The Sandman

“Good experience!”

Enjoyable experience! Clean comfortable rooms. Nice fire pits and hot tub. Advertised a pool bar and yoga on Saturday/Sunday but neither of those things happened for me which was a bummer. Not a walkable area so a bit challenging without a car.

“You decide…..”

Hi gang, We decided to hole up for the night in Santa Rosa and chose the Sandman Hotel. Located near freeways and restaurants it looked promising. We checked in ~1 pm and they were nice enuff to give us our room. We had a ground floor unit in the first of three buildings. Upon entering our room we were blasted a very strong smell either from heavy sanitation cleaners or possibly mold in the A/C system. The thermostat was set @ 68 when we got there, I raised it to 78 ASAP to be rid of the chemical tsunami we were facing. Opened the door for 10 mins and combined with the bathroom fan made it somewhat tolerable. Front desk was business-like, not real welcoming. If that room had been vacant for 24+ hrs prior tor arrival with that A/C blasting away with suspicious air quality, it had nowhere to go except to concentrate. The room itself was neat and tidy, nice towels and comfy bed. We slept with the thermostat @ 76 deg all night but the A/C unit was’t very quiet. No freeway or outside noises could be heard at all. Upon checkin there is a sign that states “A $200 deposit will be charged to your stay for ‘incidentals’ “. In English it means if you steal items from the room or trash the place they’ve got some collateral. Excuse me, do I look like low-life trash to you ? Only upon inspection of the room AFTER you leave they will “gladly” cancel the withheld deposit….uh, thanks for that. There’s also a notice that states if you buy a $10 breakfast pass from the Office you’ll get a (ham or bacon or sausage) breakfast w/ eggs, hash browns and toast at the Huckleberry’s Restaurant in the hotel parking lot area. The facility resembles a Motel 6 or Super 8 at best, it ain’t a Marriott friends……but it might be a consideration. I just hope the room odors we endured weren’t from a moldy A/C system. $141/ nite plus extra taxes = ~$161 per night. Rich

“An ok Stay”

My daughter and I were on a girls trip. We were going to Occidental for the event, but I wanted to stay somewhere that I could meet college friends easily as well. Found the Sandman and originally booked because we generally like boutique hotels! When I booked back in March of 2024, breakfast was included. Get to the hotel and find out that it no longer is. Guests have to purchase a $10 per person, per morning voucher for breakfast. I know it is extra effort, but it would have been courteous of the hotel to notify guests that booked prior to it being canceled. We also tried to enjoy the pool and hot tub but it was packed. We were able to get in and tried to relax a bit in the hot tub. Kids were in there shooting each other with water guns! I know the hotel has no control over what parents do, but some of the things happening at the pool just seemed very unsafe. The rooms were nice, but definitely not what was paid.

“Not ideal if you Value Sleep”

We stayed at the Sandman one night due to lack of availability at The Flamingo. It’s basically a cleaned up Motel 6. The pros: cute decor, CLEAN, friendly staff. Cons: LOUD- neighbors pounding on door (next door?) from 1:30 am-4 am, LOUD air conditioning system (ended up turning it off), LOUD r… lisää

We stayed at the Sandman one night due to lack of availability at The Flamingo. It’s basically a cleaned up Motel 6. The pros: cute decor, CLEAN, friendly staff. Cons: LOUD- neighbors pounding on door (next door?) from 1:30 am-4 am, LOUD air conditioning system (ended up turning it off), LOUD refrigerator (ended up turning if off), no phone in room, crowded pool area without enough chairs for the guests, terrible coffee in room, etc. Unfortunately, I paid $200 for a TERRIBLE night’s sleep. I would NOT stay there again.
