Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was great, with convenient access to good restaurants, but the lack of an elevator made carrying luggage upstairs a challenge. The historic charm of the hotel was lovely, but the room size was small and had a view of the restaurant's kitchen. Despite these downsides, the room was clean and nicely decorated.
This hotel served well as a home base for a decent night's sleep and shower. The proximity to Sonoma Plaza was amazing, offering easy access to shops, restaurants, and a park. However, the room size and noise levels were not ideal, though it did have a cozy warmth to it.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but being located above the kitchen of a restaurant, I did experience some noise. The service was excellent, with attentive housekeeping. The location was ideal, right in the heart of Sonoma Plaza, although there were occasional disturbances from the nearby outdoor dining area. The dining options were simple but satisfying with pastries, OJ, and coffee. Overall, a great value for the money.
