8/10 Good
"This hotel was nice and accommodating with free breakfast every day and one free drink during happy hour every day as well. Plenty of parking, nice staff, and not far away from the heart of wine country. Our room itself was slightly rundown with the couch leather peeling off completely in multiple areas, but that really didn’t take away from our experience at all. Why I didn’t rate it a five star though was due to the disgusting smell that radiated from outside of the hotel persistently during our stay. I’m not sure what that was, if they participate in on site composting or what. but it certainly was a turn off and was disappointing because it made us not want to utilize the outdoor amenities, such as the pool or hot tub due to the extreme smell. So just a heads up on that."

"Beautiful hotel! The entire staff was wonderful and clearly had customer service as their first priority. Anything we needed was attended to promptly. We lounged by the pool, got spa services (which were amazing) and sat out until late at night on our terrace! The hotel is convenient to Healdsburg, Santa Rosa and the Redwood parks. We loved the location and the fact that things were convenient, but not right outside the hotel. We also had a lot of fun in the “secret” pool room!"
