Top Novato History Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Great location and the secured on-site parking was convenient. It was close to pier 39 and there were a few nice restaurants near by."

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

8/10 Good

"The location was very convenient. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the handicap-accessible parking was convenient. We had a room next to the elevator, and that was pretty noisy in the night, so you might want to bring earplugs. The espresso machine in the cafe was broken, and that was disappointing, but at least there was a Keurig in the room. Overall we recommend this hotel for its central location and friendly staff."

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Location is great, hotel is clean and friendly, has a bar, many gathering spaces, and a cafe, and parking ( for a reasonable fee). Highly recommend."

Napa River Inn

10/10 Excellent

"BEST hotel I have ever stayed at! Staff was so welcoming. They upgraded us for free. loved the pastry box."

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Great location friendly staff very pleasant stay"

Casa Mani Resort Napa Valley, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely renovated hotel and great rooms."

SENZA Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the staff very helpful."

Oxford Suites Sonoma County

10/10 Excellent

"It has all the amenities you would need."

Hotel Caza Fisherman´s Wharf

8/10 Good

"The entrance and bench out front was filthy with cigarettes everywhere and the coffee area was messy and trash laying around. The kids play area was not well kept at any given point. The room was fine, but very noisy. Sounded like the neighbors were coming into our room all night. The timer on the bathroom light could go without since it would time out while in the shower and no way to turn it back on. That was wildly annoying. Especially slipping when I got out. The pool was out of service which was a primary reason for this location. The parking fee not listed on reservations and insanely over priced!! Overall not very pleased"
