Hotels near Opera House Collective, Petaluma

A last-minute getaway as the friends we had planned to stay with came down with Covid and we had to make a decision about where to stay. We are Marriott Bonvoy members and rarely ever stay at Sheratons, but thought we'd give this a go. Sigh. Not quite up to Marriott standards I'm afraid.... We got a king suite with a balcony that was supposed to be a marina view, but looked out over the adjacent ”marsh” and freeway/railroad track. Here's the good: very comfortable bed, bathtub (most hotels are ripping these out and replacing with walk-in showers - I love a real tub), short drive to downtown Petaluma which is cute with upcoming restaurants, coffee houses and quirky shops, staff friendly; the location is easy access off 101 and good for a base to explore Sonoma County. The not-so-good: the hotel lobby is freezing cold so not a place we could hang out, the fire was never lit the whole weekend; it's so cold that the staff behind the check-in desk had their own space heaters on the counter blasting hot air at themselves to stay warm! The pool is tiny, the photos of this place make it look more like a resort, but it's really a hotel bolted on to the end of a mall/offices as part of the marina development. You can't walk into downtown - it's a hike along very busy roads with industrial office buildings. The new train line (yay - public transport!) is just across the river adjacent to the freeway and is noisy as you'd expect. We walked into the marsh and around the nature loop - it was OK...nothing special, really - didn't see much in the way of birdlife. I imagine it gets stinky in the summer! In general, the hotel could do with a solid refurb - it feels dated. I think we would have actually been better off at the Courtyard TBH.

I loved this hotel. The staff were always around cleaning something and they seemed genuinely pleasant. And while the whole place could use a fresh coat of paint, everything was clean and smelled clean. We were there for a wedding event and most of the party stayed at the Sheraton Hotel. We chose Quality Inn because I just couldn't stomach the idea of paying so much money that the Sheraton wanted. But because most of the party was there, we spent most of our time at the Sheraton. Here are some differences: S=$$$ Q=$$. S=Not clean (the cushions in the dining room and carpets were HORRIBLE Q=Very clean, S=Staff was okay but no smiles Q=Accommodating (one member even saw that I was having a hard time making a bow for my gift and she offered to do it for me-had the wire and everything as she used to work in a florist shop) and they were all smiling. S=No breakfast-not even free coffee on the tables and/or lobby Q=FREE (wonderful) continental breakfast.

Love this hotel great deal, nice rooms, and amazing bathroom shower and cool bluetooth mirror.

Our son had a reservation and became ill on the day he was supposed to travel. There was no way we thought the hotel would provide a refund, but ANNA was incredibly kind and went out of her way for us. As a result, we now plan to book a 3 day stay there ourselves. She has a great attitude and I look forward to staying here!

Very nice and clean hotel.. Easy check in. Good hot breakfast. Hotel room we staid in 2 quine with balcony, very roomy and super clean. It has pool, sauna and fitness room, outside firepit is very nice to sit around with cup of coffee or glass of wine. We enjoyed our family 3 day weekend state cation just get out the house.

My stay at the Glen Ellen Inn was invigorating and reviving and much needed after a very hard week at work. I won't go into the work details, but the Glen Ellen Inn was the perfect respite. The room was beautiful, well decorated and cozy (in a large warm, comfy, relaxing kind of way), and clean. You could tell such great love was put into the little details to give us a heart felt experience. Our room overlooked Sonoma Creek and a cute little stone bridge. We had a beautiful private garden that allowed us some time in nature and we were able to enjoy a glass of wine and reflect on our day out. We also had a beautiful in room spa that comforted us after our long cold morning of Zip Lining at Sonoma Zip lining Adventures (amazing experience ask for Brady and Kirsten they were awesome). The bed and pillows welcomed us and we slept so peacefully. The inn is perfectly situated in the town of Glen Ellen, a place I'd never heard of and honestly thought would not be the highlight of our visit given Sonoma is minutes away, but it was a place that dazzled us in so many ways and we ended up spending most of our time there. Home to Jack London, we visited a few amazing places including the Jack London Saloon and Lodge, the Michelin star restaurant called the Glen Ellen Star (It was literally next door to the Glen Ellen Inn), Garden Court Cafe, Sonoma Zip-lining Adventures (about 50 minutes away), Yeti Restaurant (Indian Food), Les Pascals Patisserie and Boulangerie, Tips Roadside for brunch (Kenwood), Walt wine tasting room (Sonoma Plaza, partner to Hall winery in St. Helena), Sonoma Mission, Harvey's Donut Bar (Sonoma Plaza), Prohibition Spirits Distillery (Sonoma Plaza), and Murthy's Irish Pub (Sonoma Plaza)....because you have to visit an Irish Pub wherever you go;). I honestly couldn't thank Karen and Chris more and I am looking forward to coming back and enjoying their cottages and Bar once it reopens. Karen and Chris, thank you so much for the stay and for the thoughtful touches and recommendations. Hope to see you again soon.
