I arrived a bit late in the evening and was given room 154 which is located in the second courtyard. The parking IS a bit tight. The courtyard area is small and you pretty much have to back out of it in order to leave. I could see a fender bender occuring if some else were coming around the corner... More

Terrible. I am in room #138 date:2/2/2012 Room reeks of stale urine. There is literaly no cold water today. So I cannot flush the toilet or have a glass of water. Have not tried the shower yet. It does not appear to be a nice neighborhood as well. Hopefully I do not get attacked by bugs or something tonight. Fingers... More

This is a horrible hotel with no concern for your comfort or enjoyment during your stay. We stayed here over Christmas/New Year's and had numerous issues. Initially, the TV was not working properly so we were told by staff it was being fixed. Days passed and it still was not fixed nobody even attempted to come into our room to... More

$59.99 a night is reasonable for the San Rafael area but for Motel 6 this is expensive. So one would expect them to have their property well kept up. I have stayed in Motel 6 properties from coast to coast while traveling for business because I find them to be basic, clean and they meet my needs, nothing more, nothing... More

This is the place for you. Shabby room, no fridge, had to request microwave and blow drier. Impossible parking. Let's see, I could go on all day. But I won't. Send an extra couple of bucks and go down the road .... anywhere.

I am currently staying at this hotel while writing this review so it's a first hand account. The fire alarm is hanging from the ceiling by it's wires, the heater/ac unit is broken, there is padding missing from the carpet so it is uneven as you enter the room. Our fan in the bathroom doesn't even have a switch to... More

My husband and I were scheduled for a training near San Rafael. The day before it was to begin, I began having preterm contractions and was put on bed rest. I needed to be near my husband in case we had to get to a hospital so we decided getting a room for me would be good. My husband picked... More

The staff was welcoming. I found... More

extremely over priced for a small, dingy room with zero amenities even ifor the bay area. it's a good thing the television had such poor reception - when we turned it on it was tuned to a hardcore porn station. the high speed internet did work okay.
