Hotel's Favourite
Great Best Western, excellent service, and our room was A+ as we were even offered a balcony! Breakfast was delicious, with a lady attendant making waffles and pancakes. This was a great find and the price was unbeatable. Teh staff was particularly helpful and gracious.

I have never stayed at a hotel that had so many smiling employees! The girl who checked us in…the girl who checked us out were so very nice. Room was good and bed was good. The girl in the Breakfast Room would make you think you were staying at a $500/night hotel! She not only made the food, but everything was 100% stocked the entire time, she refilled drinks, helped with preparing food and cleaned your table!!!! Have NEVER had that at another hotel! The manager surely must be doing something right!

The Best Western Petaluma Inn is our favorite place to stay in Petaluma because of its location and price value. The staff have always been friendly and helpful when we needed something extra or had a minor issue. The adjacent restaurant in very good and we have enjoyed meals there with family.
We always request the same room so we cannot comment on upstairs rooms or those with king beds.

The Best Western Petaluma gives the traveler an excellent place to stay at a reasonable rate. The amenities are first-class, albeit without frills. The staff is very helpful and omnipresent, and the rooms are cleaned perfectly every day.

This hotel is configured like an older motel with two 2-story buildings, not one enclosed building. Friendly front desk check-in. The room is quite large with a refrigerator and small microwave and has comfortable beds. The bath doesn’t have a tub, just an enclosed shower. There is daily maid service. The free breakfast was a disappointment - no hot food, no yogurt. There are 2 waffle machines, cereal, toast, pastry, coffee, tea, some apples and bananas. A big downside was that the wifi was so weak in the room that it didn’t function. The hotel is located close to shopping.

I grew up in this town, so this place is historical to my youth so I am drawn to it when I return home but I believe its a bit overpriced based on other BW in the Western States. but with the homeless problems in California, this is a SAFE PLACE to stay. Morning breakfast is limited choices but the staff is there to accommodated and help making it quite pleasant start to the morning. Office staff has been there for a few years so they know what they are doing and make checkin and out quick

This BW is one of the nicest I stay at, right up there with IHG and Bonvoy properties. Except, their people are so friendly and welcoming. Very staff member goes out of their way to make sure your happy and any requests are honored. And, all day long there is someone cleaning, sweeping, making sure the greenery is manicured. The facility is so well-kept up.
The breakfast is good. Lots of topping choices for oatmeal and waffles. There is fresh fruit, but no bp.
The rooms have a 3’ fridge, microwave, and coffeemaker. The showers are a bit small, 30” square. I do not know if any rooms have tubs. They have a USA Today, too.

Extremely clean, well-appointed room. Bed was comfortable. Perhaps a down-filled pillow would have been a nice addition, though the multiple available foam pillows were overall quite satisfactory. Parking was easily accessible as was the next-door restaurant which was of excellent quality.

I've stayed at BW Petaluma a half dozen times over the last few years, this one didn't measure up to the others. The employees are very friendly, especially the cheerful young lady in the breakfast area during the week. But we had no hot water one morning for our shower, the TV buffered often, and our room key wouldn't open the pool gates to allow us entry, even the front desk attendant couldn't unlock the pool gate with her key. Also,
the hall leading to the rooms above the reception area (the king rooms) had very dirty, spoiled, worn carpeting that needs to be replaced 2 years ago. Usually really like this hotel, but it wasn't that great this time.

6 am to 9:30 am! I mentioned this in the review above!
No bar. This is a Best Western for goodness sakes! But. . . there is an excellent bar right next door and they are great.
I would say it just depends how booked they were the night before.
They sold out at the last moment the night before I checked in so there were no rooms available for early check in.
That was okay with me since I just dropped my car off and traveled to the coast with others. They did ask me if I wanted a lower or an upper room. Upper rooms are less noisy.
