Such a charming and well-located spot! The decor and grounds are lovely, and the simple breakfast (especially the coffee) really hits the spot. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The mattress and pillows were unbelievably comfortable—better than many 5-star hotels I’ve stayed in. Light sleepers may want to bring earplugs, as some noise carries. With a few small updates—like adding a double lock (!), fixing the musty smell, and putting in blackout blinds—this place would be improved. Thanks for a great stay!

The Astro is a modern take on the traditional motel with a green area to relax. The rooms are decorated with fun, bright colors and very comfortable accommodations. The breakfast buffet was stocked with fresh muffins and fruit, which was a nice change from the pancake machine. We enjoyed our stay.

Love this cute little hotel when we're traveling to Santa Rosa for medical visits. Got a textured top sheet that was a bit clingy this time, but the beds are comfortable, bathroom clean, and a nice continental breakfast awaits in the morning!

I didn’t have daily room service, so when I ate all the toom snacks, I didn’t really get the VIP daily allowance and was charged. But I did enjoy the cherries growing in their courtyard. Breakfast across the street highly recommended. Staff was nice. Bed was a queen and we are used to King. I do recommend staying here.

The property with somebody who took a motel, gave it a paint job through a picture on the wall thought it was really a cool mid-century look nothing like the things I’ve encountered in Palm Springs or other places where they put a lot more money into the rooms and the furnishings and the comfort. It just looked like a motel where they ripped out the carpet and tried to make it look something special, but to me it was absolutely underwhelming. If I knew what it was, I would’ve never reserved.
