Hotel Mac draws praise for its historic charm, clean and comfortable rooms, and a well-liked on-site Italian restaurant, while its Point Richmond location offers a walkable neighborhood with cafes, live music, and convenient access to local spots.
Check-in is contactless and code-based; several guests found instructions clear, but others missed a staffed front desk or reported confusing systems. Train and occasional freeway noise are noted, especially in Annex-area rooms, though earplugs are often provided. Recurring maintenance quirks include inoperable fireplaces, small or inconsistent TVs, and limited or weak climate control, and some concerns about gated parking convenience and security. Expect a charming, independent stay with minimal staff interaction and a few trade-offs.

Facilities
The on-site Italian restaurant and bar receive strong praise. Gated parking is available but can be inconvenient and some guests raised security concerns; access across multiple buildings uses contactless codes and there is no traditional lobby.

Strangest hotel I have ever stayed at. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The TV system was not intuitive at all, it certainly wasnt the typical hotel TV. While the hotel manager offered to come to my room to show me how to use it "once I got all my questions regarding the room together " I did not have time. No interaction with any staff except via text. Parking was in a gated parking area a block away, not very convienent when hauling several bags. You are given 4 different codes - parking lot car gate, parking lot pedestrian gate, hotel main entrance and room door. I am glad when I first left the room I checked to see if my door was locked when I closed it...it wasnt. Took me a bit to figure it out, but I had to press a button on the inside of the door for for to lock. This is an important piece of info that should be given in advance. I could have easily walked away with my door unlocked. Although the parking lot was gated, there were no security cameras visible anywhere. Neighboring parking lots had them. The gated area would be very easy to jump and therefore break in and steal your vehicle. It is a false sense of security. No where to unload at the hotel unless you double park and risk a ticket. You need a code to get in the main hotel door, but the neighboring restaurant has direct access and the elevator is not a keyed, so again a false sense of security. I cannot recommend this hotel and will not stay here again.

Our third stay here at this cute hotel for an annual overnight bike trip. We like the gated parking lot and close restaurants options. We previously stayed in main hotel and carriage house; were in Annex 202 this time. Room size is perfectly fine, but a much smaller bathroom in this 'economy' room. Stairs to room have two 90 degree turns, so if you have heavy or big items, consider a different room. AC struggled on a very hot (near 100). Our room was 87 degrees when we arrived at 5pm, and was still 82 at 9pm when we returned from dinner with it on full blast. Very nice that ear plugs are provided, but the train noise seemed less loud than our previous stays. As usual, the contactless instructions were complete and very clear. If it is your first stay make sure to read thoroughly as there is no front desk.

The good: - gorgeous, tiny period hotel, only 10 rooms. Rooms were comfortable and nicely-appointed with period furnishings. Coffeemaker and fridge, both big plusses. - terrific Italian restaurant and bar. - great location right in the heart of Point Richmond. The bad: - management is pitiful, and that's charitable. The hotel is run by a manager who lives in the hotel. We apparently mortally offended her by asking to check in early, although we told her we were OK with waiting if we could drop off our bags. - a few hours later, when we were able to check in, we used the door code to enter the hotel. We weren't sure where to go (it's not marked), so we asked a housekeeper where the office was. She pointed to a door. We knocked, and the manager opened the door a few inches and said, "This is my personal residence. Why are you here?" I told her we hadn't paid yet. She insisted Expedia had paid, and since we had no interest in spending any more time with this person, we left. - I asked for noon checkout instead of 11, and unsurprisingly got a speech about how this couldn't be done. - at 11.00am and 3 seconds, the housekeeper knocked. We told her we had called an Uber and would be out soon. Clearly the manager had her knock at exactly 11 to make a point. She did. We will never return to the Hotel Mac, and will tell anyone who will listen that (1) this is a terrific place and (2) its management is so bad that it's not worth the effort.

