Stayed here for one night, and there were some great things about the hotel, and some things that were lacking. As for the positives, the rooms are all very clean, spacious, and comfortable with amenities like kitchenettes and seating areas. The building is also a very short walk to the downtown square with plenty of shopping and restaurants. There was also a nice common space that had continental breakfast items for grab and go. However, I found that some of the customer service was lacking, and this was very dependent on who was behind the front desk. We had one person who was pretty unhelpful and got annoyed when we asked about accessing parking or if they would be willing to hold bags behind the desk, but when we came back later, there was a different person, and they were very helpful. In addition, this isn't a resort, so they don't have amenities like a gym/pool or dining onsite, but that's expected. I would probably stay here again based on the rooms and location. It's a great option for a longer, economical, comfortable stay. read more

What a great way to kick off 2026! Had the pleasure of staying here for the MLK long weekend. We've had a tradition of holding an annual family reunion in Wine Country. We historically have stayed in the Healdsburg area. This year we decided to mix it up a bit and stay in Santa Rosa. With its proximity to Santa Rosa downtown as well as multiple other wine country towns and attractions, we picked Art House to stay at. For our very large group of 20+ people, everything went super smoothly from start to finish. Booking our multiple rooms all on the same floor of the hotel was so easy and ideal. We booked everything from the Classic King Rooms to the Urban King Apartment Suite all the way up to the Cityscape Corner Apartment Suite. All the rooms were extremely reasonably priced and worked out great! I personally stayed in the Corner Apartment Suite and it was just such a great space. With a huge living/dining room, full kitchen and separate bedroom with a king bed and bathroom, it was so comfy. The floor to ceiling windows let in so much natural light with sweeping views of the Santa Rosa skyline. It frequently served as homebase most of our stay for everyone to just gather and hang out together in. It was just a fantastic room. Another huge plus was the complimentary Continental Breakfast. Stocked with bagels, English muffins, muffins, cereal, granola, yogurt, juice, milk, Nespresso coffee and various teas, this was simply fantastic to start the day with. For our huge group with multiple kids, it also saved us so much hassle and extra money vs. going out to an off-site restaurant for breakfast. What also made our stay EXTRA AMAZING was all of the staff. From the front desk team to housekeeping, every single staff member was absolutely wonderful. I will especially like to point out Marilyn, Ruth and Bernadette. This trio of women really went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. I really hope the hotel management recognizes this remarkable team. To be a good, complete reviewer, I will point out the few minor quibbles that others in our group did mention. The $21/night parking in the extremely tight enclosed garage was a bit pricey. Paid street parking is plentiful and cheaper, but if you have a nicer car then the choice is yours. The local Santa Rosa tap water flowing from all the room faucets could use a filter to help improve the taste a bit. And finally the shower pressure could use a lesser flow restrictor. Overall, Art House is just a fantastic choice if you are looking to stay in the Santa Rosa area. Our huge group unanimously agreed that we will definitely be back for a future repeat reunion here! read more

Stayed here overnight as the half way point up to Trinidad both up and back. We had our 14 month old son with us so we really enjoyed the extra space the rooms provided and the wood flooring as my wife hates carpeted rooms in hotels. The breakfast is included but is very limited so it's more to get something in your stomach, good news is it's very close to downtown with amazing brunch and coffee spots. Parking was 25 dollars over night but there is also metered parking on the streets. Lots of bars and brew pubs in the area as well as a card shop next door which I enjoyed. Definitely would recommend if you're stopping for the night and enjoy extra room and very nice and kind hotel staff. read more

A refreshing serene place to hang your hat. Within walking distance to many great restaurants, microbreweries and local artists. The Art house hotel is clean and accommodating. We loved the extra large space, the balcony and the cool miniature pink fridgeadare, very retro. The bathroom was well stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. A well stocked nespresso machine with choices of flavors. Although the advertisement states breakfast, please note, this is a continental breakfast with yogurt, muffins, packaged bagels, juice and coffee. Enough to get you started. Parking is available in their garage for a fee $$. Otherwise there is metered parking that charges from 9 am to 6 pm. A great way to ensure the hotel guests leave early . read more

