Top Marin History Museum Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Rafael at Marin Center

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff were super friendly and helpful!!"

Marin Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at the Marin Lodge hotel many times. I like that this hotel is tucked away with many trees, it's peaceful and pretty. It seems that they recently bought new little refrigerators that are more quite. I stay there almost once each week to get a break from my 1 hour (or longer) commute from Concord to San Rafael...so, I'll be back."

Panama Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place always amazes me how the staff can be so courteous and never miss a beat. Parking is easy and walking distance from downtown San Rafael and the Marin County Transit Center. I enjoy that once I park my car I can walk wherever I want to go. And the hotel is located in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood."

North Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Really well located if you need to go to San Rafael. I was afraid of the noise (the 580 and the 101 are nearby), but turns out the sound proofing was good. To the best of my knowledge, there was no breakfast, but you can easily get something from Burger King or any of the gas stations within a 5 minute walk. Very good amenities (fridge, microwave, coffeee machine), staff very friendly. There were some food trucks a couple of minutes walk on the evening I arrived, excellent tacos and burritos. This ain't the Grand Hyatt, but I would definitely stay here again."

Views! Private&Spacious! 7BR+Loft, Sleeps 10-19, 21 fee. 15min=SF,GGB,Napa-Prkg!

10/10 Excellent

"The place was awesome!… Beautiful views, wonderful kitchen, well equipped in all other ways. It’s clear that this house is much loved. The hosts were awesome as well, very responsive and accommodating. Everyone in our group hopes to be back someday!"

Beautiful 1-Bedroom Unit - Quiet Neighborhood & Close Access to Vibrant Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was absolutely lovely! Everything was new, clean and lots of extras were included. Our host, Melanie, was fantastic. :) The pictures well represented the rental. It was an EXCELLENT location. Perfect for trips North to whale watch or South to Muir Woods and downtown San Francisco. It is important to remember that San Francisco is in the hills, and this is too. The area was nice, quiet and relaxing. We were able to enjoy quiet after our busy days of adventure. Highly recommend. :)"
