What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 320 guest reviews
The Astro earns consistently strong praise for its warm, attentive staff, spotless rooms, and distinctive mid-century retro aesthetic that guests find charming rather than gimmicky. Its walkable location near parks and downtown Santa Rosa is a recurring highlight, and the complimentary breakfast — particularly the homemade granola — is well-received, though a handful of guests found it too basic. Minor recurring drawbacks include noisy fridges and AC units, limited evening parking, and a few small maintenance niggles, but these rarely overshadow an otherwise positive experience.
