I stayed here for a work trip that brought me to the area. Very kind host upon arrival who showed me to my room. A family run business - they took a historic mansion and converted it to a hotel - and a welcome change from the typical chain hotel. Clean room, comfortable bed and convenient location. I would stay... More

I found Metro Hotel online and was quite intrigued by what I saw. It looked very unique so I reserved a room for a Saturday night. It must have been the last room available in this fascinating house cuz the window in my room "looked" out onto an inside stairway and hall. Hmm. Above the incredibly comfortable bed were two...

An unexpected find- reminiscent of an out-of-the way place in the French countryside. Quiet, with a kind of shabby chic ambience. It helps to be a little adventurous to stay here. No cafe as yet, but there are places close by. All in all, a place you will not soon forget.

We were absolutely thrilled with every aspect of arrival, accommodations, amenities and ambiance! When we hadn’t checked in by 7:30pm, we received a very helpful voicemail on the exact instructions for getting to our room after 8pm. We were greeted and escorted to our room and found it to be absolutely charming with amazing attention to detail while being spotless.... More

I stay at the Metro every time I travel from SF to Nor Cal, Mendocino, and have always felt completely at ease there. It's very clean, comfortable, and affordable. Plus the owners are really lovely people, the kind you like to contribute too.

When you head north from San Francisco, the first town in Sonoma County is Petaluma. If you're looking there for an alternative to the several chain hotel/motels, consider the Metro Hotel, which is off-beat in the good sense of the word, with a unique (French) style. Not all the rooms are at the main location. However, some of the units... More

We four sisters, ages 52 to 64, stayed here for one night a year ago on a little road trip. It's really pretty funky and not really that "charming", more hostel-like, as one of my sisters described it, but the room I stayed in was clean, the bed was comfortable and there were 2 windows that I was able to...

There's not a lot of choices in this area, so this was a gamble for us. It paid off. The hotel has an inviting, warm, stylish ambiance and the room was very comfy and sweet. A bit light on the hot water, but we managed. A nice retreat as you pass through this funky town.

This hotel has a lot of potential. They try to market themselves as having "french charm" but what that apparently means is "crappy old things." They just did a shoddy job of trying to make the place cute. Attention to detail was not paid. There were nails and screws sticking out of the wall. The smoke detector had been ripped... More

Four family members arrived several hours before check in time and really appreciated checking in early and being given the option of four different rooms for our stay. It was great to dump our bags and take off for the many activities all week and a short drive or walk of the hotel. Both our rooms had nice bathtubs, comfortable... More
