*****Lodging******
For those traveling to Novato for the class, we suggest several lodging possibilities. Petaluma is a better place to stay since there is more of a central downtown area that is very enjoyable to walk around compared to Novato. Petaluma is about a 20 minute drive to where the class is being held.
In downtown Petaluma, we recommend the Metro Hotel: www.hotels.com/ho225303/metro-hotel-and-cafe-petaluma-united-states/
Something budget-friendly and right off the freeway for easy access: www.hotels.com/ho273670/americas-best-value-inn-suites-petaluma-united-states/
If you want to spend a little more, this hotel is nice and is also the site of our annual cheese festival. It is very easily accessible from the 101 freeway: www.hotels.com/ho204590/sheraton-sonoma-county-petaluma-petaluma-united-states/
In Novato, here is a hotel that is cheap but clean and right off the freeway, about 10 min from the class venue: www.hotels.com/ho115560/americas-best-value-inn-novato-united-states/
