Top Novato History Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, breakfast was excellent."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, responsive staff."

Hotel Zephyr San Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time staying at the Zephyr hotel and would definitely stay again. Our rooms were clean, and staff was very helpful."

Hotel Caza Fisherman´s Wharf

8/10 Good

"Very convenient walking distance to Ghirardelli square. Also right up front is one of the stations for the Big Bus hop on hop off tour if you like that like we do. Pool was closed for renovations and it did not say at reservation time so that was a little but of a bummer. Area around felt pretty safe to walk at night. Overall I would return"

Elm House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Small but comfy rooms. Enjoyed cookie hour and washrooms were very spacious. Breakfast was really good!"

The Charles Napa, an Artfully Designed Inclusive Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Love Joy friendly and knowledgeable! The whole staff"

Archer Hotel Napa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place for couples in the heart of downtown Napa Construction next door hurt the vibe, and valet was packed when we arrived, so we parked nearby on the street and moved the car the next day to a new spot. This worked out each day, probably because it was not high tourist season. The rooftop is nice, but the bar food was average. Most people probably go for drinks. Go somewhere else for meals. Saturday night had live music in the lobby, which was wonderful. People were singing along and dancing."

The Lodge at Tiburon

8/10 Good

"Room was average, ample parking, but it is not gated as I saw in another review. Coffee in room was good, Starbucks."

DoubleTree by Hilton Sonoma - Wine Country

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service. Well maintained property and convenient location."
