Top Marin County Civic Center Hotel Reviews

Simply marvelous 2 bedroom with kitchenette, grilling patio and grand balcony

10/10 Excellent

"Such a lovely view - drinking coffee on the good sized balcony felt like I was up in a tree house amidst the greenery. In reality you are less than a mile walk down hill to the vibrant San Rafael Downtown. The host responded quickly when I had walking direction questions. The shower was a dream. The bed was very comfortable and I had lots of room to make myself at home. Street parking was easy during the day but a bit challenging coming home after evening outings. I would totally come back next time I’m seeing friends in Marin easy to navigate to from the freeway."

Magnificent Canyon View, Huge Deck, Outdoor Dining

10/10 Excellent

"The property was absolutely beautiful! It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The mountain views were breathtaking, and seeing the deer grazing nearby made it even more special. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this beautiful property!"

Panama Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is located in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from the peaceful Albert Park in San Rafael. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff are very kind. It is a great place to take the time to rest and relax on a long trip."

The Marin Modern, 2BR/2BA + Private Garage

10/10 Excellent

"Ideal place if you want to stay close to downtown. Able to walk many places we went. Hosts super responsive and accommodating"

Charming Mediterranean Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right in downtown San Rafael. Super quiet at night. Love having the windows open at night. Beautiful old home!"

Hilldale Studio - in the heart of Marin County

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely place with a very quirky parking spot. Once you figure out the parking it was terrific and felt like sleeping in a treehouse. We really enjoyed using the bicycles and the sauna, although both probably need a wee bit of attention as the bike handlebars could use new grip and the sauna water needed refreshing. Still this was a really great value."

Hot Tub/Sauna/Jacuzzi/Massage Chair/Pets/ Fireplace/15 Min to Golden Gate Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful, peaceful and relaxing stay."

Cheerful home in Heart of Marin County

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect home base for us during this trip, great central location for all kinds of Bay Area activities! Incredible amount of space and the owner thought of everything!"