This hotel has three closely-located buildings; the original hotel and then two large-ish buildings across the street which you access from a different avenue (Railroad Avenue). We stayed in the closer Annex building, which appears to have three guest rooms. Our room was perfect, clean, and quiet — even with the railroad running parallel to Railroad Avenue. Two free bottles of water; auto-cup coffee/tea, kitchenette. Very comfortable and cozy room. Recommended that they provide more than the single roll of toilet paper which was already opened and out - could not find another one inside the room. i suspect the room attendant missed that accidentally. Great shower. Comfy bed. I would not recommend the limited-space gated parking; just find some street parking. There is ample street parking on the Railroad Ave side for the two other buildings; parking is sketchy because homeless folks live in the cars in the ample parking, and spend the day tinkering - they were not intrusive, but it was something we were not accustomed to seeing. There is no hotel lobby per se - they do “contactless entry”. We received an email with door and room codes and only communicated with staff through text. Early check in and late check in are available for additional fees, which you may be charged for if you use your door code earlier than check in at 3 pm or after checkout at 11 am, unless you have advance permission. We would stay here again, despite the learning curve.

We were asked to leave after giving an honest descriptions of the property such as smoked smell in the room which caused us to leave the window open which added loud noise of the train running next the property. Also, what we saw such as a drunk and homeless person next the property. A person who refused give out her name said that they can't help what's outside such as train tacks or the homeless people. We were not asking for the change we simply described the real things we saw which is standard things when you write the reviews. So, they only want the stellar reviews and if not, they will say "this is not for you".

Room was very clean and check in and communication was excellent. The only complaint would be the shower. There wasn’t a tub, so when you showered, the floor would get all wet. Walls are thin, so you were able to hear other guests quite well. Area is really cute with lots of shop and places to eat within walking distance.

This was our second stay at Hotel Mac. We like the location despite the proximity to freeway and train yard noises. The empty in-room fridge is handy, as is the microwave oven down the hall. Glad that the restaurant on the ground floor has reopened so you can go down to enjoy their AC and have a drink. Room 306 overlooks the parking lot, and has only one window that opens. Since it was unusually hot during our stay, we attempted to turn on the AC using the thermostat in the room which showed it at 81 degrees. When we sent a text to ask about the AC we learned there isn't any, "use the fan in the closet and open the window" was the reply. The TV is a streaming service, so finding local news is not so easy. Also due to limited electric plugs, if you plan to stay here bring a power strip and be prepared to move the furniture and unplug other things (the alarm clock) so you can charge phones and computers. This place must have a problem with trespassers and theft of items in the rooms - we received a stern warning with our check-in instructions that "all items are inventoried during room turnover and any missing items will be charged to your credit card", also "do not let anyone follow you inside - if they say they forgot their check-in code, tell them to ring the doorbell for help." The gated parking lot had two vagrants sitting inside the lot hanging out. We were informed by a friend who lives nearby that they are "regulars" who roam the streets.

Our room was lovely and we enjoyed our stay and would stay again! How can I order a couple Hotel Mac coffee nugs? Those are awesome!!

This is the second time we have stayed there and a few things need to be fixed. Unfortunately the fireplace did not work and that was half the reason we booked that particular room. The TV in the bedroom is way to small and does not have the same channels that the living room TV has. Both remotes needed batteries. The bedroom wall socket cover fell off when my husband went to plug in his phone charger and on the other side of the bed both sockets were full, no place to plug in a charger or anything else. Restaurant was wonderful though.

I’ve stayed at Hotel Mack multiple times. First time staying in the Annex. The room was very clean. Some maintenance attention: There were a few burned out lights bulbs, carpet stains, shower door didn’t shut leaving a space for water to leak out. There was a kuerig coffee maker on the desk. However, there was no way to plug it in. I had to move it to a different location in the room to plug it in. The entrance door to the Annex needs maintenance attention. It does not shut and lock properly which is a security concern. If you don’t mind loud train noises, this is the room for you. They do leave earplugs for you in the room.

However, there was no way to plug it in. I had to move it to a different location in the room to plug it in. The entrance door to the Annex needs maintenance attention. It does not shut and lock properly which is a security concern. If you don’t mind loud train noises, this is the room for you. They do leave earplugs for you in the room.

Service
Service is largely contactless via codes, texts, and emails; many found instructions clear and communication responsive, but others felt it was impersonal, intermittently unhelpful, or experienced delays with room readiness. Experiences with management vary from friendly and accommodating to frustrating.

