We stayed here because of its central location to see some sights of Santa Rosa and its proximity to the freeway as we had to be up early to attend a bicycle event.
The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful - she asked us if we wanted to stay in a renovated room or a regular room... well, we chose renovated. Why not? The room was stuffy and chemically smelly. The paint and furnishing were nice, but the bathroom renovations were clearly a hack job (who seals a mirror behind a sink backsplash - odd). But I've stayed at worse motels where I could have sworn I saw the remnant of the chalk outlines. No apparent chalk outlines were visible on the nice, new carpet. You guess as to why the carpet is new.
We went out to the nearby brew pub - great by the way - and returned to rest before our early rise. Fortunately my phone has alarm options because the room did not come equipped with an alarm clock/radio. As we lay day to sleep, SIRENS. Ah, get out the travel ear plugs! Being in the prime downtown location, we heard sirens many a time that night seeping though the paper thin walls. Also, the screaming people who must have poured out of the local dive bar felt as if they were in the room with us. (Should've run outside and billed them.)
The next morning we were a groggy mess and I was hoping to get some pool time in before check out. Sadly, the pool was a murky green; a possible base for soylent green. All in all, we got what we paid for: A place to almost sleep.
