We were forced to vacate our house for a few days because of skunks! I picked The Astro because I'd heard good things about them, I like the neighborhood, and I know they Donate gift certificates to local events. They were great! Although on Santa Rosa Avenue, our room was very quiet. Our dog loved it as it is right across the street from a nice park. The room, while a bit smallish, was super clean read more

We've stayed at Astro twice now and really love the artistic vibe. The paintings and outdoor sculptures add a creative touch throughout the property. It's peaceful, surrounded by fruit trees, and there's a beautiful park within walking distance right across the street. Great customer service and it is conveniently located close to downtown Santa Rosa and many other businesses. read more

Amazing hotel!! Rooms and property are beautiful, clean and well maintained. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Staff goes above and beyond to make guests feel seen and comfortable. The only reason for 4 stars is they advertise included breakfast, but breakfast is just granola, yogurt and fruit. Even though breakfast is very limited, the granola is a special treat from Spinster Sisters, and was delicious and hearty. Definitely don't skip on this one!! read more

Nice motel with nice employees and an excellent continental breakfast.They have excellent gronola from their sister restaurant Place was comfy read more

This was my favorite hotel experience of my entire trip, and I recommend staying here if you're staying in Santa Rosa! The Astro is a newly remodeled and modern motel, with a distinctly retro space theme. The rooms are on two levels in multiple buildings around a courtyard that's landscaped and has a fire pit for weekend hangouts. Check in was a breeze and the attendant was super welcoming. The complex has a lounge and meal area, a cool local artwork vending machine is outside near the ice machines. The rooms had eclectic furniture with all modern fixtures including the bathroom and sink area. They also have a huge wine fridge, which is a necessity if exploring the wineries in this area. The hotel was very quiet, even more so being next to a beautiful park. It's walking distance from downtown, the river pathways, gardens, historical sites, breweries, and restaurants. Room rates are fair for the area. read more

The Astro is out of this world! My husband & I recently stayed here for 2 nights as our home base for exploring Sonoma County and the Sonoma Coast for his birthday before heading further north to go ziplining. What they've done to this property over the past several years is something quite special and otherworldly! Sorry, the puns keep coming to me lol! ;) It's giving "The Jetsons" mixed with an urban, artsy & maybe even a little hipster vibe...pretty unique if you ask me! Not only is their location convenient and walking distance to many cafes, restaurants and downtown Santa Rosa, but it's also situated directly across the street from a lovely neighborhood park called Juilliard Park that we loved taking a walk through in the morning or early evening. Love biking/cycling? They have Shinola bikes available to rent, or if you bring your own bikes, they have a storage facility and even an on-site bike repair station! We're definitely going to take advantage of that the next time we stay here (which will be soon - we actually just booked another stay here!). The breakfast provided for guests was unexpected and awesome! Being vegan/plant-based, there were several things we couldn't partake in like the yogurt, pastries/donuts, etc, but we loved the fresh fruit, coffee, tea, and the Spinster Sisters Granola (incredible!). The breakfast is served in their guest lounge, which in itself is another cool little place for guests to chill & hang out. They've got board games, vintage furniture & decor, and even music! Room details: comfy bed, great rain shower head (!), clean (except for a big dirt spot or stain on the top sheet which we just avoided), unique mid-century decor & furniture (there are no 2 rooms exactly alike), good-sized mini fridge to store some food with a few optional drinks and snacks for purchase, and nice view of the central garden and courtyard area. Speaking of which has fire pits, Cornhole games, fruit trees and various plants, local art sculptures, and lots of places to sit and relax. The gentleman who was working in the office the morning we checked out (6/24/24) was incredibly friendly and kind (thank you and sorry I forgot your name!). We truly were over the moon and had a stellar stay at The Astro! read more

This Motel is nothing short of amazing. We loved the vintage MCM furniture in the room. We loved the feel of being immersed in a time capsule of motels of days gone by. We loved the friendly staff. We loved the coffee and granola in the morning lounge. The Astro is a must stay if you're nostalgic for a time that doesn't exist anymore, but that also brings it up to 21st century standards. Great place! read more

The Astro - Hotels Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

We frequently stay at the Astro when we visit Santa Rosa. It is our motel of choice as our room s are always clean and inviting. Our most recent stay was March 20-22. Betty and Matt are outstanding with their friendliness and doing whatever is possible to make our stay relaxing and comfortable. The breakfast granola and yogurt and coffee are outstanding as well. We really appreciate this place and highly recommend it to other travelers to Santa Rosa, CA. read more

