We have just returned from a week in the San Francisco area. The Villa Inn is magnificent and we have never experienced such incredible service before. It is conveniently located between San Francisco, Napa Valley and Saucelito. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a fabulous complimentary continental breakfast and free wireless internet...which you don't even get at... more

My wife and I were enjoying a little driving tour of the bay area, (we live in the central valley). We drove thru San Jose, down to Santa Cruz and started up the coast. We thought we could get a room in Half Moon Bay but everything was sold out due to various activities in the Bay Area during that... more

An example of deferred maintainence...and we learned why at breakfast the next morning. The motel is clean but NOISY (this is structural--thin walls + outside frwy noise, see below]) and VERY SHABBY. There was a hole in the wall above the bed, and a hole in the blanket. Bed itself was basic and comfortable. Sound of the Freeway behind the... more

stayed here several times, clean rooms and good location. Close to main street of San Rafael with great highway access to San Fran, Sausalito, Sonoma and Napa. Not a 5 star hotel, but you get good value for the money. more

I've stayed at this hotel 5 times within the past 3 years. I find the management very helpful, and the rooms clean, large and serviceable. This is an excellent hotel for wheelchair users, as the rooms are very spacious, everything is accessible and the management welcomes service dogs. I always stay at this hotel when I am in Marin. It... more

We were very hesitant to book a "mom & pop motel" sight unseen, in a city we didn't know, but after reading several reviews on the internet we went ahead. We were very pleasantly surprised. It's a fairly large property - about 60 units. It's located in an almost residential area. A nice neighborhood away from the freeway. It's run... more

I had a reservation for a king room at this inn for my son's soccer tournament. When I made the reservation I was not told the pool was out-of-order. I found this out through another family that was planning to stay there until they found this out. When I called to cancel my reservaton, the man was rude and spiteful.... more

This small hotel is located right outside downtown San Rafael. It is clean, and has all the basics that we needed for a three day stay. We like the quite neighborhhood location and the $ 59.99 rate is a very prestigious area. more
