The Sandman Santa Rosa Sonoma, Ascend Hotel Collection

Parking was great. I liked the mini fridge, microwave, toaster oven and “kitchen” sink. I liked that they had a small bottle of dish soap and a kitchen towel so I could clean the dishes and silverware I brought from home. I also liked that I was able to log into my Netflix account on the tv with ease.

We stayed there because of a medical procedure that my husband had nearby. The location was perfect - close to hospital, close to shopping (Trader Joe's is a 5 minute walk, so I could get snacks without having to drive somewhere). I liked the fact that it had a fridge and a microwave, because we are both on restrictive diets and don't go out to eat a lot because of it. The room was super clean and the bed was very comfortable (we like it on the firm side). We could park our car right in front of the window, so loading and unloading was easy.

Staff at the desk was friendly, attentive and helpful. The room was clean, didn't smell bad (no stinky laundry products on the linens!), seems to have been remodeled within recent memory by someone with decent taste and despite proximity to the freeway was pretty quiet (until other guests and their children woke up in the morning, anyway). Brewed coffee and filtered hot water for tea were freely available in the reception area, even for those of us who didn't book the breakfast. Out in back, away from the street and the rooms, there was a nice-looking swimming pool and quiet space to relax, walk dogs etc.

Everything was good, I got there really late by not knowing that there was no taxis at the airport at 1:00am. A young man named Brian was awesome helping my heavy luggage to upstairs/no elevator and very friendly, kind. Breakfast was fine for me bagels, croissants scrambled baked egg, instant oatmeal and drinks. I don't eat much. I didn't have time to use, but swimming pool looks clean and heated, Jacuzzi hot tub looks inviting and opened 24hs. Most importantly the room and bathroom was clean, bed was comfy, shower had good water pressure, had refrigerator, microwave, all I needed. Thank you for your help, Brian!

Big pool with stairs & handrails! Fun time in big hot tub. Fire pits! How fun! Bought $10 breakfast voucher for Huckleberry's Nextdoor-walk, don't try to drive there- big breakfast & only paid for coffee. Big rooms with kitchen sink, refrigerator,microwave AND nice bathroom with big tub & own sink. Big comfy bed, with pillows of different thicknesses. 2 chairs, giant TV!
