Transportation Information

Airlines: The Hilton Hotel is located in Santa Rosa, approximately 60 miles north of San Francisco on Highway 101. Flights can be booked into San Francisco International Airport (SFO) or Oakland International Airport (OAK). The San Francisco and Oakland Airports accommodate all major rental car agencies.

There is a regional airport in Santa Rosa (STS) that is serviced by United Airlines via the San Francisco International Airport. It is recommended that the Santa Rosa regional airport NOT be used. The Santa Rosa regional airport often experiences delays and cancellations. In addition, you will most likely reach Santa Rosa more quickly if you connect by car or bus from the San Francisco International Airport or the Oakland International Airport. If you do choose to fly into the Santa Rosa airport, you will find rental cars available through Hertz and Avis at the airport.

Bus Service: If you would prefer not to rent a car, bus service is also available. From the Oakland International Airport, take the Sonoma County Airporter to Santa Rosa. Cost is $22 round trip or $15 one-way. The easiest stop is at the Sonoma County Airport, where you can take a taxi to the Hilton (approx. fare is $13). From the San Francisco International Airport, two bus services are available - Sonoma County Airporter and Airport Express. Both leave from the bus islands outside the baggage claim areas. The Airport Express leaves every hour on the hour, and the Sonoma County Airporter leaves every hour on the half-hour (see posted signs). Fares for each are $22 round-trip or $15 one-way. Again, the easiest stop is the Sonoma County Airport, where you can rent a car or take a taxi. The Sonoma County Airporter will call a taxi for you while in route to Santa Rosa, and the taxi will be waiting when you arrive.

Directions from San Francisco: Be in the far right lane when leaving the airport; take Interstate 380 exit and follow to Interstate 280 north to San Francisco. From Interstate 280, take 19th Avenue north past San Francisco State University, through Golden Gate Park, and the Presidio. Remain on 19th Avenue and follow signs to the Golden Gate Bridge and U.S. Highway 101 north. Continue on U.S. Highway 101 north across the Golden Gate Bridge to Santa Rosa (approx. 50 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge). Continue northbound through Santa Rosa on U.S. Highway 101. On the north side of Santa Rosa, take the Redwood Highway/Mendocino Avenue exit and turn right onto Mendocino Avenue. At the next light, make a left onto Fountaingrove Parkway. Turn left onto Round Barn Boulevard (just past the round barn on your left) and again turn left into the Hilton's driveway.

Interstate 580 merges into U.S. Highway 101 northbound in San Rafael. Follow U.S. Highway 101 north to Santa Rosa. Continue northbound through Santa Rosa on U.S. Highway 101. On the north side of Santa Rosa, take the Redwood Highway/Mendocino Avenue exit and turn right onto Mendocino Avenue. At the next light, make a left onto Fountaingrove Parkway.
