Motel di Healdsburg

Was in town for a wedding and apparently everyone was getting married the same weekend bc almost every hotel was sold out or was charging top dollars. There were room blocks at designated hotels for our wedding, but $500 was the minimum, so I took it upon myself to search for my own hotel and came upon the Fairview Inn & Suites. At best, it looked decent, but I knew I just needed to stay one night so I figured it would be bearable. I was actually very pleasantly surprised. There are some minor cons, but definitely nothing detrimental to our stay. Brianna helped us upon arrival. She was awesome and allowed us to check in early since our room was ready and thank gawd bc we had a wedding at 3:30pm and I needed a place to freshen up. Check-in was smooth and seamless. They also offer complimentary water which normally would prob cost you $5 at any other hotel. The room was decent-good. I mean you get what you pay for. I personally found it fine as we only stayed one night and really just needed a place to sleep. Would I do a girl’s trip here, prob not, but it’s fine if you’re staying 1-2 nights and don’t plan to be in the room much, as we did. The room has pretty much everything you would need less, an iron and safe. There was an ironing board in our room, but I didn’t see an iron, which I suspect can be ordered with housecleaning. The bed and pillows are comfy and linens clean. Btw, they only offer cleaning if you stay more than four days, which is fine with us bc we don’t really care for cleaning anyway. Parking was easy and free; this is a plus as most hotels have a fee for parking. We never went downtown but I believe it’s walkable as one of the restaurants I’ve been to before is just a half mile walk. Some minor cons…..the AC is LOUD. The fan in the bathroom is even louder. Walls are pretty thin, and we could hear people talking but thankfully they were not sold out so I don’t think we had neighbors above us, just next to us. Overall, I would recommend this hotel if you have no other options. Healdsburg is just really hard bc sometimes you can get a nice hotel at a decent price, then other times, there is nothing available and you’re going to pay an arm and a leg for a 3-star.
