Hotel Petaluma, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Hotel Petaluma, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good
"Aesthetically, the hotel is beautiful and very inviting. The architecture does dates the hotel but sets a homie mood. Cons: No designated parking on the property. The bakery/coffee shop was nice but lacked options. It was nice to see that the Hotel had a restaurant (The Shuckery), but if you’re not a fan of seafood, the unpleasant smell travels into the hotel lounge. Pros: Bar & lounge setting was very comfortable. Prompt service and friendly staff. Room was nice and no issues with hotel accommodations."
