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 75 room Hampton Inn Petaluma opened summer 2018 after conversion of the historic Petaluma Silk Mill (built 1892), which in recent times had been involved in production of parachutes and fishing line. The building sits along Lakeville Street near the city center, within sight of the Petauma River, and just down the street from the local SMART rail station. Free hot breakfast is served each morning, and a small selection of nearby restaurants provide other meals. Guest rooms are equipped with a coffee maker, work desk, refrigerator and (by request) a microwave. The hotel has a fitness center though no pool.

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.
