Peaceful night stay when visiting San Rafael
We come to San Rafael to visit grandparents. The Villa Inn is a nice place for an overnight stay that is close to downtown and where the family live. The continental breakfast really helps us get up in the morning and energized for the day. Friendly staff at the front desk. Quiet neighborhood.

I was able to park in the back which was very quiet. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable, which made my stay very relaxing. It isn't a real fancy place as it's an older inn, but it met my needs. I would definitely stay again.
