The banquet room was nice, table set very nicely. Flamingo Resort & Spa, Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country, Courtyard by Marriott Santa Rosa, The Sandman, Best Western Garden Inn, Best Western Plus Wine. We were there for a banquet, a group of maybe 55 to 60 people. I presume there is some kind of a workout room but I was too exhausted to work out anyway. There is a beautiful swimming pool, but it’s not heated because it’s winter, the only hot tub I saw was so full of people no one else could have fit in it. Adding insult to injury the flamingo added a resort fee of $29 per person, even though the website mentions a $29 fee plus taxes and everything else that goes along with it, but didn’t disclose that it’s per person. I couldn’t wait to get out of there so I could go home and get some sleep. It began again around 7 AM when people began to leave and all the extreme noise began again. This noise lasted till just about 4:30 in the morning. The noise of the doors opening and slamming shut, people talking loudly, Then the additional noise when they arrived at their room and opened and closed their doors and chatted as they were waiting to get into the room. Welcome to the Flamingo Resort & Spa the iconic resort in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country in California. We did not know that until the awful noise started after we went to bed. However, this room was next to an outside entrance. if that was all we could have just chalked it up to experience. After one shower curtain was completely soaking wet. The shower curtain was very strange, as it had a cloth curtain with no lining. The bathroom was adequate although there was not a stopper in the sink, so we had to place a washcloth in the bottom of the sink so as not to lose anything in the event we drop something. That is the only place there was any kind of covering on the cement. Going past A wall of sorts into the room we saw that there were extremely thin area rugs underneath the beds. When we open the door going into our room, I thought we must be in the wrong place. Our room number was 406 and we arrived approximately 5 PM December 4, 2021. The check-in was smooth and fairly quick. Stayed at the flamingo because of a group holiday party event. We enjoyed our stay and were happy with the hotel, staff and price for our room. They clearly make an effort to reduce waste by having dispensers (very cute, with flamingos on them) in the bathroom and a pitcher and wanter machine for getting water. Also, the hotel does not give each room a bunch of single use plastic bottles of shampoo, lotion, water, etc. The menu had a nice array of local favorites plus some items that will make you feel like you are on a tropical vacation :) Our room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was also served out there, and overall we were very happy with the menu options. It was great to find a hotel that is clean, recently updated and stylishly designed, and has a great pool and restaurant -at a reasonable price! Just sitting in the outdoor area of the restaurant with our own little fire pit, enjoying drinks and looking out at the pool made it the relaxing trip that we wanted. My husband and I stayed at the Flamingo for a relaxing getaway (we have two small children!).
