My first experience with kiosk check in. Very odd in that there was someone at the desk not helping anyone. when almost done that person did check in another guest ??? I'm sure my opinion isn't going to change anything but to have to use a kiosk at a hotel ( the HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY) just seems odd and very impersonal.

The remote check-in was awful. No one at the desk of the hotel. The chain seems to be consolidating all of their check-in to online with someone who is heaven-knows-where, not likely US. It takes much longer than a conventional check-in and there is no person at the desk to talk to.

This is an older hotel, no bells, no whistles but the room was nice, clean, with a super comfortable bed. There was plenty of free parking. The Zoom-style check-in was a little weird but surprisingly efficient. I would not hesitate stay here again, if in the area.

Noisy

Check in was interesting. There is a machine with a screen in the lobby and you check in with someone virtually, like Zoom. Checkout was the same. I found it pretty off putting. The room was super uncomfortable. We stayed in the larger room with two king beds and a sofa. Everything was extremely noisy. The floor, doors, couch, bed, chairs, everything squeaked and creaked. Additionally, all the furniture was way too soft. I would have preferred sleeping on a marshmallow. All the staff were friendly and helpful, but the room was awful.

Family vacation and a Ball game.

Came to Petaluma to visit family. The property was well kept and clean. Parking was a little tight, but it was free. Close to grocery shopping and restaurants. Close to downtown Petaluma and a 40 min. drive to San Francisco. Definitely would stay here again.
