“Not up to Courtyard standards”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

You can't take a Days Inn and hang a Marriott sign on it and expect it to be a Marriott. This old Days Inn building is trying, and failing, to be a Courtyard.
It's got a good location and nice staff, but very small rooms, old furniture, very poor wifi service, and a poor breakfast room that they also try to serve dinner in.
The room and bathroom are so small two cats can't dance in them. The AC/heater is loud. The window does not block the freeway noise. There is nothing comfortable about the room.
The only thing that reminds me of a Courtyard is the standard picture on the wall.
The people wanted to make our stay more comfortable, but had little to work with. We checked out after one night and went to a different hotel. Marriott Fairfield Inns are nicer than this Courtyard, and less expensive, and they give you a free breakfast.

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide feedback after your stay with us this week. I'm very pleased to hear that you did like our location close to wineries and Railroad Square, and that our staff exceeded your expectations. I know that Max enjoyed his chats with you during your time with us. While the property was originally built as a Days Inn, it underwent a complete renovation in 1999, 2007, and an additional lobby and public area renovation in 2011. At that time we opened our new Courtyard Bistro which serves not only breakfast, but also dinner and bar service. Our wifi bandwidth is scheduled to be upgraded at the end of this month, and our rooms will also be renovated to compliment our beautiful new lobby in 2013. I do hope that you enjoyed the remainder of your time in beautiful Sonoma wine country, and we hope to see you again in the future.

“Excellent location”

Great location, close to a number of great restaurants. Hotel itself was a bit dated, but kept clean with new furniture in the rooms.

“Rooms can use a remodel..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

I've stayed at Courtyard Santa Rosa a few times while on business in Santa Rosa. It's an older hotel and while the lobby has been remodeled in August of 2010, rooms remained the same.

While guest rooms are clean, they are small and outdated. Tiny bathroom with toilet inside but sink outside the bathroom (I wonder who thought that was a good idea?), loud AC/heater unit, one small mirror in the room and in the most uncomfortable location (over sink). While there isn't much noise coming from the outside, I got barely any sleep due to extremely loud heater and I'm not a light sleeper.

WiFi signal is weak and depends on which room you stay at. Some rooms I've stayed at had better signal and some worse.

Breakfast was not good... if you have a choice, go elsewhere. It's a very basic hotel with a new IKEA style lobby that now looks out of place, considering the rest of the hotel is old. I hope they'll start upgrading rooms soon... it's time.

If you get a good deal and need a clean hotel to spend a night at, then this would work. Otherwise, I'd look around and stay elsewhere.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay with us! First, I am very happy to let you know that our Internet bandwidth will be upgraded as of January 27th, eliminating the weak signal strength which you experienced during your visit. Also in the plans for next year, is an upgrade to the guest rooms to have them match our beautiful new lobby. We have also recently updated the Bistro menu with new seasonal items. We do hope that you choose to stay with us again in the future, and if you would like me to make your reservation personally I'd be happy to. I may be contacted at 707-573-9000 Ext. 157. Thank you again for your continued business and loyalty to Marriott.

Kindest Regards,

Courtyard Management

“Nice place, great location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

If you plan on walking downtown this hotel was so close! We walked everywhere. I do feel the price was high for the quality but they were clean rooms. No complimentary breakfast but there is a Starbucks Bistro within the hotel. I would probably stay here again for location but I may try to find a better deal.

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. Our location is ideal for those guests who wish to walk to dinner, antique stores, the mall, or any other wonderful options that our downtown has to offer. I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Bistro, which is available for breakfast and dinner, and our Starbucks which is available 24 hours.

“Convenient location between Sonoma & Napa.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

It seems to be an older hotel.

It's a good location because we split our time between wineries in St Helena, the Dry Creek & Russian River Valleys.
