This hotel doesn't really live up to the Sheraton brand and seems to have faded into a moderate 2 star hotel, certainly not a 3 star hotel. The dirty furniture made me unwilling to sit in the room chair, which made me worried about the condition of the mattresses. Ancient and loud room heaters. Inability to comfortably move around in a bathroom with the door open (the open bathroom door fully blocks the shower and bathtub). If I had not gotten a lower rate on Priceline, I would have left and refused to stay at the published rack rates for this lower quality Sheraton location.
Positives: Free Wi-Fi and a heated pool.
Negatives: Appalling, dirty, stained chair in room made me worried about the condition of the mattresses.

Great location. Easy access to shopping center, restaurants, mall and supermarkets. Excellent choice for business visits to Marin County and East-Bay cities of San Francisco area.
Positives: Very friendly staff. Free parking, free drinking water in the room and free access to internet are great.
Negatives: The walls are thin and the sounds next room came through easily, which could be annoying. The bathroom space is rather tight.

Nice hotel, super-clean and upscale. Friendly front-desk staff made us feel valued and welcome. They even left a voice mail in the room on our last evening to say thanks for staying. I like this hotel, have stayed here numerous times and would quickly recommend this to a friend. My family live nearby, and the lobby is a great place to wait for them to pick me up.
Positives: Super friendly and welcoming staff. They put us in a nice room overlooking the pool, even tho we had the great Priceline 1/2 price rate!
Negatives: A bit more water pressure in the shower would be nice.

It is an okay hotel for short trips. The swimming pool looked good. There was ample free parking. However, the room was a bit noisy from the highway nearby. Free wi-fi was very appreciated.
Positives: an outdoor swimming pool and free parking and free wifi.
Negatives: The room was noisy from the highway nearby, the bathroom was small.

The hotel is pleasant. While I did not use the pool, it is in the courtyard of the hotel and looked inviting. There is a restaurant near the main lobby. The staff was helpful and knew what they were doing.
Positives: A fine experience with a friendly staff.
Negatives: Really just fine. Comfortable, quiet, and where I needed to be.

It was a very nice stay, I've stayed about 10 times here, but they recently cut out breakfast and if you ask for a fridge or microwave it'll cost you $10 each per day. Most 3 star hotels offer such amenities as standard.
Positives: The location and ease of check in.
Negatives: $10 extra per day for microwave and fridge each. No continental breakfast for online travel site reservations.

Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel because it was very clean, the staff was wonderful, the beds and pillows were very comfortable, and given its convenient proximity to San Francisco and Sonoma, it was a great location too. The free breakfast is a joke. They had coffee, apples and bananas. That's it. Another good thing about this hotel is the elevators were always really fast.
Positives: Very friendly and helpful staff, very clean rooms and convenient location.
Negatives: No microwaves or fridges, pool was not heated.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 01 Feb 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

The hotel in general was fine. We did request a roll-a-way bed, which was never provided. Also, the room was very warm and stuffy. We turned on the AC unit, but the room never really cooled down. We ended up opening the window, but that didn't help much and the traffic noise from the nearby freeway was fairly loud.
Positives: Location.
Negatives: Room was very warm -- AC did not work well.

Close to wine country. Pleasant drive to get there. Nice hotel. Free wireless. Nice staff. Rooms are a nice size and just redone. Their breakfast buffet is very good but a bit pricey if you aren't looking for a huge breakfast. There is only one price $15 plus if the breakfast is not complimentary. A lot if you just want a yogurt and some fruit from the buffet.
Positives: Clean, pleasant.
Negatives: My daughter paid less & got great free breakfast. We did not.

I remember this hotel as a Holiday Inn during the seventies. It has changed hands several times, not always for the better, they seem to have gotten their act together recently. We come down every year for a giants game and have stayed here the last five years or so.
Positives: Center of Marin County.
Negatives: More exterior nigh time security is needed.
