FYI, I deduced that this would be the likely hotel to receive, after looking at the Priceline packages in the Napa and Sonoma County areas for 8/19-21 and 8/18-20. (Packages have to be 2 day stays, and I check both combinations that overlapped with my one day hotel-only plan.) There were four 3* hotels that came up: Sheraton Petaluma, Hilton Santa Rosa, Renaissance Lodge at Sonoma, and Marriott Napa Valley. (FYI, for Napa, the Sheraton and the Marriott came up, while the Hilton and Renaissance came up for Sonoma.) The Courtyard Santa Rosa 2.5* also came up under the Sonoma Search, only 7 bucks less than the Sheraton's package price. The Renaissance and the Courtyard did not show availability when Friday night was included in the search. FWIW, FYI.

Since the Sheraton was the cheapest 3* package, I figured that would be the hotel that hit. It was. Since we were looking for a one-night place rest our head, in comfort, this looked like a nice choice. They have the Sweet Sleeper Bed, which I have not yet experienced. Will post a review after the stay.

FYI, this hotel is not yet reported on the Priceline hotels list here. FWIW.
