We stayed here two nights and specifically requested the newer carriage house. We liked our large quiet room and the high speed Internet access was a real plus. We also enjoyed the location of the hotel in the historic Railroad Square and its proximity to downtown Santa Rosa. Some dislikes: shower water pressure was weak, pillows were not comfortable. It is important to note that the brochure for the Hotel La Rose lists a complimentary European breakfast as one of its amenities; however, the hotel no longer offers this to guests. We pointed this out to the staff, who did not apologize for the error nor remove the brochures from the display.

First came here on business in August 2011' came back in December, 2011 and never thought to stay anywhere else. 100 year old restored jewel in the historic railroad depot district of Sonoma county's largest city. There are two buildings, the main and the carriage house. Never stay in the main building because the carriage house is so wonderful. Huge room, immaculately decorated in modern Victorian , door opens to balcony or deck overlooking internal courtyard garden reminiscent of New Orleans. Comfy bed, keurig coffee maker, nice sized bathroom, fluffy towels, spotless. Front desk works to please and the new restaurant, Iron Stone has gotten rave reviews. Heading there tomorrow night for dinner. Great find if you're in Sonoma county wine country.

My husband and I stayed here for one night while attending our friend's wedding nearby. The hotel was lovely, with lots of character. We arrived at 4pm, checked in (which was very smooth and pleasant), went to the wedding, came home late, and left at 5am. So to be fair, we did not really interact much with the staff. However, check in and check out (at 5am) were both perfectly nice experiences.

Location was very nice - close to lots of cute shopping and nightlife, overall nice neighborhood.

Hotel itself was quite nice. The lobby was very quaint and pretty. Our room was also nice and well appointed. This is an old world hotel. I certainly appreciated the character of the decor and architecture of the hotel. That being said, the rooms looked a little bit tired with faded colors, as if they'd just lost a little luster. The bathrooms however were nicely updated - all appliances were clearly in an older fashion, but fully functioning.

Lastly, beds were incredibly comfortable. Overall would recommend for a quaint week-end trip, but anything longer you may want something a little larger and more updated.

I've stayed at the Hotel La Rose many times over the past 10 years. I love the staff - especially Janet and Valentin, and the homey comfort of the main building. It's reminiscent of a European hotel, which I enjoy. I dislike over-decorated bed and breakfast places and have had my fill of sterile, hyper-modern establishments. I love the quiet and I love the Railroad Square area. the breakfast is continental, but fresh and good, and there are many restaurants within walking distance. I haven't tried to new restaurant, iron Stone, but am looking forward to it. My favorite places nearby are Aroma for coffee and a bagel, and Petite Syrah for dinner or lunch. There's an Italian place around the corner that has fantastic food too. We always come away relaxed and restored. I highly recommend Hotel La Rose.
