Concert-goers love the quick, 10-minute drive to the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, making it easy to catch a show without stressing about long drives or parking. The hotel’s location just off Highway 101 means you can hop in and out of town with ease, and the 24-hour front desk adds peace of mind for late-night returns.

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a free hot breakfast—perfect after a late night out. While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, you’re close to a range of local eateries and takeout spots within a short drive or walk. Craving something late? Nearby fast-casual chains and delivery apps have you covered.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have a bar, you’re minutes from local bars and lounges in downtown Santa Rosa. From wine bars to craft beer spots, there’s something for every taste. After the concert, it’s easy to keep the night going—or head back for a quiet wind-down.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the clean rooms, friendly staff, and great location. Travelers on Booking.com and TripAdvisor love the easy access to concerts and wineries, plus the reliable WiFi and ample free parking. Many also note it’s a solid value for the price.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel’s decor is a bit standard chain-hotel style—not much in the way of unique charm—but it’s clean and functional. Some visitors mention that the breakfast area can get crowded during peak times, especially on weekends. If you're a light sleeper, request a room away from the highway side.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers heading to Santa Rosa, Holiday Inn Express Santa Rosa North offers affordable comfort and unbeatable access to local venues—without the downtown price tag.
