Hotel Petaluma, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Hotel Petaluma, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Room was great, clean, nice place. Wasn’t a fan of the ac being controlled by a movement sensor. I’ll probably read up on how to override it next time. But it cools off at night so it’s ok. The staff here is great and super helpful. The room was nice and the building is historic and modern at the same time. Great location. Would book again."

"We had a wonderful stay there. The check in was seamless. I wasn't receiving the check in information on my phone and the staff was very responsive and went over and above to make sure I got the check in information. The location was perfect being right next to some great places to eat. We had a fantastic view of the water from our room and we could walk everywhere we wanted. The room was nice and clean."

"Just stayed one night. Had a problem getting TV to work...repair guy came almost immediately. All the staff is super nice and helpful. The pool is great...not over-chlorinated. We did not use the Jacuzzi. Really nice location...we were able to see the sunset from our balcony. Won't hesitate to visit again."
