"Jennifer's Room Misrepresented - No Bathroom"

2.0

The listing of this hotel significantly misrepresents the actual accommodations. Jennifer's Room is listed with the following amenities: shower/tub combo, toilet, air conditioning, and photos of the room show a large space with a dining area. In reality, the dining area is completely detached from the room, located across the hallway, and is a common space for all guests; the room itself is juuust large enough to fit a double bed and nothing more. The room had absolutely no air conditioning or vents; the only air conditioning was in the hallway, and the room itself only had a ceiling fan and a baseboard heater. The stated bathroom amenities were actually two shared bathrooms in the hallway, one of which was out of order when I arrived. The listing did not show any photos of the bathroom which should have raised alarm bells but because it was listed in the amenities I did not think anything of it. The listing should EXPLICITLY state that it is a shared bathroom, but it does not, which is intentionally misleading. I contacted hotels.com immediately upon arriving at the hotel to cancel my stay at 10pm when I checked in, and I did not stay at the property at all. Despite hotels.com escalating my cancellation request, the hotel has refused to provide a refund, even though their listing is demonstrably inaccurate and misleading. I will be reporting fraud to my credit card company.

"Good"

2.0

This hotel should have its license revoked. The room I booked apparently had a broken toilet, which I did not find out until I checked in, gave my cc and id, and was taken to a completely different room. The room I was taken to had a 6 inch at least dip in the mattress visible from the door. I asked to see an alternative room and that room had bleach stains all over the bedding. Not only this, but the hotel was under construction and I saw no other guests or staff except the person who checked me in. When I said that I did not feel comfortable staying there and requested a refund, they refused.

"Booked to be nearer the airport for our one night stay, comfortable bed and friendly staff."

7.0

Lovely comfortable bed and quiet location. Staff were very helpful.

The pictures on the website did not really depict the hotel interior condition exactly. It was much more run down than expected although we only stayed for one night to be nearer to the airport for our trip home. Nothing really to see in San Rafael so wouldn't recommend it for a holiday destination.

"Cute vintage charm but could use a little more attention to details"

8.0

Vintage charm of the hotel was nice. The bed was comfortable and the front porch was an added perk. The location is great and the kitchenette in the common area was helpful.

Main lobby/restaurant area could have been cleaned up or organized a little better. The Tv in Roy Rodger’s room was cracked.
