But, let’s face it, that routine is getting a bit passé. Ask yourself this question: Will my Significant Other feel that I’ve put real thoughtfulness into honoring him or her for Valentine’s Day if I, yet again, serve up the clichéd flowers or chocolates? Answer: Probably not. Here’s the solution… 2012-02-02T00:21:35+00:00 http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/comments/one-on-one-with-rose-hotel-gm-phylis-grisham/ http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/one-on-one-with-rose-hotel-gm-phylis-grisham/#When:15:15:25Z This week we feature an interview with Phylis Grisham, general manager of the heralded Rose Hotel. We ask Ms. Grisham about issues such as most frequent customer comments, what keeps her up at night, the key to the hotel’s consistently outstanding customer service, what modern traveler are most particular about, and what she wants every guest (and would-be guest) to know about The Rose Hotel. She even has something to say about Vince Lombardi.

In the case of The Rose Hotel, it’s our geography. We’re blessed by our location on historic downtown Main Street in pastoral Pleasanton, Calif. We never forget just what an irreplaceable asset this is. We’re pleased to direct our guests to the self-guided walking tours and guided audio tours that we have available. These tours open up this marvelous community to you and will steep you in its rich history. Downtown Pleasanton is filled with architectural treasures, ghost stories, underground tunnels, murders, speakeasies and even a brothel or two.

Fortunately, we haven’t had any crime or security problems at the hotel, but that isn’t stopping us from continually ratcheting up our defenses and creating a fortress for our guests. To that end, we have invested in a battery of new technologies designed to create an environment that offers comprehensive security features. These measures include… 2012-01-11T21:00:19+00:00 http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/comments/letters-from-our-guests-vol.-4/ http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/letters-from-our-guests-vol.-4/#When:16:59:34Z It’s time for our recurring feature, Letters from our guests. It is our intent to occasionally share our guest feedback to give you a more intimate portrait of The Rose Hotel. This, we believe, will keep you better in tune with our hotel, our services, and the many valued guests we host. We are gratified by this week’s comments. We think you’ll understand why… 2012-01-04T16:59:34+00:00 http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/comments/some-new-years-resolutions-for-2012/ http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/some-new-years-resolutions-for-2012/#When:18:24:48Z This time of year is a period of deeper contemplation for many people. We are bidding adieu to the year that is all but passed. We are looking ahead with anticipation to the dawning of a New Year and all it promises. And, of course, many of us are making some promises to ourselves that we will accomplish certain things during the New Year. It is with that in mind that, in this final blog post of the year, we share with you the resolutions The Rose Hotel and some of its personnel are making for the New Year. As an organization we are resolving to accomplish five things during 2012. They are… 2011-12-28T18:24:48+00:00 http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/comments/we-wish-you-a-merry-christmas/ http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/we-wish-you-a-merry-christmas/#When:23:08:57Z Christmas is a magical time. People are in a mood to spend, give and, of course, travel. Like every Christmas, we have many holiday travelers at The Rose Hotel, and we’ve prepared to make their experience consistent with the season. Our lobby is fully decorated with a 16-foot Christmas tree aglow in white lights and sweetened with candy canes. Arriving guests are given a complementary glass of champagne, and our lobby bar will fix guests and other visitors holiday drinks, such as… 2011-12-20T23:08:57+00:00 http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/comments/the-rose-hotel-celebrates-landmark-anniversary/ http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/the-rose-hotel-celebrates-landmark-anniversary/#When:00:15:12Z This month The Rose Hotel is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and we think that’s cause for reflection and celebration. We have hosted more than 40,000 guests during the past decade, including luminaries such as Sarah Jessica Parker, MC Hammer, Tony Curtis, Mary Lou Retton, John Madden, and many others. To commemorate our 10th anniversary, each arriving guest is being given… 2011-12-17T00:15:12+00:00 http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/comments/a-new-online-tool-for-collecting-feedback-from-our-guests/ http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/a-new-online-tool-for-collecting-feedback-from-our-guests/#When:23:40:20Z We are constantly looking for new ways to interact with our guests. One of the primary reasons is to glean their feedback, because it allows us to better serve them. The latest effort on this front is a new page on our website titled What Our Guests Are Saying. This new section is filled with the many complimentary and flattering things our guests have to say about their stay with us. We invite you to participate. Here’s how… 2011-12-07T23:40:20+00:00 http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/comments/one-lucky-lady-wins-a-night-on-the-town/ http://www.rosehotel.net/blog/one-lucky-lady-wins-a-night-on-the-town/#When:19:09:14Z We have a winner in our Thanksgiving trivia question and drawing. Two weeks ago we announced a holiday drawing, the winner of which would receive a Night on the Town gift certificate, which entitles the holder to some of the finest luxuries The Rose Hotel has to offer. A thoughtful answer to this question – why do we traditionally eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day? – was provided by the person who won our drawing. That winner is… 2011-12-01T19:09:14+00:00
