Hospitality - The hotel staff was really helpful with every aspect of our stay. Food / Dining - Room rate included a free breakfast buffet. There was cooked to order food, including omelets, meats, etc. Fantastic spread! - Happy Hour - free cocktails during a couple of hours of happy hour (around 5-7pm, I believe). Great way to wind down... More

Can't thank you enough for your kind words about the hotel. It's nice to know that you enjoy all that Embassy Suites has to offer and that our location, as more and more people are finding out, works out well for going into the city, the local amusement parks and wine country. I appreciate your continued patronage to the hotel... More

First this is the best breakfast we have had from a hotel! Great selection, hot food, made to order omelets. The beds were a little firm for my liking, but the big spacious rooms were nice for all of us. Everyone was friendly, others had complained it looking old and while its not modern it is clean, the fact the... More

As with some other Embassy Suites we have stayed, this property is pretty worn. I used to think Embassy Suites was more upscale, but in recent years I have come to view them as a slightly above average hotel for families with children. This one falls into the same category. Positives: Nice location with nearby foothill views. Nice exterior architecture... More

$140/night is what I paid - not a bad hotel, just the price is too much for what you get. There is another hotel in San Rafael that is of equal quality and I can usually book for $100/night; has a restaurant/bar, breakfast, and very nice rooms. Not a terrible experience, just not worth the price; if you are going... More

Thank you for sharing your thoughts relative to your recent stay with us.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Embassy Suites in San Rafael. My husband and I have already booked our stay for Christmas since our children and grandchildren live in San Rafael. We also spent last Christmas here. We are very satisfied with everything the Embassy Suites offers us.
