Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Yes! We have reserved a block at The Sandman Hotel. It is located 0.3 miles from the venue. We chose this hotel because it is cute, very close, the rooms are all updated, it is pet friendly, and there is a pool and recreation area. It is a 2 minute drive and a 7 minute walk if you decide to walk instead! Here is our booking link: https://www.choicehotels.com/reservations/groups/SF15X8 You can also call at (707)293-2100 and mention the Kelly & Common Wedding. Some other nearby hotels: 0.6 Miles: Best Western Plus Wine Country Inn & Suites 0.7 Miles: Hampton Inn and Suites Santa Rosa Wine Country 0.7 Miles: Extended Stay America Santa Rosa 5.1 Miles: Flamingo Resort & Spa (one of our favorites, but a bit further across town!) Please reach out with any questions or if you need help with accommodations
