Charming old house, converted to a hotel. Safe location. Easy walk to numerous restaurants and other businesses. Clean. Proprietor is pleasant and polite. Nice bedroom. Shared bathrooms. (Difficult to get a comfortable setting on the shower.) Good overall.

The property is super pretty! It's a bit older in its appearance and amenities but it kinda gives modern Victorian and I was for it! The heaters are not as strong as I would have loved for the weather and the locks aren't necessarily the most strong feeling on the room doors but I loved it regardless and will be going back! BE ADVISED THAT NOT ALL ROOMS HAVE ATTACHED BATHROOMS. BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND CALL THE PROPERTY IF NEEDED!

Funky Boutique hotel, I have stayed at before and will again. Not a modern hotel by any stretch, but clean and not too far from downtown food, drink & shopping. Room was clean - the Fridge turned out to be a freezer, but other than that no problems. Restaurant was closed, staff was nice but it is not a 24 hour staffed reception. I liked it and will be back for sure

It’s a place to stay
I will say that the bed was comfortable and the price was right. Once they finish with the restaurant construction the place will have a nice travelers lodge feel. The bathrooms are shared, so know that going in. Easy walk to downtown San Rafael and it was quiet at the property.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The lobby and restaurant were under construction. We stayed in the Venetian Room. It was smaller, darker and dated than it looked on their website photos. Needs some maintenance work or updating - chip paint, holes on the walls, some splashes of "something" on the walls, picture frames falling apart, our towels had holes, etc. Otherwise, good price, great location and walkable to downtown San Rafael.

We have fond memories of this wonderful place from 30 years ago. It is now being renovated by a charming, dedicated new owner. It is an easy walk to downtown shops, restaurants and the lovely Mission.

Cute place, but very basic.
Panama is a cute hotel and Anos, who checked us in was friendly. Our room was cute. The neighborhood is very quaint and it is walking distance to downtown. (.5 miles) However, during our visit, it was VERY basic. The hotel is under construction-- (big time!) and I was not informed of this on their website when I booked our stay. There was no coffee in the morning, no lobby, no place it sit downstairs. I would stay again in the future after the remodeling and construction.
