The Burlington Hotel

If you are not adventurous this hotel may not be to your liking. This wild and wonderful 1883 hotel may have seen better times, but you won't find a better place to spend an out of main stream stay. One thing i did not run into was any ghosts ha ha ha. My wife and I had a very wonderful time and we found Hillary a complete delight. Looking forward to our next stay.

The Burlington Hotel is unlike any other place I’ve stayed. It is unique, comfortable, and has genuine old-timey charm. The hotel is such a special place in no small part due to Hillary who truly went above and beyond to make our night memorable :). Thank you for your hospitality and warmth. The cornbread in the morning is the best I’ve ever had and we continue to enjoy the local honey at home!

Been wanting to stay here since forever, finally made it and it was worth the wait! The staff was ran by a single lady who does it ALL and is as charming as can be, so an extra big THANK YOU to her! We stayed on the 3rd floor in Victoria's room which had a private bathroom. Everything was super clean and comfortable, felt more like a home then hotel. It's seems like such a huge place, with so much detail to see I mostly took video but have included a few pictures. We went across the street to the warehouse to look around, which has a grizzly and enormous polar bear, and a drink but had dinner in the restaurant next door to the hotel. We stayed on a Thursday which happens to have tiki Thursday at the restaurant so the drink menu changes up. All the decorations on the bar were created by one of the staff members who happened to be our bartender/server, very talented! Heads up- unless you make reservations ahead of time for a table then it's the bar for you. It is full service but can turn into elbow bumping once it starts to get busy. Now back to the hotel, the room provides drinking glasses but no bottled water. We had the water view which was pretty at night and the passing trains aren't a bother. The only annoying part was a loud group of people, who had to of came from the warehouse probably after closing but not staying at the hotel, who decided to continue their hang out until about midnight. Now I'm not sure if that happens often especially for a Thursday night but if so I'd dread staying on a weekend!? For breakfast freshly created and baked scones were made and great coffee! I also bought a jar of the best wild honey I've ever tasted from the hotels cafe. Seeing as how the hotel owner has his very own bee's it's prepared right there so you should remember to purchase some before you go. I recommend staying at least 2-3days to give yourself enough time to go exploring, hiking, sight seeing, possibly fishing, relaxing and just taking in everything the hotel and Port Costa has to offer. Can't wait to go back!

This poor excuse for a hotel was shown to me by bibiana princeton. And let me tell you save your money a motel six has more privacy and better beds. Lace curtains no clocks. Shared bathrooms and all for 400$ a night. What a steal. And that was the local discount. Would hate to see what the price is for a non local. The breakfast was lackluster and the service was non existent. They treated being open as an inconvenience. It’s not our fault your town is a cesspit and should be condemned.

This hotel was poorly put together. As me and my family arrived, there was not a person at the counter. We had to wait awhile before we got any help. Then, we checked into our rooms to find hair left on the sheets and burn marks all in the bathroom. Our rooms smelt unacceptable, the stench was very distinct. Also, might I add that nothing was vacuumed or wiped down and these problems were in all 3 of our rooms. Our towels were stained and we had no pillows. If there was a rating in the negatives I would give it. This motel must be shut down immediately

I love the Burlington. The staff were very accommodating and easygoing about our many special requests. The hotel itself is just such a gem--there really isn't another place like it. Port Costa has long been one of my favorite Bay Area well-known-lil- secrets. In the age of homogenized commodities, it is refreshing that even while refurbishing the place, the owners have kept the long-wrought antique character of the hotel.

Charmingly rustic, which was expected. But also not very comfortable. Bed was creaky and small. Ceiling stained with water damage and mildew. This was fine for one short night... We stayed there as part of a post-wedding party that had rented out the whole place. It was great fun to stay up late and whoop it up in a place like that without concern for bothering any nonparticipating guests. Around midnight I played a few dirges on the old pump organ located on the third floor, which is actually in decent working order! At $160 per night, though, for something that would be a dump if not for the nostalgic decor, it's—well, it's on par, I suppose, with the rest of the housing available in the bay area.

We stayed here for our first visit to the San Francisco area and it was incredible - like stepping back in time. The decor and the entire feel of the hotel is ideal for those who love history or anyone longing for a simpler time. We wanted to see a bit of the city and a bit of the surrounding area and the location was perfect for both. The cafe downstairs has delicious offerings on weekend mornings and there is an irresistible communal feel to the whole affair. The pièce de résistance of it all is The Bull Valley Roadhouse located next door. Unparalleled food, unparalleled atmosphere, unparalleled experience. I crave their grilled Caesar salad, pork belly, and mussels to this day - definitely call for reservations because it's very popular. Perfect for a weekend trip out of the city or a NorCal getaway.
