    Cute sitting area

    Checked in on a Friday around 5:00pm. This hotel is a little difficult to navigate as the parking lot entrance is on the side with parking behind the building. There is street parking in front if available. The front door was locked so we needed to call the phone number for the door code to enter in order to check in. The host (Cody?) was super friendly and checked us in quickly and even escorted us to our room. The door lock was a little tricky. The handle locked the door for the outside and the dead bolt locked the door for the inside. The room is very spacious. The bed was comfortable and we had a nice night sleep. The bathroom has a clawfoot tub with a shower enclosure. The tv internet kept blipping on and off. It was also kinda strange that there were charges for the coffee pod, tea bags. Charges for the beer and other alcohol is understandable but I'm concerned that I may be charged for things I did not use. : / Felt that I needed to take pictures to have proof that I didn't use something. This was an enjoyable stay in a quirky nicely decorated hotel. Four stars for the extra charges and the issue with the door lock.

    I am still speechless over this hidden gem I found in Petaluma. Not Napa, not SF,but yes in Petaluma! From the affordability, to the unique creativity of the Parisian them. This place is special. I was torn between selecting a room in the hotel or one of 3 Airstream units. I am glad that I selected a room . We were given a large two bedroom suite upstairs at the top of the staircase. Although we don't have small children that particular room would be perfect for a family wirh 2 children. The room was clean, the large bed comfortable and a huge 65+ TV with Prime was on the wall. We didn't partake in the $10 per person breakfast but it looked nice . The location is easily walkable to many nice restaurants and bars in the downtown area. Complimentary on street parking or in a nearby lot was available. . The service upon check-in was friendly and the hostess showed us around, walked us to our room and explained the amenities of the room and property. This hotel has an extensive French artwork, collection as well as maintaining the charm and character in every space that you see. I didn't take pictures of the decor as its something you have to experience in person. I highly recommend this stylish and quirky French styled hotel in downtown Petaluma California.

    I had a very disappointing experience dealing with the owner of Metro Hotel & Cafe. They advertised a Miele steam iron on Facebook Marketplace and made it sound like it was in good working condition, mentioning only minor cosmetic issues. No major problems were disclosed. I drove over an hour to see the machine in person. When I arrived, I noticed it was missing a wheel, covered with tape, and hard to power on. I asked if we could remove the tape to check inside, but the owner told me to take it home and promised that everything worked. I trusted their word and didn't expect a business owner to misrepresent the condition. During payment, the owner's wife became upset because she felt the item was being sold too cheaply. Once I got home and removed the tape, the machine literally fell apart. It was obvious this was not just a cosmetic issue. I immediately contacted them and said I needed to return it. They resisted accepting the return. When I brought it back, their own staff told me the machine was not working. The owner quickly took it away and stated they would only refund 50%, saying that because I had agreed to buy it, this was their policy. They also asked me to step outside to discuss the matter so the employees wouldn't hear. I paid using their hotel Zelle account and received only a 50% refund through the same account, so I have records of the transaction. In the end, I lost half of my money, over four hours of driving, FastTrak fees, and gained a very costly lesson. I never wanted to leave a review like this, but I feel it's important to share my experience so others can be more careful. Please don't learn the hard way like I did. Thank you for reading. And this is the photo they posted on Facebook Marketplace. I believe they have changed the listing to trap other people now. I hope no one else falls into this situation like I did.

    This hotel was so so adorable and had so much character. Truly an amazing stay. The outdoor patio is so nice and there is a fire pit as well. Crepes and coffee in the morning, and the cutest decor. Very friendly staff and cute rooms. Highly recommend!!!

    Check in on 4/2/24. Room 200 on 2nd floor. View of street. 2 rooms- cal king and twin pull out bed. Very cute hotel with lots of Parisian charm. Greeted and got an upgrade by a friendly concierge who also gave us a quick tour of our room. Bedding was wonderful from sheets to duvet- Serena and Lilly. Claw foot old school tub. Bathroom sink could use more counter space. An actual key to room door and not a card. For 5$ person, you get complementary crepes, Joshua tree dark roast coffee, and pastries for breakfast from 8-10am. Beware of very narrow staircase, wood floors are squeaky hence so many rugs so walk with caution. Came here for a quick spontaneous birthday to celebrate by 46th with my love. Thank for a wonderful memory.

    Romantic, cute, friendly, and fun, boutique hotel. Lots of character. Large claw tub with skylight in the bathroom was a romantic plus. Place has a breakfast bar you can make your own crape and drip coffee. Friday and Saturday nights, they give comp wine.

    I found this little, Parisian, Petaluma gem on accident. It stands out in the street with a red front and welcoming entrance. It's like staying in a hotel museum, with artifacts from France, French radio playing inside, posters of France, red accents in curtains and furniture. It's a blast! It looks to be in a old Victorian boarding house. The hotel has been here for 20 years. They serve breakfast with crepes and pastries, guests have access to ice, hot water and microwave in the kitchen 24/7, and there's a gas fire pit outside in a sweet garden setting. Oh, and don't forget there are also bicycles to rent. Fun!

