Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying its prime location in the heart of Sonoma town square and the exceptional service provided. The room was cozy, albeit with a tiny bathroom, but the superb service and ideal location made up for it. The dining experience was delightful, offering delicious options to start the day. However, the noise from the nearby recycling facility could be a minor drawback.
The hotel offers a cozy stay with comfortable rooms and a lovely view of the hills and sunsets, though the bathrooms are a bit tight. The service is super friendly and accommodating, making for a delightful experience. The central location is ideal for exploring Sonoma, though there might be issues with privacy and temperature control. The dining experience is excellent, but timing could be an inconvenience. Overall, a value-for-money choice with some minor drawbacks.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were not big but very comfortable and clean, making my stay beautiful. The only downside was the noise; however, I would definitely consider staying here again and request a quieter room.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and recently renovated with a vaulted ceiling, balcony, tile flooring, a pristine bathroom, and incredibly cozy bedding. However, being located by the intersection made it a bit noisy, especially with trucks accelerating. The service was outstanding, with the staff being extremely knowledgeable about the area and going above and beyond to assist. The location was ideal, right in the center of Sonoma, perfect for exploring tasting rooms and restaurants. Unfortunately, the downside was the noise from a nearby garbage truck. The dining experience was pleasant, especially in the delightful courtyard, but could have been improved by including breakfast. Overall, a great value for the money.
