What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 242 guest reviews
Metro Hotel and Café earns consistently high praise for its immersive French-Parisian décor, spotless rooms, warm staff, and convenient walkable location in Petaluma — with most guests citing the unique atmosphere as the clear highlight. The main practical drawback is the absence of an elevator, making steep spiral stairs a real consideration for guests with mobility concerns or heavy luggage. Room sizes can be compact, but comfort, character, and a well-regarded café breakfast leave the overwhelming majority eager to return.
