Stayed the night and had a wonderful time. Many locals stay at The Rose on weekends as a sort of "stay-cation" when they want to feel as if they are somewhere else. We were definitely one of them.....

Check-in was a breeze. The standard room was much bigger than a regular hotel room elsewhere. The bathroom was huge with a jetted tub and an extremely large walk in shower. The king bed felt like we were the first two to have used it -- it wasn't too soft and wasn't too hard. There is a full size work space for the weekday business travelers that we used as our dining table. There is also complimentary breakfast which is far different than a regular hotel's continental breakfast. Free water, fresh fruit and granola bars can also be found throughout the hotel (nice touch!). In addition, there is a lobby bar. It is not a full bar but does have local Livermore Valley wines (among others) and a variety of beer in which to choose.

The only negative is the extremely small flat screen TV. It was difficult to see while laying in bed so we were forced to move chairs in front to watch it.

All in all, you won't be disappointed in the standard room for the price.

Note -- Friends stayed in one of the larger rooms (even bigger suites) the previous weekend and said they never wanted to leave! However, the cost of their room was over double the cost of a standard sooo they only stayed two nights.....LOL....

We received a one night stay here from some friends and decided to take a vacation from the holidays. We packed up our infant son and headed to Pleasanton for a lovely afternoon, dinner, and overnight stay.

The staff was very welcoming and the hotel feels more like staying in someone's home than a hotel. The lobby is reminiscent of a living room, with a full cookie jar, fruit basket, easy chairs etc. and a beautiful grand staircase in the middle that leads to the second floor. Not to worry, there is also an elevator which came in hand for our stroller and baby luggage.

The room was beautifully appointed with a king sized bed, nice linens, a huge bathroom with whirlpool tub, steam shower, and separate commode area. There was a large flat screen TV tucked away in a nice cabinet, should you choose to use it. It was nice not to be forced to stare at it.

Each room also has a french press for two, Peet's Coffee (a Bay Area company), tea, and all of the coffee "fixings" one needs.

After a fantastic night's sleep, morning breakfast was really nice with plenty of fruit, yogurt, cheeses, cold cuts, donuts, cereal, etc. etc. There was something for everyone.

We can't wait to stay here again! There is a lot to do in the immediate area, excellent restaurants for all palates, and plenty of boutique shopping, parks, etc.

This is my favorite hotel in the East Bay. They think of everything.... snacks everywhere, awesome bathroom and tub, wine bar, fabulous breakfast. Its in downtown next to wonderful restaurants and I love walking the quaint town in the mornings.

We been come back to this hotel for 3years, still lovely -nice staff, good breakfast, great coffee, nice and clean room, comfy bed... But I feel like getting little older
There is tiny crack on the wall, bath tub is leaking
But defenally hidden jewel in Pleasanton area, cute little boutique hotel