I booked one night at The Astro through booking.com the night before my trip and got a great rate. ($128 total) I arrived early in the day and was trying to pass some time but it was a hot one so I called to ask if I could check in a bit early (an hour early). I spoke to Bob and he said no problem. Come on over. Bob is the best! Very charming and made me feel welcome. He also walked me to my room to showed me around. I love mid-century style so the decor and design was totally up my alley. My room (#217) was super clean and I was very impressed. I was able to fill up my water bottle in the lounge and the next morning I also grabbed breakfast there as well. I had coffee, yogurt (Clover!) and a donut. They also had some fresh fruit. I was very happy with my stay and would totally stay again. read more

Really great to really bad. First the really bad. Received checkout pdf. Opening it I found my bill increased by $16.35. I also noticed a "donation " which looking back to my booking email was on the original reservation but didn't notice. Called the hotel and asked why my bill went up and after checking - they couldn't tell me why. The "donation" to SRUAP was only $7.41. But I expect to be asked if I want to donate and told what organization I'm donating too - not just find it on my bill. Still don't know what SRUAP is. Both were refunded to my credit card. I emailed the manager about another issue and in my second email asked about the billing. I've given the manager several days to address this and the manager hasn't respond to that email. So were these charges an error or do they increase everyone's bill to make extra and reimburse if caught? If they fill 5 rooms a night = 35 rooms a week and overcharge each $10.00 = 350.00 week or 1,400 a month. $16,800 a year. Adds up nicely. My other issue is the lounge microwave they advertise. During my stay they gave it to another customer for a day. Long story short there was another micro in another locked building I had to track someone down to use. When the micro was being returned to the lounge I asked to have it in my room. I was told no. So I asked why the other customer could have it in their room and I couldn't as I paid full price for my room. The gal in the office just looked at me. Because - there is no answer. If you read through negative reviews you will find a common theme of personnel problems. My first email to the manager was about the microwave issue. Instead of offering a rebate on my stay she offered a 20% on my next stay. I emailed she should make it right by rebating my last stay, the stay that went wrong. She never emailed me back. The good. The remodel on the hotel, rooms, lounge and grounds are excellent. Somewhat a drawback the parking lot is very small and I wouldn't have wanted to park in the area around the hotel. The outside lighting is very bright. The windows only have wood shutters. I could make out the detail on the artwork on the wall with the interior lights off. If you're interested in retro hotels I recommend The Orbit in Palm Springs CA $$$ or The Foothills $$ in Auburn CA. Both have stellar employees. read more

Great little artsy place to stay. Wonderful art sculpture garden. Great staff. Very friendly. Bent over backwards for us. The rooms are so cute...like staying with the Jetsons. It's a little out of the way, but very affordable. A great place to stay. read more

Lovely hip 50s motel, remodeled with exceptional flair with a beautiful courtyard sculpture garden. Great central neighborhood allowed my wife and I a morning walk through Juilliard Park and the Luther Burbank gardens, just across the street. Included breakfast was not the usual cheap danishes but fresh-baked delights from a neighborhood bakery, along with artisan granola and great berries. (Coffee wasn't my favorite. I never say this, but I found it brewed a hair too strong. Literally my only grouse.) Parking is just a bit awkward, but the price was more than fair for Wine Country and we were just pleased as could be with our stay. read more

I love an artsy motel with a story! The mid century deco and vintage furniture are a nice touch. Stay was very comfortable. Friendly staff. Loved the breakfast setup of yogurt, yummy granola, fruit, coffee & tea provided. Onsite parking included that felt safe. Great merch for sale in the lobby! Walkable food nearby and short drive to the downtown area, museum, spas and vineyards. Comfy Casper bed!!! read more

Stayed here for a night while visiting Santa Rosa, pleasantly surprised about the cuteness of the hotel and interior furniture. Mid century modern style (so millennial, yeah). For the note, if you like any item in your room/outside, you can order them from their website. It was quite a decent hotel with many closeby attractions. I'd consider here again if I visit Santa Rosa. read more

Great easy stay, me and my son came up on the SMART train for a one night stay and the front desk went over the top to get us in our room early and even brought our bags in and had the travel crib set up for him so he could take a quick nap before we explored Santa Rosa. The hotel itself was freshly renovated with a fun aesthetic, the breakfast was great (very good coffee) and the location was right across from a wonderful park. read more

My experience was stellar, from the start when I made the reservation to when we left - top notch customer service, communication and accomodation. They really did an amazing job with renovations, the only suggestion I have is to add more storage shelves in the kitchen and bathrooms, you have to get creative with where to put things, it would be lovely if a few simple shelves were added. We LOVED the vibe, the room, everyone that works there - Evelyn, Bob are who I remember but everyone we encountered were so accommodating, helpful and kind. The grounds are beautiful (with fruit bearing trees you are welcome to sample) and we just loved the parks next door. Top notch! Thank you for making our stay what we had hoped, memorable! We def felt welcomed and will be back! read more

