I will be back.
Pros:

Nice light breakfast just right!

Cons:

The next door neighbors were very loud and woke me up at 3:30am the people were arguing and yelling. Other than that great.

Comfortable small hotel in San Rafael
Pros:

Very convenient and reasonably priced for San Rafael. Stayed for 4 days total and room was always really clean. It’s a good quality 2-star hotel with comfortable beds and friendly staff. Breakfast is adequate and includes fresh made waffles. There is no elevator so if that’s a problem, ask for a ground level room.
