    We've stayed at Astro twice now and really love the artistic vibe. The paintings and outdoor sculptures add a creative touch throughout the property. It's peaceful, surrounded by fruit trees, and there's a beautiful park within walking distance right across the street. Great customer service and it is conveniently located close to downtown Santa Rosa and many other businesses.

    This was my favorite hotel experience of my entire trip, and I recommend staying here if you're staying in Santa Rosa! The Astro is a newly remodeled and modern motel, with a distinctly retro space theme. The rooms are on two levels in multiple buildings around a courtyard that's landscaped and has a fire pit for weekend hangouts. Check in was a breeze and the attendant was super welcoming. The complex has a lounge and meal area, a cool local artwork vending machine is outside near the ice machines. The rooms had eclectic furniture with all modern fixtures including the bathroom and sink area. They also have a huge wine fridge, which is a necessity if exploring the wineries in this area. The hotel was very quiet, even more so being next to a beautiful park. It's walking distance from downtown, the river pathways, gardens, historical sites, breweries, and restaurants. Room rates are fair for the area.

    The Astro is out of this world! My husband & I recently stayed here for 2 nights as our home base for exploring Sonoma County and the Sonoma Coast for his birthday before heading further north to go ziplining. What they've done to this property over the past several years is something quite special and otherworldly! Sorry, the puns keep coming to me lol! ;) It's giving "The Jetsons" mixed with an urban, artsy & maybe even a little hipster vibe...pretty unique if you ask me! Not only is their location convenient and walking distance to many cafes, restaurants and downtown Santa Rosa, but it's also situated directly across the street from a lovely neighborhood park called Juilliard Park that we loved taking a walk through in the morning or early evening. Love biking/cycling? They have Shinola bikes available to rent, or if you bring your own bikes, they have a storage facility and even an on-site bike repair station! We're definitely going to take advantage of that the next time we stay here (which will be soon - we actually just booked another stay here!). The breakfast provided for guests was unexpected and awesome! Being vegan/plant-based, there were several things we couldn't partake in like the yogurt, pastries/donuts, etc, but we loved the fresh fruit, coffee, tea, and the Spinster Sisters Granola (incredible!). The breakfast is served in their guest lounge, which in itself is another cool little place for guests to chill & hang out. They've got board games, vintage furniture & decor, and even music! Room details: comfy bed, great rain shower head (!), clean (except for a big dirt spot or stain on the top sheet which we just avoided), unique mid-century decor & furniture (there are no 2 rooms exactly alike), good-sized mini fridge to store some food with a few optional drinks and snacks for purchase, and nice view of the central garden and courtyard area. Speaking of which has fire pits, Cornhole games, fruit trees and various plants, local art sculptures, and lots of places to sit and relax. The gentleman who was working in the office the morning we checked out (6/24/24) was incredibly friendly and kind (thank you and sorry I forgot your name!). We truly were over the moon and had a stellar stay at The Astro!

    This Motel is nothing short of amazing. We loved the vintage MCM furniture in the room. We loved the feel of being immersed in a time capsule of motels of days gone by. We loved the friendly staff. We loved the coffee and granola in the morning lounge. The Astro is a must stay if you're nostalgic for a time that doesn't exist anymore, but that also brings it up to 21st century standards. Great place!

    I booked one night at The Astro through booking.com the night before my trip and got a great rate. ($128 total) I arrived early in the day and was trying to pass some time but it was a hot one so I called to ask if I could check in a bit early (an hour early). I spoke to Bob and he said no problem. Come on over. Bob is the best! Very charming and made me feel welcome. He also walked me to my room to showed me around. I love mid-century style so the decor and design was totally up my alley. My room (#217) was super clean and I was very impressed. I was able to fill up my water bottle in the lounge and the next morning I also grabbed breakfast there as well. I had coffee, yogurt (Clover!) and a donut. They also had some fresh fruit. I was very happy with my stay and would totally stay again.

