The staff were very helpful and friendly. Property, which we were told was recently renovated, did not meet the same standards. we had a room with cracked tiles in the shower, holes in the wall where the towel racks had been removed and you had to lift the toilet seat to close the bathroom door. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Maybe my expectations were too much for a “historic” hotel in an old gold rush town.

People working there are the best. They are friendly and always provide excellent service. Hotel is old and smelly though. It needs a new carpet, or a good clean up.

Online said that the pool was ready and it being a very hot weekend was the main reason we chose that place AFTER check in we were told that it was in fact not ready and was told that my room was nonrefundable and I had to argue to get refunded due to the amenities they said were available were in fact not.

Feels like a dungeon

Wouldnt recommend this hotel to anyone. Some rooms have no windows. We checked out for a day (though room was paid) and went camping because room was terrible.

We’ve stayed at the Sonora inn a couple of times now. It’s decent and clean, however it’s old and it seems like the owner struggles to keep up with upgrades and maintenance sometimes looks cheap and not properly installed. The potted plants and shrubbery around the property are dead and make it look rundown. They also have a very strict policy that check in is 4pm. You can pay $36 to check in early if a room is available. We arrived at 230pm and we needed a room sooner since we were traveling with a 3 yr old and the weather was warm to hot. I had to pay the $36 for one room and waited for until 4 for the second room. The lady at the desk was helpful as much as she could be but seemed under scrutiny of the GM that was lurking around to make sure the clerk was doing her job correctly. I would recommend the Sonora Inn since the price is right and it’s decent and clean. Just don’t show up before 4pm!
