Top Marin History Museum Hotel Reviews

SureStay Hotel by Best Western San Rafael

8/10 Good

"carpets are really dirty, i would want to bring extra towels to throw down for walking around barefoot. no soap at sink; the body wash and shampoo + conditioner options in shower appear to be the same pink goop so don't expect nice hair or fresh skin if using those staff was not very welcoming.., not rude but not friendly. their dog is, though! :) might bark at first, but after a couple sniffs and chin/cheek scratch it was all good. stayed two nights and it served purpose"

Marin Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful lounge area by the pool, full kitchen with plates and silverware, full size fridge, stove and microwave. Separate bedroom from living area. Close to freeway, gas station and shopping center."

"Cozy stay. Comfy bed with clean sheets. Some rooms require a shared bathroom so plan accordingly. I enjoyed the location for what it is. Onsite restaurant is a perk but no alcohol served. Also no elevator."

Charming 2.5 bedroom 1 bath house with Heated floor, WiFi in peaceful San Rafael

10/10 Excellent

"This was a good place to stay in the Gerstle Park neighborhood. It is a spacious and comfortable place. It was good for our dogs as well. We enjoyed our time here, and communication with the host was clear. Thanks!"

Simply marvelous 2 bedroom with kitchenette, grilling patio and grand balcony

10/10 Excellent

"Such a lovely view - drinking coffee on the good sized balcony felt like I was up in a tree house amidst the greenery. In reality you are less than a mile walk down hill to the vibrant San Rafael Downtown. The host responded quickly when I had walking direction questions. The shower was a dream. The bed was very comfortable and I had lots of room to make myself at home. Street parking was easy during the day but a bit challenging coming home after evening outings. I would totally come back next time I’m seeing friends in Marin easy to navigate to from the freeway."

Location! Private Cottage, Quiet, Garden, Walk downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Exactly as described, would definitely stay again."

Charming Mediterranean Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right in downtown San Rafael. Super quiet at night. Love having the windows open at night. Beautiful old home!"