I stayed at the Astro the weekend because I was in town for the Santa Rosa marathon. I only stayed one night, but it was a pleasant stay. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, letting me book a late check out without a hassle. The parking lots were very tight, but I was able to find a spot in the overflow lot. The motel itself was very cute and I the bed was so comfortable! The courtyard was lovely and had so much character. They also had this cool vending machine with all kinds of funky stuff in it. The breakfast pastries were amazing in the morning on Saturday morning, I wish I could eat it all over again! It was a little pricey for what it is, but I can't wait to come back again! read more

Loved the citrus-filled courtyard, the welcoming lounge, the secure bike parking, and the funky vending machine. Staff were especially welcoming. Location is really close to the train. Wish we had planned to stay longer so we could have explored a little more. Will definitely return! read more

Original: had a really disappointing experience here with an employee, who was extremely unprofessional and wouldn't budge to make it a good experience for us despite being given every chance. The management team also failed to adequately respond after the fact Response: Your organization already had several chances to get this right and failed them all. Your public feigned concern is not in line with the complete absence of any response to the detailed, respectful, and thoughtful email I sent to the management team a few days after the event that received not even the consideration of a generic reply. read more

I had a lovely stay at The Astro but I would give you a heads up on two things: 1. the room has a cold cement floor. be sure to have slippers or sleep socks. 2. the parking lot is a tough one. I smacked my own car (thought I had the room but I didn't so not anyone's fault but my own.). Be prepared for a tight fit. The location was perfect because I was there for the dog show at the fairgrounds. I do wish there was coffee set ups in the room rather than the pricey nuts and water, only because I had to get moving quick each day I was there. I would stay again! read more

I was in town for one night for a memorial service. Super cute hotel. Super helpful/friendly staff. I enjoyed my stay.

This is one of those 60s era motels that garnered a bad reputation over the years and then was bought and renovated in 2017 into what could now be safely called a boutique motel. It still sits in a transitional neighborhood, but it's heading in the gentrification direction. There are two floors, somewhere around 30 rooms, and each one of them is decorated differently. They all follow an artsy motif though, with lots of little cool bits thrown in for good measure. From the moment I checked in, with Elsa in the front office, I knew I was in for a very different experience. The L-shaped motel cradles an outdoor garden and sitting area for motel guests. There are two different parking lots, both are small and if the motel was completely full, I'm not sure where everybody would park, the street? Definitely not an easy spot to park an RV or big truck. Once you slide the key card and step in to the room you are greeted by more funky/cool art stuff, a very comfortable bed, nice big shower and even a mini bar! Although, as mini bars, go, this is no big deal, just a couple of cans of generic beer, and some cartons of water. Obviously not as cheap as a motel 6, but in such a different league than your average motel. A nice alternative to those generic chain motels. The room also had microwave/fridge for you DIYers. The bed was a fluffy dream and the bathroom shower had TWO shower heads, one overhead and one on the wall that you can move around. It's a rare motel that offers that kind of a shower experience, just give it several minutes for the hot water to make it to your room. Like I said before, not really in a walking neighborhood, but only a couple minutes drive to just about anything you might need while on the road. For those of you looking for a little something different, and with an eye for pop art, this might just be your new favorite spot. read more

We had a great stay at The Astro. What a gem this place is. The room is spacious and very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The shower had a huge rain shower head. No there isn't a microwave but there is one just downstairs in the lounge and there is a small fridge. The air conditioner works well too! The staff is so friendly and helpful from the time I made the reservation until the time we left. They are dog friendly too and there is a beautiful park right across the street. We will definitely stay here again!! read more

We stayed for one night and my only disappointment was not staying longer! This little hotel was so unique. I loved the decor and the lounge was awesome but the gift shop vending machine omg so cool!! I would totally recommend this little gem! read more

I like the concept. Take an old motor lodge from 1963, strip it clean, install new wallpaper, windows, fixtures, appliances, and add new furniture and art, but with a retro feel. No need for carpeting; just refinish the cement floors. Turn the former central parking area into a nice garden/courtyard. Call it an "urban motel" and charge higher (but not outrageous) prices. But "ruh-roh", there were just too many issues for me at The Astro: -- Lobby was dark/closed at my my arrival (about 6 pm). I had to call a phone number, then wait for someone to show up. -- No coffee in the room. And no coffee served downstairs until 8 a.m. This is a major fail with me. A full star off for that alone. -- Multiple things in the room didn't work, including a few lights. The mini-fridge would not get cold enough (A good thing I had a small cooler and could get ice here). -- Speaking of temp issues, the water wouldn't get hot enough (perhaps I should call it the "Tepid Motel") -- It wasn't possible to black-out the windows very much, so I was up earlier than desired (see coffee issue above) It's too bad, because the Astro was a cute place in an excellent location; it was next to a nice park and was also a short walking distance to many downtown pubs & restaurants (including a certain brewery). I also did enjoy the kitschy vibe here. Tough to rate, especially since the place sorta grew on me over my two-night stay. But based on total price, and broken promises, it gets an "OK" read more

