Because Alaska Airlines (Horizon Air) eliminated their direct flight from LAX to Eureka, California, we’ve gone back to driving and stopping on the way north in Santa Rosa. We’ve stayed at the Best Western Garden Inn many times with wonderful service, but this time…well…it got down to 27 degrees over night in late December and there were no extra blankets... More

12/27/11 Visit A very good sized room, with parking right in front of our room (all other rooms have this access as well I believe). I found the blankets/bed to be quite substantial (especially compared to the motel 6 we stayed at the previous night), a nice lcd screen tv w/ HBO, and close to many restaurants and grocery stores....

Stayed the last weekend in October 2011 with friends who were participating in the Healdsburg Half Marathon. Room served it's purpose, clean, comfortable and much, much cheaper than staying in Sonoma or Healdsburg. More

We've stayed at this Best Western 5 times...twice over Christmas with other family members in nearby rooms. Staff members have always been helpful and courteous and our rooms large, clean, quiet and nicely appointed. Even my sister's pet friendly rooms were in good shape and fresh smelling and the pet rate was reasonable. The on-site restaurant is a plus for... More

I stay at BW properties over 30 nights a year and usually chose a Plus property as they are a cut above the regular BW's. In this case I was unsure why this property deserved that designation. It was OK, but really had nothing Plus about it. This location is more like an old motor inn, single story with a... More

We stayed at the Best Western for 2 nights in October 2011. We found the rooms to be large, clean and well equipped however our room could do with modernising. Also the only safe you get is in main reception which I always find to be pain. The breakfast room is functional to say the least. Once you've convinced yourself... More

Much worse than your average Best Western. Where do I begin? The auxiliary input on the front of the TV was actually disabled by the staff, unusable even if you have a universal remote. The pools were closed to "maintenance" during my entire stay. The air conditioner was very noisy and barely worked. The sheets were thin as paper and... More

I have never been treated so poorly in a hotel in my entire life. Old woman who works the night shift is extremely rude and even called me in the morning to harass me for having the nerve to decline housekeeping and sleep in. There were meth heads who liked to party until 7am next door to me the entire... More

We stopped here, driving from the coast toward the Sierra's. We basically picked it out of our AAA travel guide, put it in the GPS and arrived on their doorstep, tired and ready to rest. The desk clerk was friendly and offered us a nice room upstairs, away from the road. It was a lovely room, quite large for a... More

This was #1 hotel on dog friendly.com for Santa Rosa, and we needed a place to stay with our two portuguese water dogs on our way to Mendocino. We were very happy with our stay - the room was large, had micro, fridge, hairdryer, good heater, nice lawns. We didn't have their breakfast but saw folks in their restaurant. Nice... More
