Panama Hotel and Suites

Panama Hotel is a locally owned independent hotel in a rambling historic home on B-street. It's a quirky hotel, not just another Marriott or some other forgettable corporate brand, Instead, this is a structure with a real sense of place. I stayed in the "boudoir room" and really enjoyed it - lovely room with large bathroom, clean and well maintained, with my own little balcony to have my morning coffee on. I travel to San Rafael frequently and the chain hotels get pretty forgettable and empty after a while. Panama Hotel has a lot of character. The rooms was cosy and breezy with a view of gorgeous trees, the bed and bath linens were spotless and soft, the hot water plentiful, the water pressure strong, and a coffee pot in the room. I will definitely be back.

Property is definitely old and in need of an update. Looks like they were changing ownership and working on stuff. Can't wait to be there when the restaurant opens up. Room was nice. Staff was helpful. Parking easy. Location was in walking distance of nice restaurants and bars.

This is my go-to hotel when I'm in San Rafael. They are renovating the rooms and the common areas and bringing back the bar, which will be so cool. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, bathrooms are clean, wifi is strong, staff is great. There's a lovely bakery next door that I recommend as well.

This place is absolutely amazing, a gem in the heart of San Rafael. It's a funky, family run place with uniquely decorated rooms- if you're looking for cookie cutter chain hotels go elsewhere. Great price for this location, and they're trying to re-open the attached restaurant. The bed was new and comfortable, the room was spacious and clean. There was a balcony just off my room and the shared bathroom was great. There is a microwave and mini fridge in the common area. This will be my go-to spot when I'm in San Rafael, thanks for the great stay.

Staff is very welcoming. The room is decent and clean. I missed the part that it was a shared bathroom. Does not have a restaurant but close to 7 11 store. Overall I had a pleasant stay!
