Stayed here in March, 2013. Booked for 2 nights but stayed an extra night. Quiet, small mom & pop place only a mile or so from san rafael center. Has all the amenities but is very reasonable, clean and freshly re-done (at least our room was). Have a great ethnic dinner at Sol Puerto Rican restaurant (always crowded) only a... More

This place is close the Highway 101 but is quiet. The room was clean and very comfortable. It isn't luxurious but it is very functional with a nice bathroom and built in bed, desk, shelf, and drawers in the closet. I think they saved on furniture by building things in but it worked. I only sayed one night but it... More

You really can't beat the price. The rooms are nice enough. Newly upgraded and renovated rooms. The bedding and towels would be the next thing for the owner to work on. They are clean and acceptable, just not posh. The neighborhood is fine, but you really don't want to walk back to the hotel at night because of the methadone... More

Just off the main road and from the outside looks older but maintained. Inside room was completely renovated. Very good size tiled walk in shower ver modern and comfortable. It doesn't have a pool or exercise room but I didn't plan on spending time indoors doing that, especially this close to San Francisco. It also doesn't have a lobby but... More

When we drove up to this place, we were wondering just what it would be like. It was not easy to find in the dark, but thank goodness we did. The room was wonderful. It was clean, inviting, and very comfortable. I would recommend this place to everyone who wants a nice, quiet location at a very reasonable price.

I stay in motels about 200 nights per year. I really like the old school motor inns. Drive up, unload, sleep and go. This is one of the finest motor inns I have ever stayed in. The Innkeeper was very pleasant. The location was easy to find and GPS took me right there. Very clean and new. He is finishing... More

This little motel was absolutely wonderful. Quick and curteous service. The room was so cute and comfortable. Even though the price was one of the absolutely lowest in the entire area the room was a delight. The amazing king size bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever been in. It was just like mine at home... More

We stayed one night in August, 2012. The Inn itself was well maintained and landscaped. Our reservation and check-in were both handled well. The room was very up to date and had both a microwave and refrigerator. The bathroom was very clean and modern as well. The Colonial Inn is much less expensive than other facilities in the area.

My wife and I have traveled all over the world, and I can truthfully say that this is one of the most charming little motels we've experienced anywhere. It's not fancy, but it's newly remodeled, decorated on the outside with little trees and vines, clean, has gracious management, is modestly priced, and is in a quiet neighborhood. We'll stay there...
