I am very surprised to see a small Inn in the middle of an urban area be so nice. An old building but well maintained by the owners who seem to take pride in their work and guest service. Safe area surrounded by many homes and apartments. Very close to downtown San Rafael. A complimentary selection of fruit, pastries and coffee is available in the morning.