    Original bill

    Really great to really bad. First the really bad. Received checkout pdf. Opening it I found my bill increased by $16.35. I also noticed a "donation " which looking back to my booking email was on the original reservation but didn't notice. Called the hotel and asked why my bill went up and after checking - they couldn't tell me why. The "donation" to SRUAP was only $7.41. But I expect to be asked if I want to donate and told what organization I'm donating too - not just find it on my bill. Still don't know what SRUAP is. Both were refunded to my credit card. I emailed the manager about another issue and in my second email asked about the billing. I've given the manager several days to address this and the manager hasn't respond to that email. So were these charges an error or do they increase everyone's bill to make extra and reimburse if caught? If they fill 5 rooms a night = 35 rooms a week and overcharge each $10.00 = 350.00 week or 1,400 a month. $16,800 a year. Adds up nicely. My other issue is the lounge microwave they advertise. During my stay they gave it to another customer for a day. Long story short there was another micro in another locked building I had to track someone down to use. When the micro was being returned to the lounge I asked to have it in my room. I was told no. So I asked why the other customer could have it in their room and I couldn't as I paid full price for my room. The gal in the office just looked at me. Because - there is no answer. If you read through negative reviews you will find a common theme of personnel problems. My first email to the manager was about the microwave issue. Instead of offering a rebate on my stay she offered a 20% on my next stay. I emailed she should make it right by rebating my last stay, the stay that went wrong. She never emailed me back. The good. The remodel on the hotel, rooms, lounge and grounds are excellent. Somewhat a drawback the parking lot is very small and I wouldn't have wanted to park in the area around the hotel. The outside lighting is very bright. The windows only have wood shutters. I could make out the detail on the artwork on the wall with the interior lights off. If you're interested in retro hotels I recommend The Orbit in Palm Springs CA $$$ or The Foothills $$ in Auburn CA. Both have stellar employees.

    Lovely hip 50s motel, remodeled with exceptional flair with a beautiful courtyard sculpture garden. Great central neighborhood allowed my wife and I a morning walk through Juilliard Park and the Luther Burbank gardens, just across the street. Included breakfast was not the usual cheap danishes but fresh-baked delights from a neighborhood bakery, along with artisan granola and great berries. (Coffee wasn't my favorite. I never say this, but I found it brewed a hair too strong. Literally my only grouse.) Parking is just a bit awkward, but the price was more than fair for Wine Country and we were just pleased as could be with our stay.

    Stayed here for a night while visiting Santa Rosa, pleasantly surprised about the cuteness of the hotel and interior furniture. Mid century modern style (so millennial, yeah). For the note, if you like any item in your room/outside, you can order them from their website. It was quite a decent hotel with many closeby attractions. I'd consider here again if I visit Santa Rosa.

    I love an artsy motel with a story! The mid century deco and vintage furniture are a nice touch. Stay was very comfortable. Friendly staff. Loved the breakfast setup of yogurt, yummy granola, fruit, coffee & tea provided. Onsite parking included that felt safe. Great merch for sale in the lobby! Walkable food nearby and short drive to the downtown area, museum, spas and vineyards. Comfy Casper bed!!!

Rooms are old and dont smell great. There were also some unsavory type guests staying in some neighboring rooms. I got he feeling this may be a popular place for unhoused people to stay when they get enough money together for a room. Our next door neighbor was clearly on drugs and came outside and glared at us and slammed his door each time we went to our car. Very odd and a bit unsettling. Bottom line, this hotel is just too inexpensive to be a safe place to stay. I'll just pay $20 more p night and stay in a Hampton Inn or Garden Inn as opposed to this location.

I would definitely go back.

    Stayed here before and the property is very nice, so there was no reason to go elsewhere. Overall,…read moreanother great stay but not without some mishaps. The weekend we stayed was a busy one, so the property was mostly occupied. The staff was moving as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Upon check-in, which was an hour late beyond check-in time, we had to store our luggage with the front desk. We were hoping to get in on time so we could freshen up before our wine tasting but we just used the lobby bathroom. When we got back from lunch, we get to our one-bedroom suite, which is the Sonoma Garden Suite. The room is super nice and spacious room with a full patio (see photos); it easily fits 4-5 (two full beds and one couch). But we had one problem....the room was soooo hot...mind you, we went on a hot weekend. We called for service and they send the engineer to look at our AC unit twice. Air was blowing, but it was warm air. At this point, we decided we cannot stay in this room, and I asked the front desk what can be done. They said they could move us to another room. I asked for TWO rooms bc technically, the suite we had was a room made for 4+ people and I booked it for the sole factor being we had lots of extra space (800+ SF). After a little back and forth, the young lady at the front desk said there was nothing they could do bc they only had ONE room. Then the front desk manager Eddie Huang stepped in and said they will try to fix the AC one more time when my group and I were out to dinner. Before leaving, I asked in the event the AC is NOT fixed, what are our options. He said they would figure that out when I got back, but I told him I didn't want to deal with this after a later dinner; I would rather have some kind of backup plan as the two first visits from the engineer did not result in anything. I left slightly annoyed, bc although I was reassured they would make it right, there was no clear plan. We left for dinner, came back to the room, changed, and made the decision that we needed to get out of this room ASAP. Luckily two of the gals were able to deal with the air, but two of us could not. So, we marched to the front desk and front desk manager Eddie was still there. He said he has taken the necessary steps to move us into TWO rooms and that they are ready now. Told him we only needed one room since the other two guests were ok with staying where they were. The next morning, we checked out and Eddie was there again, said he reimbursed us all our points, and took care of the resort/parking fee as well. I was pleasantly surprised. I know sometimes the staff can only do so much, especially given it was a busy weekend, but I have to say the two times I've been here, the staff was very nice and keep their cool. Patrons can be unruly so a high-five to them for dealing with the complaints. This property remains one of the nicer ones and is within walking distance of so many good eats. I would go back again and hopefully try to make use of that nice patio in that suite I booked.