Strangest hotel I have ever stayed at. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The TV system was not intuitive at all, it certainly wasnt the typical hotel TV. While the hotel manager offered to come to my room to show me how to use it "once I got all my questions regarding the room together " I did not have time. No interaction with any staff except via text. Parking was in a gated parking area a block away, not very convienent when hauling several bags. You are given 4 different codes - parking lot car gate, parking lot pedestrian gate, hotel main entrance and room door. I am glad when I first left the room I checked to see if my door was locked when I closed it...it wasnt. Took me a bit to figure it out, but I had to press a button on the inside of the door for for to lock. This is an important piece of info that should be given in advance. I could have easily walked away with my door unlocked. Although the parking lot was gated, there were no security cameras visible anywhere. Neighboring parking lots had them. The gated area would be very easy to jump and therefore break in and steal your vehicle. It is a false sense of security. No where to unload at the hotel unless you double park and risk a ticket. You need a code to get in the main hotel door, but the neighboring restaurant has direct access and the elevator is not a keyed, so again a false sense of security. I cannot recommend this hotel and will not stay here again.

Good location and nice room! It would be nice if there was a reception or someone to talk to. Having to call someone is not as convenient and staff was not always friendly or helpful. Nice to be able to walk to coffee shop and restaurants. Overall recommend the place!

The good: - gorgeous, tiny period hotel, only 10 rooms. Rooms were comfortable and nicely-appointed with period furnishings. Coffeemaker and fridge, both big plusses. - terrific Italian restaurant and bar. - great location right in the heart of Point Richmond. The bad: - management is pitiful, and that's charitable. The hotel is run by a manager who lives in the hotel. We apparently mortally offended her by asking to check in early, although we told her we were OK with waiting if we could drop off our bags. - a few hours later, when we were able to check in, we used the door code to enter the hotel. We weren't sure where to go (it's not marked), so we asked a housekeeper where the office was. She pointed to a door. We knocked, and the manager opened the door a few inches and said, "This is my personal residence. Why are you here?" I told her we hadn't paid yet. She insisted Expedia had paid, and since we had no interest in spending any more time with this person, we left. - I asked for noon checkout instead of 11, and unsurprisingly got a speech about how this couldn't be done. - at 11.00am and 3 seconds, the housekeeper knocked. We told her we had called an Uber and would be out soon. Clearly the manager had her knock at exactly 11 to make a point. She did. We will never return to the Hotel Mac, and will tell anyone who will listen that (1) this is a terrific place and (2) its management is so bad that it's not worth the effort.

Very clean, well-appointed room. The staff/management were great about communicating with me (via both email and text) the check-in procedures (altered a bit because of COVID). And they graciously allowed me to check in early when I arrived ahead of schedule. When I go back to Richmond, The Mac will be my top choice for a place to stay.

This hotel has three closely-located buildings; the original hotel and then two large-ish buildings across the street which you access from a different avenue (Railroad Avenue). We stayed in the closer Annex building, which appears to have three guest rooms. Our room was perfect, clean, and quiet — even with the railroad running parallel to Railroad Avenue. Two free bottles of water; auto-cup coffee/tea, kitchenette. Very comfortable and cozy room. Recommended that they provide more than the single roll of toilet paper which was already opened and out - could not find another one inside the room. i suspect the room attendant missed that accidentally. Great shower. Comfy bed. I would not recommend the limited-space gated parking; just find some street parking. There is ample street parking on the Railroad Ave side for the two other buildings; parking is sketchy because homeless folks live in the cars in the ample parking, and spend the day tinkering - they were not intrusive, but it was something we were not accustomed to seeing. There is no hotel lobby per se - they do “contactless entry”. We received an email with door and room codes and only communicated with staff through text. Early check in and late check in are available for additional fees, which you may be charged for if you use your door code earlier than check in at 3 pm or after checkout at 11 am, unless you have advance permission. We would stay here again, despite the learning curve.

