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.
