Petaluma is a very nice smaller city, with plenty to do & see: there's a river through downtown, with lotsa brewpubs and restaurants nearby. Plus an old downtown section just a few blocks from the main street with beautiful old restored victorians and post- Gold Rush mansions. Lovely walking town on the West Side (east side of Highway 101 is kind of sprawl;y new developments, not nearly as nice). Pretty dog-friendly town, lotsa businesses put out water bowls. Tall Toad Music is a really cool shop, if you're into guitars, they have many dozens hanging from the the ceiling. Copperfield's Bookstore has a nice vibe, it's big, a community gathering place for talks & meetings. You can walk the whole place in an hour of so. Plenty places have outdoor dining, esp. the Tap Room and Brewster's brewery, so you can bring the dog. Locals love Lombardi's Deli & BBQ a couple miles north of town (excellent huge $10 sandwiches!! Don't miss!) Half hour to Pt. Reyes National Seashore to the west; half hour to Bodga Bay to the northwest;, about a half hour to Sonoma Square & serious wine country due east. Not only is Petaluma cool itself, it's pretty close to a lot of interesting places. Makes a good base to explore.

Nice town: bedroom community with lots of history as shipping port on the rivers to SF before the Golden Gate Bridge. Close access to pastoral areas, Fun to Walk About. People were friendly Neighborhoods with great Architecture. Pleasant Parks. Close enough to the Beaches, City, and other towns.

Petaluma is located in a lovely valley with gorgeous country around to enjoy. Good trails, access to nearby Bodega Bay. Lots of great restaurants and shops in Old Town Petaluma. I went for an annual family Halloween Party, so it was a quick stay. Perfect!

Large, funky room. Quiet top floor. Modern space with sliding barn door to close off washroom if someone still sleeping. Very good hot breakfast. Staff pleasant and helpful. Recommended The Ugly Goat Bistro downtown. Delicious. Attractive downtown minutes away y car. Great shops and restaurants. Pool not heated is my only "could improve" statement. Will stay again. Thank you for a fun stay.

If you are there, try seafood! If you drive 40 minutes to Bodega bay, you must try clam chowder at Spud Point Crab Company and go to the next restaurant, Fisherman’s Cove and try clam chowder, oysters and halibut taco!

Really liked everything. People are friendly, and there were so many great places to eat like The Wild Goat Bistro, Volpe's Angela's Ice Cream try their lavender ice cream, so many restaurants, just walking around and checking out downtown and the beautiful neighborhoods and parks. Small town vibe with a lot of things to do.