This was our second stay at Hotel Mac. We like the location despite the proximity to freeway and train yard noises. The empty in-room fridge is handy, as is the microwave oven down the hall. Glad that the restaurant on the ground floor has reopened so you can go down to enjoy their AC and have a drink. Room 306 overlooks the parking lot, and has only one window that opens. Since it was unusually hot during our stay, we attempted to turn on the AC using the thermostat in the room which showed it at 81 degrees. When we sent a text to ask about the AC we learned there isn't any, "use the fan in the closet and open the window" was the reply. The TV is a streaming service, so finding local news is not so easy. Also due to limited electric plugs, if you plan to stay here bring a power strip and be prepared to move the furniture and unplug other things (the alarm clock) so you can charge phones and computers. This place must have a problem with trespassers and theft of items in the rooms - we received a stern warning with our check-in instructions that "all items are inventoried during room turnover and any missing items will be charged to your credit card", also "do not let anyone follow you inside - if they say they forgot their check-in code, tell them to ring the doorbell for help." The gated parking lot had two vagrants sitting inside the lot hanging out. We were informed by a friend who lives nearby that they are "regulars" who roam the streets.

There are several properties associated with Hotel Mac. We were in the Annex which was a very nice well kept building. It is near a railyard so there was some noise related to that. The hotel provided earplugs which neither myself nor my husband used and we both slept well.

We were asked to leave after giving an honest descriptions of the property such as smoked smell in the room which caused us to leave the window open which added loud noise of the train running next the property. Also, what we saw such as a drunk and homeless person next the property. A person who refused give out her name said that they can't help what's outside such as train tacks or the homeless people. We were not asking for the change we simply described the real things we saw which is standard things when you write the reviews. So, they only want the stellar reviews and if not, they will say "this is not for you".

This is our second time at this hotel. We found it by chance last year on a road trip and sought it out again this year on a road trip to look at California colleges. Hotel Mac is a historical hotel with so much charm and character. It is so refreshing to avoid chain hotels and find gems like this. Check in is contactless and easy to navigate with free, convenient parking. The town is walkable and the charm continues there. In a short outing to find dinner, my family saw people going into a play, heard live music and had several choices for dinner including Thai, a taqueria, pizza and a pub. The hotel is very quiet with spacious rooms. We had everything we needed with classic decor and a keurig machine. It was clean with a lovely view of the town. Little Louie’s across the street was delightful for breakfast. Hotel Mac is a diamond in the rough!

Would stay again. All self-serve for check in, son no way to address staff helpfulness. But those in restaurant were great. Restaurant onsite was good, parking lot insufficient. We had a gate code but when we went to park after our event all the spaces were full. Mugs in room are unique. It’d be nice if there was a way to buy them/posted price in room maybe? Comfortable bed. French doors btn bed area and seating area in the Bellows/301 room was nice if one wants to sleep and a roomie wants to watch tv or enjoy fireplace and have access to fridge/microwave/keurig etc. Shutters are solid but a little light leaks in at edges. Lots of extra pillows and space heaters were helpful. Great for couple. Few-to-no kids yelling or running around the property. 🙌

This is a hidden gem, a beautiful space that I really wish I had spent more time in! A great price for a beautiful and comfortable room--excellent bed! The only pick up was parking and it was not at all because of property or the staff. Parking for my building (the Annex) was in a small gated lot... The only space left was blocked by some gigantic truck who couldn't Park straight. The only minor, minor problem in the room was the coffee pot which was left on a desk that had no outlet. Then it overflowed the mugin the room. Again, minor thing.

Check in was confusing at best- there are many codes to get in to hotel and parking and due to us booking on 3rd party site we missed messages from the hotel..when we went to check in the staff on the phone was not only unhelpful (there is no front desk) but actually seemed upset at us for booking on hotels dot com. We chalked up the rude check in behavior to a bad experience, and moved on....We found that we had booked in the "annex" - be aware even though it says its an adjacent building its on another block and much closer to the very loud train tracks. This was all ok honestly. Later we discovered a major safety issue in the room and asked to move rooms, were told it could be repaired and they could not swap our rooms- the person saying they would come to the room personally (which honestly seemed threatening at that point!) and then were hung up on. We decided to quickly pack and leave and get a different hotel and deal with the rest later as we felt unsafe. Eventually we received a text saying we could move to another room (just for the night lol) while issue was being repaired. I am still in shock at the whole experience. I am familiar with the hotel and was looking forward to having other family stay there when they visit the area later this year, but never again. We have still not heard from the hotel, we requested a refund but I'm sure they will reject it, so will end up eating cost of a 2 night stay.
