I was not expecting to be put in a room with no window to the outside. Also, the amenities in the room were quite spartan. A single bar of soap for both the sink and the shower. Two thin pillows for a double bed. For the price I suppose it’s adequate. But had I known, I would’ve sprung for a better room type.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The rooms are decent. Small, but decent. HVAC for the room is a window heater/air conditioner. It worked well, but noisy. Shower is old fashioned 2 handle to control temp. Because of this it is extremely difficult to take a shower without vacillating between scorching hot and ice cold. If you get it right... wash quick! :-) The I took a star off comfort because the bed covers they use were awful and kept coming off and you end up sleeping on the mattress waterproof cover which looked dirty. Only two pillows per bed. Would like to have seen 4. They own the hotel behind them, so you park in their lot. Sonora Inn has no parking lot itself. Never had any problems parking even on a holiday weekend. Breakfast was ok. They ran out of a lot of what should have been out. The staff is excellent and very friendly!