Excellent experience. Was upgraded to one of the nicer rooms. Our hotel host that day was great. She seemed really intent on us having a good experience .. Good location with lots of restaurants around read more

A most well deserved five-star rating: wonderful room, spacious and clean. The place was nice, all looked clean and staff were very helpful. Breakfast was fine. If in Santa Rosa, I'd for sure want to stay there again. In addition, it's two blocks from downtown, and a ten-minute walk from the old town. Absolutely loved it, would love to stay there again. read more

The staff were very lovely. The location is great if you want to be close to downtown SR. $22 parking per day to park in their structure. We didn't get it. We parked on the street and paid for street parking which was cheaper. No water fountain or free water. The continental breakfast was lacking. Breakfast included bread, muffins, and yogurt. There is coffee and tea while breakfast is served. Definitely plan on having breakfast somewhere. The room was clean but lacking soul. Art House kinda felt like a Half Way House. The shower pressure was so bad! I don't like to complain, so I didn't say anything. Definitely will not be coming back. Might want to look at something else if you're going to be spending a lot of time in the room. Great for people who are just coming there to sleep. read more

The hotel was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The woman at the front desk, ms Ruth, was wondering and understanding during our check in and even though we had a little issue with the number of people I had in the room in the room with me, the management team were just as understanding. The area is in downtown with just walks to restaurants and bars and the many shopping plazas the city has to offer. We had a wonderful stay. The staff were great, it was clean. read more

My mom stayed here while she was prepping for & recovering from a medical procedure at the hospital nearby. Everything was clean and pleasant. I wanted to specifically shout out Lori, who went completely out of her way to help us when I believe she was off the clock and on her way home. She helped us get into the garage as I believe the key entry was not working and then made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you! read more

It was a decent spot tho there was no parking like the site stated and I was ticketed because there is only 6 hr parking within 2 blocks we arrived late so we where not comfortable walking 2 blocks with luggage. Ticket was 40 so account for that if coming late. Room was nice and clean location was nice could use some more art?!?! read more

Spacious, luxurious accommodations and friendly service! My partner and I stayed here for just 1 night for a little weekend getaway. Santa Rosa has a lot of breweries, so I highly recommend a visit - and staying overnight so you can drink!! The location of the hotel is perfect - right in downtown - walking distance to Russian River Brewing Company! There are other breweries and plenty of restaurants within walking distance as well. I needed a fridge because I brought some food from home to eat lol. I was kindly upgraded to a studio room! It was soo spacious. I like to bring a yoga mat when I travel - and there was plenty of space to do yoga and more! Lol. The studio room has not one but two double-door/sliding door closets - maybe ideal for longer stays haha. There were two sofas, a full size fridge/freezer, sink, small dishwasher, stovetop, and a Nespresso machine. There was a comfy king size bed, TV, and a small balcony as well. All the details about the space feel comfortable, modern, new, and luxurious. When we called for more coffee pods, they were happy to bring them to our room - and did so in a timely fashion. The cherry on top is that checkout time was noon! We slept in comfortably and took advantage of a later than average checkout time. The only downside is parking - $15/night. Be prepared for that! Also, check the area for alternative parking garages. I hope to come back and stay again! read more

