the view from our room window. hello, redwood, oh how we missed you so!!
one of the nooks in the cafe. nick & i drank coffee, read the paper & made plans in this cozy area.
i noticed this vintage cash register behind the counter top.
these beautiful vintage bikes made me want to take a ride. what? they're one-speed bikes.
there was the option to stay in one of these airstreams. 6411's licence plate reads: where dreams come true. too much!!
we stumbled upon the Metro Hotel in petaluma. after speaking to the very friendly, german exchange student/inn keeper & taking a short tour, we were sold. the hotel is located in a building that was erected in 1870. major renovations occurred in 2004, but the charm of the old building is still very much present. the inn is filled with vintage european (mostly french) ephemera: metal orangina signs, milk & wine bottles, maps, chairs, postcards, etc. it's situated several blocks away from the main downtown area (it was so peaceful & quiet), but still close enough to walk to restaurants, bars, a fab grocery store & park. we loved it! we felt so lucky to be staying in such a perfect little gem of an inn.
