A safe, clean and no-frills inexpensive place to stay just outside San Rafael. Among many places much more pricey, it's a find. I haven't tried to adjoining restaurant or its free continental breakfast. I'll let others review it.

This is an older hotel but well-kept. The staff is very nice, there's a restaurant-bar connected to the hotel. The room is spacious and nice and clean. It is a bit older but we like to think it has character. Very comfortable.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I’ve stayed at Villa Inn, three times, in the past. This time, my experience was much worse. My neighbors directly above me were partying until 1am for 3 nights in a row. Also, during most nights, I had a terrible WiFi reception in my room. Otherwise, room was clean, maid service was pretty responsive, and front desk staff were very nice. Continental breakfast was okay.

Angelique

This hotel is located in nice location for visit to Muir Woods and Point Reyes. I like that they have parking for all guests. The front desk lady was very kind and helpful. Also the restaurant (not associated with hotel) has excellent food and service. It provides the convenience for dinner after a long day. The hotel room itself is only OK. It’s a old Inn. The bed is comfortable though.