Art House - Urban escape studio! So comfy and spacious - Hotels Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Still agree that it was a nice place to stay after 6 weeks. Ruth is awesome and really gives the whole place the appeal. So interesting and a great personality. Tony is very helpful, Juanita was very friendly too. Loved our room. But a few updates only for the purpose of more accurate information, not necessarily complaints as some of it comes with the territory: The washer and dryer are convenient, washer does a great job. The dryer was a pain, do smaller loads and I noticed that I had to adjust the clothes to be on the right of one of the baffles (fins) of the drum. And then it would start but would take several cycles to dry even on sanitize. The dishwashers are newer but don't do a great job (I know a lot don't). The kitchen sink is huge though! And the coffee pods for the Nespresso machine are great! It is a bit loud of an ally. I could hear people speaking, cars and when sanitation came by (which seemed fairly frequently) it was LOUD. I heard the people move around upstairs fairly often but not enough to complain over. Couldn't really hear neighbors or when rooms were being serviced. Which brings me to my next subject. Housekeeping. We did not have service daily nor weekly. We did put our trash outside the front door in the am while they were cleaning and taking out trash. We mostly cleaned for ourselves and maybe had the bedding changers ~4 times, just asking for towels etc ourselves. The first couples times the housekeeping was decent. Two rolls of toilet paper, dishwasher soap packets and all trashes were emptied. Now after that, coffee pods were not refilled, all trashes were not emptied, no toilet paper left, one time my box of tissues was taken or thrown away. I parked in the garage and one of the carts had toilet paper and tissue boxes so I grabbed one of each and told the night worker I had because we were out. I started having to come down for these items. Another time dirty water was left in the tub and not drained and some cleaning solutions left in the bathroom. I kept the place clean and since I noticed they didn't sweep or clean the floors we requested a broom, which i received, and started sweeping myself. I am a clean person and kept the place in order, it was 6 weeks, basically my apartment. We were charged a cleaning fee in the beginning and considering I kept it clean I did not feel I needed to tip, I was already charged ‍. (I normally do at hotels especially for long stays and most Residence inns would do my dishes, wipe counters, clean floors, the works...). Additionally the job wasn't that great. In the end we were asked if we had tipped or left a tip for them to clean since we were leaving. It is my understanding that when a guest leaves you must clean everything, refill everything. And with the exception of leaving out unopened boxes of food and kitchen items that I felt someone may want, I picked up after myself and don't feel there was a significant amount of work to do considering it had been kept clean. This irritated me and leads me to believe that the job became less than satisfactory because they felt they were owed a tip. I work over 48 hours a week and manage to keep quiet and clean up after myself, go down to get my own supplies and not request housekeeping. I was offended that they did less and less each time and wanted a tip at the end. I paid over 9k for 6 weeks. Moving on, I would suggest that housekeeping get organized and if a tip is expected then maybe that should be mentioned or arranged differently in the payment. Otherwise the place itself is beautiful, there are balconies in some units as well as windows that open for some fresh air. Yes, I would stay again. read more

Upon check in we were met with a wonderful kind lady named Miriam who we ended up talking to for much more time after we checked in because she was just so friendly and welcoming. The room was so cute and clean and had espresso machines which was so nice!! Checking back out, Ruth greeted us and talked to me for quite a while about life and my career before we checked out. Overall great experience, definitely will come back again! read more

I just happened to find this hotel on Hotels.com at a reasonable price and it was a great stay for the price we paid. The hotel is newly established so the condition of the rooms are great. Very clean and modern. Our deluxe queen room was spacious even with a crib (which the hotel provided us). Yes they could use sound proofing for sure, like a few other reviews said. We thought there was a dinasour walking upstairs. And the water pressure for shower was pretty bad. The location is awesome (walkable to many places in downtown). There are lots of parking spots (street, lots and garages). The hotel provides parking spot for $15 as well. Would stay here again when visiting Santa Rosa. read more

What started out as an honest and constructive review regarding the lack of sleep at this hotel, due to paper thin walls has now turned in to me leaving an *updated" review. A few days after hours stay, and ultimately my two star review, I received a call from who I can only imagine is this hotel's owner, Tony. Tony proceeded to tell me on the phone how the hotel was actively going to try and install insulation between the rooms but that if I would just please go back and delete my review he would be so kind as to send me a free stay at his hotel I told him that was not necessary but he insisted and he kept reiterating that he needed me to go back and delete the review even though everything I spoke on was the truth. Well, of course I didn't go delete the review because well it's important for other travelers to be aware of what they're getting into. And of course, Tony never sent that free stay. But that's okay, I was never going to go back and lose sleep with this place again. You shouldn't either. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to stay here over Labor Day weekend on a whim and we did not regret it. Location was great. Walking distance to downtown. The room was clean, spacious and comfy. They provided robes and slippers. The only complaint I have was the water pressure of the shower. Not the best. They provide complimentary coffee with a Nespresso machine but I think they should have provided at least one free water bottle for the room so we could enjoy the coffee. As for parking, we parked on the street by the hotel. Will I be staying here again, yes!! read more

