Santa Rosa Hotels

An outdoor heated pool, gardens, fitness center and whirlpool are the main leisure amenities of Santa Rosa's Best Western Wine Country hotel, located on the north side of town alongside US 101 (close to the Mendocino Avenue exit), and at the edge of the famous Sonoma County vineyards - 30 major wineries are found within a 10 mile drive. Free breakfast is served and for other meals there are several restaurants in the neighborhood, closest being Hunter Steakhouse just next door. The inn has 86 nicely decorated rooms on 2 floors, with exterior corridors; all contain a refrigerator and microwave.

Best Western Garden Inn is a few blocks south of the center of Santa Rosa and the US 101 - CA 12 intersection, in a busy commercial district with many restaurants and several large stores. This is a small but clean and comfortable hotel, with some of the 78 rooms overlooking a tree-lined, landscaped garden and outdoor pool - a quiet, peaceful place, despite the proximity of the main road (Santa Rosa Avenue). Breakfast is available at the on-site Garden Cafe, open until 11 am.

Santa Rosa's Marriott hotel has a central location alongside US 101 just north of the junction with Highway 12, and 2 blocks from the main shopping center in town, the Santa Rosa Plaza. The Courtyard is a modern, 5 floor, 138 room/suite building surrounded by plenty of parking space, with a restaurant on site (open for breakfast only), and many more close by; most are a little way north around Wilson St (Railroad Square). For relaxation, guests can choose from an outdoor pool, whirlpool and fitness center.

Two miles north of downtown Santa Rosa, the Comfort Inn is a 3 floor hotel offering clean rooms in a business district alongside US 101, the Redwood Highway (Steele Lane exit) - nearby are several other motels, a good selection of restaurants and shops including the Coddingtown Mall just 0.3 miles south. Half the rooms look out over the hotel's outdoor pool and gardens, away from the main road at the rear of the property. Free continental breakfast is provided.

The Quality Inn & Suites is a south Santa Rosa hotel, newly opened, and located at 3000 Santa Rosa Ave, one block east of highway 101 in a partly residential district but close to the edge of the Sonoma Mountains. The 68 rooms are on 2 floors, with interior corridors; some have a microwave & refrigerator. Amenities include free continental breakfast, a small exercise room, and high speed internet access, though no swimming pool.
