As I headed down 101S from Wine Country back towards San Jose on a Sunday evening, the traffic back-up looked interminable. The google map showed an extra hour and a half to get home - - and I was tired. The Petaluma exit sign got me thinking: there must be something in this town! And there was. Right next to... More

We arrived late at night with no reservation, and luckily they had one room left. Beautiful rooms (French decor), everything was clean and comfortable, and LOVED the 3 claw footed bathtub:) Doesn't look like much from the outside, but its worth it, and its quiet. We were after "comfortable and simple" and we got that and more. Yes some consider... More

This collection of cottages, walking distance from the river and downtown Petaluma, offers a great opportunity to escape the more "corporate" hotel offerings in the area. Rooms are decorated creatively with a unique blend of antiques, some French kitch, and modern furniture. The friendly hosts make their breakfast room with coffee and cake available, where travelers from all walks of... More

what a great experience, so much charm and comfortable accomodations. Our room was purple with a cute little clawfoot tub. The morning coffee and pastries were lovely too. We loved this place and will definitely return the next time we are in Petaluma :)

The hotel is a short 5 minute walk to downtown Petaluma, which makes the location ideal, but we found it to be a little overpriced for what you get. The obviously are going for the french chic look and they have managed to accomplish that. The room was spacious if not modern, but the bathroom left a lot to be... More

Instant favorite! We will definitely be back. Charming and welcoming with all the warm sincerety of home! If the Easy 6 Motel is more to your liking, then this may not be for you. From the moment we entered to see the winding white staircase this place was absolutely lovely. Our room was quaint and comfy and full of character.... More

Having stayed in hotels all across France (and Europe in general), very few come close to matching the style and comfort of the Metro Hotel. From what I believe are handmade bars of soap in each room, to the quirky furnishings (e.g., old-fashioned alarm clock and bathroom scale), to the unique and specific ways that the doors, cabinets, and bedside...

My son and I visited Petaluma for a book signing at a local bookstore and we stayed at the Metro Hotel. It was lovely! This is not your typical hotel so don't expect room service or anything like that. Our room was very clean and decorated beautifully. This reminds me more of a Bed & Breakfast than a hotel. It...

This is a charming, funky and unique hotel close to the heart of Petaluma. By the way, we do not think this is suitable for business travelers as it is relatively bareboned. Our visit started off on a bit of a sour note: we arrived 20 minutes before the clearly posted check-in time of 2:30 pm and when a man... More

This hotel is shabby chic perfect. The interior was colorfully and pleasantly decorated. Our room had its own private small yard with seating for 4. There was full DirecTV and wifi, a comfortable mattress. There was not an in-room refrigerator. Had it been hidden away, it would have been more convenient. The floor was slightly gritty with dust. That was... More
