North Bay Inn Santa Rosa

We’ve stayed in a few budget motels while criss-crossing California on a long road trip - and this was easily the worst of them. We don’t mind basic but we can’t handle outright filthy and this place had us wondering whether we could sleep in the bed. The sheets were stained, there was a clump of dark hair on one of the pillows and my partner even said she was going to sleep on her beach towel to avoid touching the bed! Eventually I asked for a change of sheets, we remade the (uncomfortable) bed and slept uneasily. The free breakfast is a sugary packaged pastry (don’t bother). The manager was friendly (which gets it from 1 to 2 stars) but I recommend you avoid.

Ok stay... The room was clean, although the floor was not. I stayed 2 nights and the keycard had to be re-programmed for second day. Bed was not very comfortable and the metal base was loud when you get up or accidently kick it while sitting on bed. Room has been upgraded, but like other motels, the faucet didn't fit the sink.

Always clean and quiet
