I am working long days, so I can't comment on construction noise/disruption. The hotel is under protest by a group called Unite Here. I was unaware before my arrival.
Since this is an award stay, I have been trying to get the parking charge waived. Just $10/day, but... The bigger deal was Friday night. Big social event, no parking. Valet was gridlock for almost an hour, until I gave up. Today I am taking off work at 5:30PM and hoping. I should have asked this morning, so it was my "bad" there.
I need to be in Santa Rosa for work five nights in July and this place is nearly $100/night cheaper than the Courtyard next door. So booked despite my misgivings . . . .
