything but quiet and peaceful. Very spacious and comfortable, best night’s sleep we’ve had in quite some time! Loved everything about it! The owners were extremely responsive to questions and had excellent recommendations for restaurants and activities. Wish we could have stayed longer!!

    The location of the Panama Hotel was perfect for my needs. I hiked the China Camp State Park and the Panama Hotel was only minutes away. I really enjoyed having my own patio and garden area. The room was delightful with a microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker.
