“The garden setting is a standout, providing a tranquil counterpoint to its convenient location near the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. Family-friendly suites and a heated outdoor pool appeal to a range of guests, though light sleepers might request a room away from the street. I think its dedication to accommodating pets makes it an especially welcoming choice in Santa Rosa.”