I think I might be one of the very first guests. The building still smells like the paint is drying. There's no art up on the walls anywhere -- it currently looks really ... barren. If I was staying longer than just my one night, I'd find it to be really depressing. That being said, because it is still new it's also very clean and quiet. Its location is exceptionally convenient. My brief encounter with the staff at the front desk during check in was very friendly. Again, there's literally no decoration while I was here. There's empty shelves really to be covered. This place might be interesting in the next few weeks/months as they settle in. For now, it's not bad. read more

The hotel appears new and is super clean. Hallways and our room smelled fresh and not dusty like most hotels. Our room was very spacious and we loved our balcony. The hotel is in the waking distance to most fun places in Santa Rosa, especially if you like beer. Breakfast is basic but enough if you are looking for a quick bite. Loved that our car was securely parked inside and that we had easy access to it. Worth the price ! read more

Brand New ART HOUSE Urban Luxury Hotel You can stay in Napa, Sonoma, and Healdsburg, yet you will pay the Super Uber big bucks often in a lackluster wine country room. You can also choose an average motel in those areas. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground in the fancy towns of Sonoma or Napa counties. The price range between high-end hotels and low-end motels runs from fourteen hundred down to three hundred per night in these overly crowded boom town areas. You'll get tired of hunting for a great deal in the so-called "greatest" places within the wine counties. So, your new favorite wine country stay is in SANTA ROSA, and the hotel you will adore the most is the called ART HOUSE. ART HOUSE is a brand new, conveniently located luxury hotel with generously moderate pricing between Sonoma and Healdsburg and a Stone's throw to Napa cities. The most significant part about Art House is the spacious modern luxury condominium-style studios with city views, studios with balconies and kitchens, and one-bedroom fully loaded luxury condos. It's a home away from home, and you won't want to leave. Think timeshare luxury condos with full kitchens, living and dining rooms, and washer and dryer. Or a spiffy deal for a deluxe room with a city light's view. The greatest thing, though, is the darling and helpful and kind people Daisy, Ruth, Ray, and Tony, who treat you with kid gloves, answering you're every whim from wine tasting coupons to Nespresso coffee to a bottle of wine for special occasions. Ruth especially loves encouraging you to go wine tasting, river tours, bicycling, eat at great restaurants, and she shares fascinating, historical stories that you will remember forever. So Why is Santa Rosa the new Healdsburg? Because Quaint and humble Healdsburg is gone. Its sophistication has choked the charm out of it with overpriced, overly booked, highfalutin yet average restaurants, shops, wineries, and establishments--the snobbery and crowds. It's a far cry from its old secret local reputation of calm, engaging, and offbeat. It's just another Napa but worse because it's NOT Napa, and for that matter, it's not SANTA ROSA. Santa Rosa by far has the best down-to-earth and delicious foodie restaurants, including the best Mexican food at La Rosa and the most superb fried chicken on the planet, at Bird and The Bottle. There are many more restaurants, still some great dive bars, music venues, theaters, and shops. Santa Rosa is a bigger and better wine country town version with more of everything. The surrounding city shopping includes Costco, Trader Joe's, Target, Macy's, and a huge Barnes and Noble, and their farmers market is hands down the best with Fresh farm organic and creative offerings. You're in the thrust of real Sonoma life when you stay in downtown Santa Rosa. The Art House also has a sister down the street called Hotel E, and that's SWEET too! Find Ray at the fancy vintage bar and slide up for one of his fancier and delicious cocktails, wine, or a cold beer. read more

