Amazing Inn to relax in San Rafael
It was amazingly clean. Modern yet retro, comfortable and quiet! We will go back and stay longer I am sure. The offer a continental breakfast, which was very nice, and there is an amazing cafe on site that serves really good food! Wish they had white zen in the bar! But dinner was amazing.

Family Friendly
The rooms were clean, and overall location felt safe. The only bummer was that the adjacent restaurant was closed during our stay, and as a family that was part of why we booked our rooms here so on our arrival after driving all day we didn't have to drive further to find dinner. Good news is, the person that checked us in said it was opening back up the next week.

The reviews were so positive I decided to stay here and the price for the area is pretty great, but the building is worn and old and the staff seemed slightly irritated when I checked in. It was fine for my stay but should be noted everything is pretty worn.