    What a cute and whimsical place to lay my head at night.....well actually a couple months ago but hey who's counting. Whilst planning a trip to Point Reyes I stumbled upon this hotel and read the online reviews stating that this place was a "must stay," so I booked a room and headed out. As I arrived I was immediately excited to see the detail put into transforming this into a French setting. All the trinkets were adorable. The rooms were cozy and the staff was friendly. I absolutely loved the old style deep tub that I ended up soaking in. The breakfast was simple yet satisfying. The kitchen staff was helpful and kind as well. The ladies know how to make some good coffee. I am thinking of booking again very soon because this place is unforgettable.

    My husband and I had a wonderful stay recently at the Metro Hotel. It is such a cute, quaint, quirky French-themed boutique hotel. It is a few blocks off of the downtown area of Petaluma. I do wish it was in a bit closer easy walking distance, but the hotel's charm makes up for that. There are so many nice, thoughtful decor touches. Bonus- the tv was huge in our room, and I liked the smell fresh and clean smell. Our bed was nice, and the room was warm and cozy. We had skylights in the room, as well. The $5 all you can eat crepes breakfast in the morning is such a steal and was the perfect cherry on top of a superb stay. Pour-over coffee, delicious hard-boiled eggs, fresh strawberries and bananas and warm, lovely crepes. Yummm!!!!

    Another great get away in Petaluma at Metro Hotel Our previous trip to the Metro Hotel we got engaged. Recently we went through a traumatic experience and needed to get away and 'reset'. Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised to know Art had upgraded us to a suite and gave us a bottle of wine! It was so cool. There was plenty of room to spread out and had a nice view out front. When checking in we were cheerfully greeted and any questions or suggestions were promptly handled by 'Colby/Coby' (sorry couldn't remember exactly, but he was awesome throughout our stay.) The breakfast ladies were great, they even had coffee ready earlier in the morning for us. Petaluma was fun to explore and we had some great meals! We will be back.

The lobby itself exudes incredible charm and architectural character. It's difficult to focus on any singular detail of this historic building. That charm abruptly ends when you make it to the individual rooms. The overall bedroom space was small and didn't offer much in terms of sitting space. The bathroom was so tiny you had to stand in the shower if you wanted to close the bathroom door. It genuinely feels like the rooms were an after thought to all the great details of the first floor. If a return trip to wine country is in my future, I may look for a better place to stay.

My room had a very loud air conditioner that made it impossible to sleep with it on. I had to turn it off, but then the room became stuffy and uncomfortable, so there was really no winning. The window in my room faced the parking lot and appeared to open onto a balcony, but it turned out to be a fake balcony. The faux balcony area was made of old, dirty wood and looked neglected and worn, which only added to the overall run-down feel of the room.

The property feels worn and not well maintained, especially in the common areas. The ice and vending area was in rough shape and there wasn't a working ice machine, or the advertised vending machine. The pool was closed during my stay with no prior notice. I understand maintenance is sometimes needed, but better communication would have helped. Front desk staff members were uncertain when it would open? Service was mixed. The front desk felt curt and unwelcoming, while the maintenance staff I encountered were kind. I usually like Sheraton properties, but this one felt run down and didn't meet expectations. I wouldn't stay here again.

Cons: - The hair dryer was missing from the bag labeled "hair dryer," and no one answered the phone at the front desk. We walked to the front desk to ask for a hair dryer and received a replacement. But once we got back to the room, that replacement didn't work and had to go back again for another hair dryer (which finally worked, yay~). - Shower water temperature didn't get very hot. Even at max temp, it was just barely hot. And I don't really take hot showers if it's not winter! The water pressure was okay, not weak but wouldn't call it strong either. - Room temperature was inconsistent. The thermostat wasn't accurate. I now travel with a portable thermometer (I'm a picky sleeper!), and the adjusting the thermostat would result in overshooting in either direction. It affected my sleep but I could also tell during waking hours. - House keeping didn't come clean one day. We came back in the evening so decided it was too late to call them to turnover the room. - Beds are too soft for firm mattress lovers. MT got some back pain by the end of our 4 night stay. - Toiletries downgraded from the last stay. Now they have Marriott-branded toiletries (not a big deal for me except for the lotion, since it didn't do much to hydrate my skin + tiny bottle). - The restroom door didn't slam shut this time, yay! Pros/improvements: - Still happy they have a relatively sizeable gym, which now has wipes! But there weren't any floor mats to use for floor exercises / stretching. - Big free parking lot. Never had issues finding a spot. There were also EV chargers available. - There were full sized shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles in the shower instead of tiny disposable ones-- hooray! Would be great if there was a full sized lotion bottle as well. Service was nice when we spoke to the front desk in person on checking in and for a hair dryer. There were too many slip ups to call this a smooth stay. We stayed here since we try to stick with the Marriott line of hotels, but I may try out another hotel next time.