Pros: Big comfortable bed and location Cons: Noise. We were put next to a room with a shared door/wall. We could hear everything through the wall. To top it off, our hotel alarm randomly went off at 6 am. The alarm was cheap/junky and we couldn't figure out how to turn it off and we're unable to take out the batteries. Bad sleep experience. read more

While I love the location and the suite layout, the customer service continues to suck. We stayed there 2 nights last week. And this is probably the 6th or 7th stay and although they send me emails they have no acknowledgement of being a loyal customer. I use a walker because I have a muscular dystrophy. I fell in the elevator on the bottom floor. I was in pain and while my partner was accessing props to help get me off the floor, a hotel employee Michelle, came to the elevator looked at me writhing in pain on the elevator floor and asked for my room number because she had to write an incident report. I could not talk -- I'm literally moaning on the floor -- and she just walked away. Thankfully my partner got a wheelchair and I was able to hoist myself on and we went to our room. I used ice and didn't need any medical care. But, this hotel is either run by robots or the most soulless humans I've ever met. They did call our room later with the incident report questions. No concern about my wellbeing was an issue...only liability concerns. Karma baby...karma. How long will this Art House last? read more

Wish I remembered to take pictures! But the pictures on here already are accurate. I stayed in a suite, very similar just bigger (includes full kitchen, separate bedroom, and living room) it even has a washer/dryer! I love that the studio was set up like an apartment (everything provided- full fridge, stove, microwave, dishes, etc. The unit even had a doorbell). Room darkening curtains in both the bedroom and living room! I feel some people ask for a little too much- yes, the place may be plain right now but they just opened! People need to understand either way, with covid so much is delayed- they're several backorders and delays going on right now. The lack of decor doesn't make this place depressing. I know it's going to look even more lovely once they're done but I have no problem staying again prior to the decor being finished! Excellent staff 10/10! read more

Great stay at this hotel...the abundance of pillows on the bed was amazing! Would definitely stay here again.

Very noisy we are overlooking the alley I can hear the noise from people opening the garage it's an automatic voice loud also the tv in the room next door I can hear everything talking the tv all of it there is no fridge no microwave very ugly rooms very cold and sterile totally disappointed. Way overpriced for such a cold sterile room. Why oh why do these builders make these hotels so cheap??!! read more

I am writing this review to warn folks to make sure they understand exactly what they are being charged. BEWARE!! The pros: the hotel is very nice, clean. They were nice enough to upgrade me to a suite because the standard room did not have a refrigerator. The room was lovely and decently priced. Conveniently located within walking distance of many restaurants. Neighborhood was decent. The cons: Management, Tony Pace, the general manager specifically. I called on the way from Mendocino to book the room. I was quoted , including the pet fee (which was $50) for a total of $200.94. When I got there and they kindly upgraded us, I was told that parking in the building would be an additional $15.00. At that point when I was given the key, I wasn't offered a receipt (my bad for not asking). I was asked to sign a pet agreement which I did. When I received the bill, it was $50.00 higher than what I was told. I contacted Mr. Pace and he said the clerk neglected to tell me that the cost I was quoted did not include the pet fee, which was BLANTANTLY false. Both my partner and I heard her tell us it included the pet fee. I responded to him and told him that was not the case. He never responded to me, apologized or tried to make it right. Poor customer service. I am not going to get hyped up about the additional fee only about how poorly the manager of this establishment handled the situation. read more

We wanted this hotel to be great -- we paid more to support an independent, and its new so we wanted to give it our business. Unfortunately I don't think we'll be back. Pros: it's well decorated with contemporary stylings and a very comfortable bed. Front desk staff was kind and helpful. Cons: VERY thin walls -- we had to be moved bc the door connecting our room to the room next to it was paper thin and we heard our neighbors talking and it felt like they were inside our room with us. New room seemed like it had elephants walking in the room above it and/or moving furniture until about 1am. Our room also had a window facing the street, and a lot of road sounds came through because of that as well. I travel a lot and have never heard this kind of volume of noise in a hotel. Parking is not included ($15), and there's no breakfast. read more