    Our experience with the Hilton Flamingo Spa started off very disappointing. We booked our stay…read morespecifically because we had spa appointments, only to have them canceled the day before due to staffing issues. It was frustrating, especially since the spa was the main reason we chose this hotel. Thankfully, Kaylee completely turned the experience around. She listened to our concerns with genuine care, took ownership of the situation, and went above and beyond to make things right. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication to customer service made all the difference. Thanks to Kaylee, what started as a frustrating trip ended up being a memorable and enjoyable one. Hilton is fortunate to have someone like Kaylee on their team. While the initial experience was disappointing, her outstanding service restored our confidence and made our trip perfect. Thank you, Kaylee, for truly caring about your guests.

    First of all, Hilton booking sucks. It wouldn't let me book online so I had to call on the phone…read more They are also one of the only chains that charges more for refundable booking (which ended up being relevant). It looked like the price was fluctuating only about $5-10 per day so I decided to book. After, I booked, the price dropped by about $50 per night (taking taxes and fees into account) including up until the day of our trip. I tried to call on the phone to request an upgrade to account for that, and I will save you the details, but they were extremely unhelpful. Then the hotel was 98% sold out. Already a bit of a sour taste... The room is tiny; I originally thought the bathroom was a closet. This is the smallest hotel room I have stayed in ever. The bed takes up most of the room. Ridiculously small. The bed is rather large and comfy. The pool was VERY busy over the weekend. I used the gym/health club sufficiently so that was a positive. Local residents can join the club so it really is a full size gym with classes. It is a few parking lots walk over depending on where your room is located. This made up for some of the negatives with pricing and room size. The location is great depending on what you want to explore. The vibe of the hotel itself is cool with the restoration. Checkout is at noon, which is considerably later than I have experienced elsewhere. Overall, we had a good time but would likely book here again only if the price was right (and not a basic room)!

    AC Hotel by Marriott Santa Rosa Deeply Disturbing Experience:…read more Unlawful Room Entry, Humiliation by Staff I stayed two nights at this property, prepaid through Priceline, without any issues. On the morning of checkout I proactively booked and prepaid an additional night through Priceline, over $175 for a Friday night, specifically so I could remain in good standing and continue my stay without interruption. I called the front desk to let them know I had extended and asked whether I could remain in the same room. The agent said she would call me back. I never received that call. Approximately one hour later, while I was in the bathroom without my pants on, there was violent pounding on my door, loud enough to suggest an emergency. Before I could respond, the door was forced open. Three hotel staff members were standing in the doorway. When one of them saw that I was not dressed, she did not stop or step back. She pushed into the room, loudly demanding I be escorted out. I was then escorted downstairs in front of other guests and lectured about checkout time, as if I were unaware, despite having just paid $175+ for that exact night. The staff member handling the situation was apparently not aware I had already paid for the night, which means this entire confrontation was the result of an internal communication failure, not anything I did wrong. When I became upset, reasonably so, given I had just been physically removed from a room I legally paid for while partially undressed, I was told to leave the property entirely and to seek a refund through Priceline. There was no phone call, no knock-and-wait, no basic courtesy. Three employees were dispatched to physically confront a solo guest who had done nothing wrong. The dignity and privacy of a paying customer were completely disregarded. I am pursuing a full refund and have filed complaints with Marriott corporate, the BBB, and am exploring legal options under California law. Do not stay here if you expect your reservation to be honored or your basic dignity to be respected.

The building is also a very short walk to the downtown square with plenty of shopping and restaurants. There was also a nice common space that had continental breakfast items for grab and go. However, I found that some of the customer service was lacking, and this was very dependent on who was behind the front desk. We had one person who was pretty unhelpful and got annoyed when we asked about accessing parking or if they would be willing to hold bags behind the desk, but when we came back later, there was a different person, and they were very helpful.
