Petaluma Hotels

Hotel Petaluma is one of the relatively few hotels in the city center, located along busy Washington Street just two blocks from the Petaluma River, within walking distance of numerous restaurants, bars, shops and other attractions, including Phoenix Theatre and a 14 screen cinema. The guest rooms are divided between two linked, three and four floor buildings, and have views over the partly residential neighborhood. The pet friendly hotel has an onsite restaurant/bar, plus meeting space and a business center. Wi-fi is complimentary.

The Best Western hotel in Petaluma, CA, lies one block away from Highway 101, 1.5 miles from the town center, in a largely residential area though next to several large stores including Safeway, together with a good selection of fast food restaurants. Petaluma is centrally located between the redwood forests, Point Reyes National Seashore and the Sonoma County wineries, and the Best Western is a relatively inexpensive place to stay when visiting this varied area. The inn has a motel-style design with 73 rooms on 2 floors, plus amenities of free continental breakfast, heated outdoor pool, sun deck and guest laundry.

On the north edge of town near the start of open, hilly countryside, Quality Inn Petaluma occupies a spacious site with several detached blocks arranged around the parking area, lined by mature trees and with an outdoor pool at one end.

Petaluma Village Premium Outlets Mall is 2 miles south with the town center 2 miles further. There are 110 rooms in total, all well maintained and equipped with a refrigerator; some contain a microwave and whirlpool bath. The other main amenities are free continental breakfast, a gift shop, exercise room and hot tub.

Motel 6 Petaluma has the familiar two floor, exterior corridor layout, its rooms overlooking the central parking area and outdoor pool. Rates are low and the location easily reached, just off US 101 along McDowell Boulevard, a street lined by various restaurants and other businesses including Lagunitas Brewing Company, which offers free tours each day. The motel provides free coffee, free local calls, and a coin-operated laundry.