The staff was welcoming and so helpful. The room we stayed at was so spacious. It was bigger than most studio apartments. Will definitely come back and stay here again. read more

I would not recommend staying here. The customer service is terrible. They are not helpful, and do not seem to care about the customer. The hotel is not worth staying at for the prices they charge. I will not be staying here again. read more

Super great location. Short walk to great restaurants and shops. Very clean and spacious rooms. The fifth star is for the exceptional service I received from Daisy who checked me in. She was super helpful, kind and had great restaurant recommendations. Next time I'm in Santa Rosa I will stay here again. read more

Crashed here for a night on the way back home. The town of Santa Rosa is great overall. Tons of places for food and drinks. This hotel was in a great location and we were able to walk everywhere. The parking garage was convenient and the hotel itself was very clean & welcoming. We would definitely stay here again read more

Great experience Right when I entered the building we were welcomed by Daisy. She was very friendly and helpful. The room looked new, and was very clean. The bed was super comfy. Overall it was a great experience. read more

Nice and clean. The sign in the bathroom says to throw towels on floor if you want a clean one. When we came back to the hotel after being out all day we saw the towel was still there and the bed wasn't made. Called down to find out that they don't clean your room unless you ask for it. The sign should have said THAT because they will never see the towel on the floor since they don't come to the room. Which of course explains why the creamers for my coffee were not replaced since how could they replace them if they don't come to the room. A new low in "room service" read more

We stayed at the Art House over the holiday weekend. It is brand new! I think we were the first to stay in our room, we were upgraded and accommodated with an early check in. We brought our 3 month old baby with us and it was so spacious for our family. Felt like we were in a small apartment with a mini kitchen and balcony. The staff was very friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome. The hotel was conveniently located/ walking distance to restaurants/ shopping, bars and more. I highly recommend the Art House. read more

LOCATION...LOCATION...LOCATION! Let me start by saying that this hotel completely went above and beyond my expectations! At first glance it looks like an apartment/ condo building. Only open a month, this is why I believe the decor was a little sparse. No worries...The comfort totally made up for it! DAISY alone warrants giving this hotel a five-star rating! She is one of the kindest people that I have ever met. Not only did she upgrade us to an Apartment Suite( full kitchen and balcony) but every time we encountered her she asked if we needed anything(including calling less than 30 minutes after arriving in our room)! The room was very spacious, the bed was very comfortable, they have their own parking for $15(not 50!), my husband was able to watch his football game on a nice TV, and the major plus is that you can't beat the location! My husband and I walked across the street to "3 Disciples Brewery", a block over to "Flagship Taproom", over to "La Rosa Taqueria"(DELICIOUS DINNER), then to "Belly Left Coast Kitchen and Taproom", dessert at "Noble Folk Ice Cream & Pie Bar" and finished at "Beer Baron"! Enjoyed every location! I mean...I did also have great company! **Note** Was this the Fairmont??....NO... were you able to sit on the balcony and have an incredible view??...NO....but we were there for one night and it provided everything that we needed. We are thinking of coming back with our adult children and getting adjoining rooms! read more

Do not stay at this hotel if you have any sound issues. They built this property with absolutely no sound insulation. I was awoken at 5am by very heavy footsteps above me that went on for 2 hours. During this time, I could actually hear someone's iphone alarm go off in a room nearby. It's a lovely designed hotel, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable, but if you want a relaxing weekend and something quite - this is not the place. On top of all of this, I could hear the staff talking and laughing very noisily and very early in the morning. The garage parking situation left a lot to be desired. Small garage, in which they charge you $18. You have to check in, get the keycard, get out of your car to open the garage. I arrived back at the hotel late only to find one tiny space left next to cleaning equipment and ended up damaging my car trying to squeeze in. Oh, and no refrigerator in the rooms. This is not a cheap hotel. I would have expected more. read more
