"Their complimentary breakfast was amazing! The hotel itself is in good condition. The staff is nice and friendly. I love that they are pet friendly as well. The rooms are a bit dated and are still carpeted. We were provided a pet friendly room with ripped and damaged furniture/couch. Wonder if other pet friendly rooms had the same issue. They should install pet friendly furniture/not easily damaged in the rooms and floor be hardwood surfaced instead of carpet. Seemed like the carpet had been urinated on by other pets who have stayed in the room."
The Sandman Santa Rosa Sonoma, an Ascend Collection Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"The breakfast is great, but try to arrive early (more than an hour before it closes) because it gets crowded and there's limited seating.
The pool and hot tub are excellent.
Our room was nice.
The gym was good too. Nothing fancy but it had free weights and some yoga mats so I was able to get in a few great workouts while I was there."
"The room was clean and cleaned daily, The breakfast was good and the discount offer for other brekfast options was appreciated, The only issue we hasd was the toilet that ran continiously for two days but then stopped the dady we checked out. I notified the front desk ofteeh problem but no one ever came by to look at it."
"Friendly & helpful people who know their town & surroundings well helped to make our weekend a memory we will hope to repeat at this very same inn!! I wished we'd had more time to take advantage of all the enriching & artistic activities as well as the wine, but we had to first find a near by Costco to borrow one of their loaner hearing aid chargers. Can you imagine being with someone who could not hear you for 3 days!!! Well, that problem was solved early & we were able to take advantage of all the reasons we chose this area. We relived memories from my childhood among the redwoods & were delighted to find Armstrong Grove to still be in beautiful condition despite the fires of recent years. The Russian River, of course did not disappoint! We will need to come back soon to visit some of the key wineries that I was not interested in when I was younger. And, we did not make it out to Jenner which is still calling to me, as is historic & restored Fort Ross. Cazadero music camp will need to be revisited when the kids are there & performing concerts. Our Innkeeper drove us personally to one of the town's most treasured restaurants where we dined on fine food that was presented so artistically that we could not help but take pictures of it before letting our taste buds join in the treat. Even though I am 79 & my husband is 97, we felt like young kids as we climbed to our rooms along sturdy & attractive walk ways that created a charm not found on simple walk in properties."
