Find Beach Hotels in San Rafael, CA

"We found this place nestled on the waterfront in very say area of Berkeley/ Oakland some time last year but on a quick pass through. I decided to book a weekend, get out of the Humboldt County cold rain and do fun city stuff and got everything we had wished for. Great trails around the Bayfront for a beautiful morning walk. Great if you have a dog or jog in the morning. We avoided the $40 parking parking just outside the gate lot along the trail which was filled with lots of other cars and seemed safe by the absence of glass on the ground that one might expect. The bar/ restaurant are expensive but I guess what isn’t these days and we are on the waterfront in one of the most expensive city areas in the nation. There’s just something that always feels insulting about paying $11 for a beer and upwards of $20 for a cocktail. My only gripes is we booked largely for the beautiful pool use for our teenagers but apparently everyone within a 500 mile radius did the same cuz it was packed every evening to the point my kids refuse to deal with it. The gave it another try in the morning but the pool was out of service due to shock treatment as a result of the gazillion kids in it the day before. The coffee in the lobby was pitiful. It’s a self serve station like you see in every other hotel on earth except it’s. It complimentary, they charge $7 for a 16oz cup and it’s not even good coffee. Other than that, the place is really lovely. "
