Pros

Multiple outdoor social spaces including fire pit and patio dining

Executive chef-led restaurant focusing on local California ingredients

Central location between San Francisco and Napa Valley wine country

Cons

“Four Points By Sheraton San Rafael Marin County strikes me as a practical choice for business trips, particularly given its location between San Francisco and Napa Valley. The hotel's on-site Hillside Tavern, with bartender Jose, seems a real asset. I also appreciate that it is pet-friendly.”
