“Great Place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012

My husband and I drove into Santa Rosa with no hotel reservations and found Hotel La Rose on the web. It was late at night (we were 12 hours on the road) and the desk clerk stayed on the phone so we would not get lost. We had a suite and it was just that -- sweet. We took advantage of the historic location and walked all over downtown. It was the perfect place from which to launch day trips as well. We took advantage of the hotel restaurant, really good food, reasonably priced, and attentive wait staff. We will definitely stay there again.

Room Tip: There is a main hotel building and an annex either are great. Location, location, location.

“not in love with hotel la rose”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

Staying in a Historic hotel in quaint old town (railyard district) Santa Rosa was appealing to us. The price was reasonable, especially compared to anything in Napa. Our room was on the 4th floor, with a very low sloped ceiling that we hit our heads on several times. It felt very closed in, especially since the windows were so small and high up. The comforter and pillows smelled "old", like it needed laundering. The bathroom was marble, and quite nice. The toiletries were very nice, high end. The restaurant was very poor. It took quite a while to get a cold yogurt parfait for breakfast, and there was only one other customer who came after us...
Then, on our last night (of 2), at about 4 am, I felt something on my feet, and turned on the light. It was a mouse! It ran across the room, and hid in the corner. We shooed it out of the room, and tried to report it to the front desk, but there was no answer. We told the desk clerk the next morning, and she seemed quite surprised and alarmed. She said it was not common, and refunded one nights stay. I probably wouldn't stay there again.

Room Tip: don't stay on the 4th floor, as the rooms are very small to start with, and feel smaller due to...

“Hotel La Rose”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012

Spotty at Best!! We stayed 3 days in room 59 of the carriage house. The room was large and the bed comfortable. We had to call to have the room serviced after being out ALL day, our first day. After that the room was serviced in a timely manner. The room seemd a bit worn and not nearly as nice looking as the one that our friends stayed in, in the main hotel. The night light outside our door was not working, and was not replaced even after reporting it on day one. We had breakfast once in the dining room. Service was slow and the food mediocre. Given the historic appeal of this hotel we were disappointed.

Room Tip: Rooms seem to be in better condition in the main hotel than in the carriage house.

“Great stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

My partner and I stayed at La Rose for 4 nights as we were attending a friend's wedding. A very pleasant stay. Our room was clean with modern amenities. On our third day we had lunch in the restaurant which was very tasty and the waiter was very attentive. The bar person poured the wrong drink for me, when I pointed this out he was very apologetic and I was given a complimentary one.
Would definetly stay again.

Room Tip: Ask for a coach house room/suite

“Outstanding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012

My husband and I stayed here for seven of eight nights in this lovely, old, historical hotel in the heart of old Santa Rosa. We enjoyed the whole experience!! The rooms were authentically decorated with modern amenities and our second room was a Junior Suite upgrade that was spacious and well furnished in early 19th century furniture with modern conveniences in keeping with the decor!! We had a delicious extended continental breakfast every morning.

The Staff, Dade, Janet and the lovely woman at night, as well as everyone else, were friendly, helpful, accommodating, and very professional and were there to please us from the moment we arrived until we sadly, left.

I would highly recommend this Hotel!!! It was a GREAT experience!! Thank you so much, Hotel La Rose for everything!!!!

Room Tip: One of the front room Junior Suites
