Weekend Birthday Getaway

Good Location, price. Room with a single queen bed is small, could hear neighbors television next door. Nice sized Refer with microwave in room. Toilet broke on last day. Small restaurant on site with good prices & Great food! Close to downtown & night life. Would stay here again. Ask for the single story garden area! Great Staff!

Good Value in Santa Rosa

We stayed here for a family wedding - room was spacious, and staff were great. Location provides easy access on and off 101. Groceries and other necessaries only a block or two away.

Great surprise!

We didn't know anything about this hotel, but needed somewhere near the wineries in Santa Rosa as we were attending a friend's wedding there. The whole family went and we were so pleased with both the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the rooms. Everything was in clean shape and seemed relatively new. Overall great experience and would certainly stay there again.

Time-saving tip: Not Applicable

The hotel is very near to the 101 freeway and the surrounding roads are one-way... so bring a map and familiarize yourself to save any frustration in getting to and from the hotel to other locations.

Good location close to the fairgrounds

The hand held shower head sprayed all over the place if removed from the holder. The bathroom had a vent fan that only worked with the heater and it was warm outside so we couldn't vent the shower steam without heat. This was uncomfortable since the heat was not needed.

2nd time is still a charm

We enjoyed our first stay at the Santa Rosa Best Western several years ago. It gave us exactly what we were looking for in a hotel/motel stay, comfort, convenience, at an affordable price. That is why we chose it again. It was just as nice. It is also located close to a zip-line attraction and Sonoma and Napa county wineries.
