Bedbugs, Filthy, Bed bugs, Dirty, Bedbugs, Unclean, Bed bugs. A third world experience. A 60$ nightly rate in San Rafael, Marin County, CA, is an undeniably excellent rate for a single, NONSMOKER motel rate in the SF Bay Area or specifically, my beloved Marin County. However, the motel staff, while minimally helpful, was "filling in" while the owner/manager was on... More

This looked good on line so we reserved for a couple of nights. While checking in at the closet-size office, a "colorful" character drinking a beer from a brown paper sack walked in along with his shaggy dog. He looked over my shoulder and assured me that this was a nice place. We weren't so sure, so I requested to... More

Colonial inn looks great and comfortable from the outside, but the inside tells a different story. I read previous reviews of this motel and knew what to expect. We were driving into town late and just needed a place to rest our heads Not for the patron who wants to stay in their hotel room all day. Small, outdated, quiet,... More

We spent one night at this motel after a day sightseeing S.F. and would not recommend it. The outside was inviting and the location is excellent, located in a quiet spot of San Rafael. However, everything is very old. Not in a good, charming way. The inside of the room had a terrible stench. The carpet was so old and... More

If you are a stickler for updated carpets, roomy bathrooms, and fresh paint, the Colonial is not for you. However, if you appreciate an old-fashioned tiled shower, family-run business, and a room that can function as a studio apartment for an extended stay, this is a great spot. There is a roomy closet, refrigerator (alas, no microwave), king bed, desk... More

This is basically a clean (in fact very clean), maintained, old style side of the road motel. The rate is low becuase it is basic with no amenities (does have wireless and large selection of tv channels). If you just need a place to sleep it is fine. If you want a pool (or even a bath tub) this is... More

1. The staff there were very rude , to us on arrival , we were not welcomed. We were given no info about when to leave, for the day we were due to leave. 2. The man there refused to give us a receipt after charging us more than the price quoted by Priceline and he would not take debt/credit... More

considering that the rate i received on expedia was considerably lower than the rate of any other area hotel, this was a very goo deal. the room was very clean and large. it had a fridge (no microwaves contrary to what some websites say), a table and 2 chairs, flat screen tv with expanded cable, large desk and chair and...

We certainly would not return to this hotel. The location was perfect, the motel was cheap. However you had to climb over the toilet to sit down on it, but that wasn't the reason that we would not return. Writing an article, I had lost track of the time and it was check out at 11 AM. The manager called... More