Amazing gem of a hotel! The rooms are so unique and comfortable. The breakfast is all local and that appears to be the theme. They have so many fruit trees on the property too, took all my will to not take one of the gorgeous lemons growing on the tree. read more

My friends and I chose this motel to crash after a nearby wedding we all attended. The rooms are modern and decorated with style. Coffee and breakfast snacks were included, and it's conveniently nearby the highway. The courtyard is also neatly kept. Felt safe, however I had to park on the street since the parking lot was full. My only complaint is about how thin the walls are. Room service started to clean the room next to us at 10am - and I really didn't want to wake up to the sound of a vacuum cleaner on a Sunday. With that said, if I can hear a vacuum cleaner next door, thank goodness we had a quiet neighbor, because I am sure we could have heard "other types" of activities too .... Managment / owner should look into improving sound proofing the rooms. read more

I was so scared of coming here at first because it's a "motel" but omg it exceeded our expectations! It's so beautiful and modern. It's such a short walking distance from downtown. We went to Santa Rosa for a Brewery so we just walked there. It's across the street from a beautiful park and a garden. The rooms were clean and the bed was so comfortable. I would stay here again. I'd also like to thank the check-in girl, I forgot her name. But she was so friendly and walked us around the motel to show us our room. Thank you for a great stay!!! read more

Great spot! Friendly staff. Walking to plenty of amenities. Old school motel revamped. Don't expect the Ritz, but we love it!

Found this adorable motel on TripAdvisor. Retro motel tastefully reimagined with The Jetsons in mind. Rooms are really cool with nostalgia around and wood slabs for headboard. The beds are extremely comfortable and the pillows comfortable, very cute bathroom but small with the sink outside the bathroom door. TV was a little hard to figure out but who needs to watch tv? Plenty of things to do in the area and a nice walk to downtown to shop and bar hop. Great motel and the check in was easy and the clerk friendly and informative. Highly recommend. read more

I can't praise this little gem enough! What a stellar remodeling it has gone through! From the moment we checked in, we knew we made the right choice the staff is friendly and made excellent recommendations for dinner and breakfast . We stayed in room 113 and as soon as we opened the door we were WOWED, what a chic place and clean and modern. Loved every thing they have done outside and the sculpture garden. We will come back and request to be in a different room, just so we can experience the different decorations. read more

It was a bit of a struggle to get the room door to open with the key, but I would still rate this a 5 star because person working there who checked us in/out was super friendly. They provided easy to understand instructions for parking and had a cute outside sitting area. They are walking distance to several restaurants, the movie theater, and mall. We were in town for a marathon and it was a great location to stay. read more

Over priced motel with concrete floors. Nicely decorated with retro designs but way to expensive for what you get. So many signs telling you that the artifacts in the room need to be preserved, I felt like I was in a museum not a place to lay my head. They offer a granola continental breakfast but nothing to write home about. I would not stay here again. I can find more bang for that buck somewhere else. read more

Second time staying here last month was great. This time we were accompanied by our small dog. When I called to confirm they're dog friendly they informed me they'd price match any third party rate, so I ended up getting our standard queen room for a little less than their own site advertised which is awesome. The neighborhood felt a little cleaner/safer than a few years ago. The park next door is a great spot for a morning walk, and I still highly recommend Dierk's across the street for breakfast. If you're lucky enough to swing through on a Thursday or Friday night be sure to check out the pop-up bar in the Astro's lounge. You don't want to miss some seriously delicious cocktails. Otherwise you're a short walk to downtown with plenty of other options. I think my only gripe is that coffee isn't available in the breakfast lounge until 8am. Oh, and that there's no microwave in the rooms, though there's a communal one in the lounge for guest use. These things will not stop me from coming back for another stay. read more

Stayed for one night. We always stay at The Astro when we visit family. We like the rooms, grounds, and location. We have a dog and it's very dog friendly. There are good restaurants and the Red Bird Bakery close by. Juilliard park is across the Street. It looked safe. Room is fine even with a concrete floor. There was a nice heater. Bed was ok, li fine. There's a cool lounge area with vintage audio equipment. Continental breakfast was coffee,tea, apples, and yogurt. The coffee was weak for my taste. The yogurt kept body and soul together until we could make it to the nice bakery around the corner. We accidentally scooped up the popcorn/nuts/caramel bags on the counter. They charged us $12 each and they were stale. We don't suggest those, actually strongly advise not eating the food in the room. There are a couple of cool areas to sit with nice sculptures. We'll go back but not eat the food in the room. read more
