Ate dinner at Il Davida for Italian. The service was great and the food was better. Enjoyed our evening immensely. The dessert was the icing on the whole meal. Another evening we went to a local Mexican Restaurant Sabor a Mexico. Authentic and delicious.

San Rafael is a great base for exploring West Marin and the Wine Country with fabulous restaurants, and great local scenery. It has a lovely downtown. Don't overlook the neighboring communities and towns. Don't miss the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Civic Center.

Sam Rafael is close by Marin, Tiburon Sausalito ..Lots of fun places to go shop, eat and sight see. Here on a vacation with my daughter to visit friends. It is a good central and safe location. Would not stay at Embassy Suites again! It was the only negative in the entire trip.

San Raphael is a sweet little stop to stay on your way to visit Mt. Tamalpais. There are good restaurants within walking distance from the new Marriott in downtown. It is a quieter destination than the bigger cities like San Francisco or Berkley, which is nice. I highly recommend Il David to grab dinner.

The room was spacious and had great air conditioning.

The room was spacious and had great air conditioning. They had blackout drapes and a nice tub. I loved the shampoo and conditioner that was already in refillable dispensers in the tub/shower area. They also had every channel I could ask for with the TV and I was able to access my netflix as well. I will stay there again. Great value.

Breakfast was very basic but it was OK to start the day. The reception lady was delightful and welcoming. She was helpful when it came to room selection. Value ... hard for me to rate precisely for in the preceding weeks we had stayed at cheaper and better but in lower cost locations. We also stayed at more expensive and not so good so you make up your mind with regard to a multitude of choice factors. We will stay again.

Hotel was comfortable but a bit run down. It had a small air-conditioner in the room (very welcome in the heat). The hotel is in a very quiet location. San Rafael is an excellent base for exploring southern Marin County by public transport, because it has good train and bus links north and south, and to the ferry terminals; it has bus services west and east as well.
