Top Downtown Petaluma Hotel Reviews

The Sandman Santa Rosa Sonoma, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is an absolute hidden gem in Santa Rosa. The property is spacious and welcoming, with a pool, a real breakfast (not just pastries and coffee), and a relaxed atmosphere that stands out. What makes it special, though, is the community. The people who tend to stay here are consistently some of the most interesting and enjoyable travelers I've met. If you're passing through this part of California, it's a wonderful place to stop and spend a few days."

Elm House Inn

8/10 Good

"Nothing fancy but great location off 29 and easy drive into downtown Napa (also walkable, a mile). Grounds are very well-maintained, clean, quiet, rooms/decor could use updates but are fine. Bed too soft for our taste but all was comfortable. Dining area for breakfast quite cramped but a big draw here is the hot breakfast included. Same each day but a nice start."

DoubleTree by Hilton Sonoma - Wine Country

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very pleasant resort-type hotel in Rohnert Park. Even if you are not into golf or gambling, both of which are very accessible, this is a delightful hotel to stay in. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the staff friendly and helpful, and the amenities are great. We very much enjoyed sunning by the pool and the hot tub was great for relaxing. The restaurant is also very good with diverse options and great taste."

Hotel La Rose

10/10 Excellent

"Although I prefer to stay in the main building, because the rooms remind me of my grandmother's house, I spent a week in a beautiful, spacious suite in the new addition. It is a light-filled space that is built around a flower-filled courtyard. Upstairs rooms have balconies and lower floor rooms have gated patios. Thisvisca gated venue, with access provided by your room key. Hotel La Rose is ideally located in Railroad Square in Santa Rosa. It is a short walk to the Smart Train platform. The ride is free for people over age 65! It is easy to head go as far north as Windsor or as far south as Larkspur, where ferry connections can be made to San Francisco. Railroad Square offers a choice of several good restaurants and a charming ice cream parlor with specialty ice cream flavors. There are some intriguing antique stores, a game store, a terrific yarn shop which holds a variety of classes, and a Junior League thrift store whose profits serve needy children in the area! One of my favorite events is the Tuesday night lighted bike parade which rolls through Railroad Square and can be a fun finish for Taco Tuesday at Chevy"s!"
