San Rafael Mission San Rafael Arcangel Hotels

"Our room was on the side very close to a busy highway with windows that did not block the sound. It didn’t help that someone had left. Two of the windows open also, which we did not discover until morning. The property was probably a decent value for the size of the rooms and the kitchennettes that were included. I think we would have enjoyed the room much more had we’ve been facing the courtyard. I did not feel very comfortable in the area. It seemed like there were some vagrants in the parking area. Elevator was very small, and seemed very old. I think this hotel could be a very helpful affordable place to stay, especially when traveling with multiple children or teens."

"Easy,free parking. Walked to town for dinner. Coffee available in the morning, along with fruit and muffins,etc. worked out well for us after a long day of travel."

"Really nice, clean hotel. We especially loved the free drinks every night! Also, parking is free, which is always a plus."

"Villa Inn is a budget motel and served our purpose well - it was clean and quiet. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a little underwhelming compared to other hotels but it worked for the one morning we were there."

"This property welcomed pets. We were so happy! We sat out on the deck looking out from the tree tops while enjoying amazing views of the San Rafel Bridge and the Bay Bridge. We felt treehouse vibes in this humble studio with great space & functionality. The owner was super communicative with us. We highly recommend this VRBO. "

"Advertised as a hotel but was a motel. Run down and gross. Even killed a cockroach in our room."

"Panama Hotel is a locally owned independent hotel in a rambling historic home on B-street. It's a quirky hotel, not just another Marriott or some other forgettable corporate brand, Instead, this is a structure with a real sense of place. I stayed in the "boudoir room" and really enjoyed it - lovely room with large bathroom, clean and well maintained, with my own little balcony to have my morning coffee on. I travel to San Rafael frequently and the chain hotels get pretty forgettable and empty after a while. Panama Hotel has a lot of character. The rooms was cosy and breezy with a view of gorgeous trees, the bed and bath linens were spotless and soft, the hot water plentiful, the water pressure strong, and a coffee pot in the room. I will definitely be back."

"The European buffet breakfast was excellent and economical. Rooms were super quiet. Great rooftop bar"

"We had a great stay at this home. It was very clean and had a charming old Hollywood California bungalow feel; high ceilings, beautiful character, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that felt straight out of films.The decor was tasteful without being cluttered, and the home had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like providing toilet paper, shampoo, granola bars and coffee, which made settling in easy without an immediate grocery run.The neighborhood is lovely, quiet and very walkable. It was easy to stroll to nearby restaurants and shops in San Rafael, which made the location especially convenient.It’s an older home, which really adds to its charm and character- just something to keep in mind that some features, like the bathroom and lighting, reflect that vintage style. It didn’t impact our stay at all, but helpful to know if you’re used to more modern setups.Overall, a cozy, character-filled place in a fantastic location. We’d definitely stay again."
