I liked the hotel for its location and the general layout of the hotel. Unfortunately, despite double windows, the freeway noise made it difficult to sleep. We realized that the sound was coming through the air conditioner/heater. So with the system turned off completely, I put two pillows up against the air conditioner, and then I could sleep. In the future, I will be sure to ask for a room with an even room number in order to avoid exposure to the freeway noise.

I stayed for 18 days because my home in marin was in construction. At first it was beautiful, staff were sweet. After a week I complained that the WiFi wasn’t working. They moved me to another room where the WiFi also wasn’t functioning. Finally, 24 hours before I left, I realized the WiFi worked in the hallway lounge area near my room. I sat in a comfortable chair and used the WiFi. However, some bugs bit me on my arm that rested on the chair and on my backside. The clothes I was wearing were infested. When I complained and asked for compensation, they gave me 10,000 Bonvoy points. No offer to replace my clothes or wash them, no offer for intervention of any kind.

I've stayed here multiple times now, and the staff at the San Rafael Four Points Hotel made all the difference for very positive experiences. I made several errors in managing my reservations and yet the staff members were always willing to sort things out quickly and cordially. I will not hesitate to stay here again and I highly recommend this hotel to everyone. Thank you!

Everything works. Very clean hotel, marvelous front desk, phenomenal house keeping. Lovely amenities including pool, spa & gym. Easy plentiful parking. Fresh coffee service every morning. There’s a pub and restaurant with limited operating hours. Would like a cable-stay machine and replacement of dumbbells stolen from the rack, and a working tv. Would like stronger tasting coffee for the coffee service.
