The place is a little old funky but I very much like it that way. The rooms are large and clean. Breakfast is plentiful and quite adequate. The staff is very nice and accommodating too. When the weather is nice, it is fun to sit by the pool and meet people. Location is quite convenient to both downtown Santa Rosa and points north such as Windsor.

The Sandman Hotel is a good bargain. The room was spacious and clean. It is easy to tell this hotel had recently had some renovations. It is pretty conviently located off of Hwy 101. The breakfast was the usual hotel breakfast, not great but it saves you $50 instead of going out for breakfast. My only complaint is there was only one tiny table about 2 feet high and only one chair. An extra chair and a real table would have been nice. Overall though, the Sandman is a good value and pretty comfortable. I would stay there again.

The front desk was nice. The improvements could be that cleaning staff could have cleaned everything in our room. They made the bed and gave us towels but the dishes werent washed and it seemed like the job was rushed.

Great stay overall! The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. They kindly accommodated my request to use the meeting room early for a Zoom call, which I really appreciated. All appliances and the air conditioning worked well. The bathroom was spotless, though the water pressure could be stronger. The Wi-Fi was a bit slow but still manageable. Overall, a pleasant experience and I would stay here again.
