About the Property
Holiday Inn Express Santa Rosa North is an IHG hotel on Cleveland Avenue in north Santa Rosa, beside Highway 101 and about 10 minutes from Sonoma County Airport.
Breakfast is included, and there is a seasonal outdoor pool. Dogs are allowed in some rooms for a fee, so ask for a pet-friendly room when you book.
It is also an easy place to start a wine tour. Stonemason Cellars, Carol Shelton Wines and Paradise Ridge Winery 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 7 miles, 10 minutes. The closest airport to Holiday Inn Express Santa Rosa North, 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 69 miles, 1 hour 35 minutes. Often a quieter airport than SFO.
San Francisco International (SFO): about 69 miles, 1 hour 45 minutes, and longer at busy times. The most flights, with a drive across the Bay Area.
Sacramento (SMF): about 101 miles, 2 hours 20 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.
