Hotels near Pacheco Plaza Shopping Center, Novato

The room, though compact, was well-appointed. However, the ambiance leaned towards the dim side, which might not be everyone's preference. It would be great if they considered enhancing the lighting to brighten up the space a bit more. Overall, a decent stay, but there's room for improvement.

Quiet, good view, spacious

A last-minute getaway as the friends we had planned to stay with came down with Covid and we had to make a decision about where to stay. We are Marriott Bonvoy members and rarely ever stay at Sheratons, but thought we'd give this a go. Sigh. Not quite up to Marriott standards I'm afraid.... We got a king suite with a balcony that was supposed to be a marina view, but looked out over the adjacent ”marsh” and freeway/railroad track. Here's the good: very comfortable bed, bathtub (most hotels are ripping these out and replacing with walk-in showers - I love a real tub), short drive to downtown Petaluma which is cute with upcoming restaurants, coffee houses and quirky shops, staff friendly; the location is easy access off 101 and good for a base to explore Sonoma County. The not-so-good: the hotel lobby is freezing cold so not a place we could hang out, the fire was never lit the whole weekend; it's so cold that the staff behind the check-in desk had their own space heaters on the counter blasting hot air at themselves to stay warm! The pool is tiny, the photos of this place make it look more like a resort, but it's really a hotel bolted on to the end of a mall/offices as part of the marina development. You can't walk into downtown - it's a hike along very busy roads with industrial office buildings. The new train line (yay - public transport!) is just across the river adjacent to the freeway and is noisy as you'd expect. We walked into the marsh and around the nature loop - it was OK...nothing special, really - didn't see much in the way of birdlife. I imagine it gets stinky in the summer! In general, the hotel could do with a solid refurb - it feels dated. I think we would have actually been better off at the Courtyard TBH.

The breakfast is simple but the quality is very high. The room is small but very clean. There is an iron hanger brand shower gel shampoo body lotion. The environment is very style and special. The fireplace in the hall is very lively and has a strong price and is invincible.

Very nice hotel, quiet, large room with coffee machine and microwave, Starbucks coffee and black tea delivered daily, there is a fountain park next to all birds, and the lobby is being renovated when checked in, and it's beautifully packed. Breakfast was average and not enough to eat. After eating breakfast every day, I took two loaves of bread and went out to feed the seagulls. A lot of birds were waiting. After going out for a 2 minute drive and crossing the bridge, Macy's Department Store has a lot of food. Safeway supermarket is next to it. Things are cheap and fruits are cheap. Find white cashiers can borrow membership cards. It is much cheaper. Black cashiers generally ignore you. There is a parking lot at any time. The gas station at the intersection of the Sheraton Hotel opposite is the cheapest in San Francisco. It is highly recommended.
