We only stayed one night, but it was perfect. The rooms, though small, were well-appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—right on the square and within walking distance of everything Sonoma has to offer. We would absolutely stay here again!

Clean, lovely, comfy bed, friendly helpful staff. Conveniently Right on Sonoma square. Had breakfast at Hotel restaurant. Everyone in our party of 9 loved our breakfast. Only negative is no elevator…we were ok, but if anyone cannot manage stairs, they wouldn’t want to stay here. Because it’s a certified historical building, I guess this exempts them from having handicapped accommodations? Otherwise it was an excellent experience and we’d return.

It was perfect (but…)

The room was nicely designed and comfortable, it looked exactly like shown in the pictures but def a bit small but fine for our short stay. The restaurant is AWESOME, you won’t want to eat anywhere else. The only problem was that the walls are super thin. Our room was near the HVAC system so we had a lot of extra noise.

Lovely hotel on the square!

This is a very nice older hotel located right on Sonoma Square. The rooms have been nicely remodeled. Bed was super comfortable and bathroom was quite large. There is a nice restaurant on site. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. Only reason I did not give this gem of a hotel 5 stars was that they have an older HVAC system, and in our room, it was very loud. It kept waking us every time it kicked on. We expressed our dissatisfaction when we were checking out and the very nice person at the front desk explained about the old HVAC and said the hotel will be upgrading it in the near future.
