About the Property
Best Western Plus Wine Country Inn & Suites is a hotel on Hopper Avenue in north Santa Rosa, just off Highway 101, with standard rooms and suites; some suites have a jetted tub, and rooms have a balcony or patio.
A hot breakfast is included, and there is an outdoor pool, a 24-hour fitness room, a lobby fireplace and free parking. The hotel is listed as pet-friendly.
It is also an easy place to start a wine tour. Carol Shelton Wines, Paradise Ridge and Martinelli are all within about 10 minutes. We are based in Calistoga, in neighboring Napa Valley.
Getting Here From the Airport
Sonoma County Airport (STS): about 6 miles, 10 minutes. The closest airport to Best Western Plus Wine Country Inn & Suites, and the easiest arrival: a small airport in Santa Rosa with no Bay Area traffic on the drive. Direct flights come in from Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas and more.
Oakland (OAK): about 70 miles, 1 hour 35 minutes. Often a quieter airport than SFO.
San Francisco International (SFO): about 71 miles, 1 hour 45 minutes, and longer at busy times. The most flights, with a drive across the Bay Area.
Sacramento (SMF): about 102 miles, 2 hours 25 minutes. Skips Bay Area traffic entirely, though it is the longest drive of the four.
Flying private? We also meet guests at the FBOs at STS and Napa County Airport (APC). See our Sonoma County Airport car service page for more on flying into STS.
