Located in San Rafael just 12 miles from San Francisco, this hotel offers a continental breakfast. Boasting warm colours and rich wood furnishings, each room includes free WiFi.

A flat-screen TV with cable is featured in all rooms at North Bay Inn. Each elegant room includes tea and coffee-making facilities and a work desk. A fridge and microwave are provided.

This was a real treat. The property is maintained so well. Everything is in good shape, the rooms are ample and comfortable and the bathroom facilities are excellent. It is very well located just off the freeway and while it looks less stellar than nearby hotels on the same block on the outside, the inside is great! Also, parking is ample and convenient and the manager is very friendly and helpful. It was extremely good value for the money.

    All we wanted was a room so we didn't have to make a drive home from a wedding late at night. This was perfect! The price was extremely reasonable for the area. The whole motel was immaculate and the staff was so nice.

    In all my years, I have never had a motel call me the day of the booking and ask me if I am on the way and will I be here early because my room will be ready for us. Excellent communication...and the breakfast muffins were great!
