    Main shared area where breakfast & wine are served

    Cinnamon Bear Inn B & B on Hwy 12 in Sonoma is a great location and great value! We stayed 3 nights in the detached cottage and, while small, it was cute and adequately appointed. The mini-split ac unit worked well, the small fridge/freezer in our room was helpful, smart TV had lots of options, and you could use the great room in the main house or any one of the outdoor areas to enjoy a wine or a light snack. And the shower had plenty of hot water and a decent spray. Breakfast was served by very friendly ladies every morning and varied a little from day to day (eggs, pancakes, toast etc) along with juice, coffee and a small fresh fruit cup. They also offered a glass of wine in the evening from one of the local wineries. We met several of the other guests while enjoying the wine which was very pleasant. The young receptionist was always willing to help with whatever we needed. Is it a night at the Taj Mahal- no. But it is a great value and met our needs perfectly. We will definitely stay again on our next visit to the Sonoma area. Ps: new owners have made great strides on this property!

    This is one amazingly homey and charming place. From the moment you pull up into a parking lot with orange trees giving shade... from the moment you see their lovely patio... from the moment you are greeted at the door by the super-friendly husky Bo... Well, you decide from which moment you're going to fall in love with this place. The owners are super-friendly and gregarious. They host a "social hour" with some wine and simple snacks where you can meet other guests before heading out for your evening plans and they make and serve a lovely home-style breakfast. The rooms are lovely, but not too fancy, but with lovely touches. The jacuzzi in our room (not available in every room) certainly was great for relaxing. There's some street noise, but not too bad. The downstairs hang-out area smells of cinnamon and the owners are always there to help you. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

    Visited Sonoma Valley for the holidays, and we stayed at this cute bed and breakfast for a couple of days and so glad to do so. Sonoma is a small town, and this was not hard to find since it is right off a main road stretching to Santa Rosa. It is also very close to the cute downtown area. Upon arrival at the house, we were greeted and given information about the BnB via an information sheet and a towm map. We walked upstairs to a cozy room with an ensuite for convenience, but if at any point we needed a second bathroom, there was one just across the hall. The room was equipped with a comfortable queen sized bed and a TV for cable as well as a portable air conditioner and heater. The next morning we were greeted upon going downstairs. They already had our tale set up, and we were quickly served coffee, water, orange juice, fresh fruit, and an apple fritter. Delish! Then came a plate of quiche and a potato bake. Super yummy breakfast! For the next morning, we opted for biscuits and gravy and were still served coffee, OJ, fresh fruit, and water. The couple that runs the place is so nice and welcoming. They also have a beautiful dog aged Beau that is such a sweetheart. Excellent customer service and comfy surroundings.

    Comfy bed!

    Cinnamon Bear was the CUTEST bed and breakfast with the most friendly service, delicious breakfast, and close to everything! The rooms are large, quiet and comfy. The jacuzzi was my favorite part, though a good night sleep was a close second! The wine passport they offer you was such a steal, including buy one get one free tastings, or sometimes just tastings completely free! Breakfast in the morning was cozy, and everyone chatted with one another making it feel homey! We only stayed one night, but I definitely could have spent way longer. Highly recommend!

    I wanted to like this place but it turned out to be just a bad stay. Started with us booking one room and getting a different one. When I tried to talk to the owner about it all she could say is that I should have booked through her and not a third party. She is a very nice lady if everything is going well, but if you have an issue she just throws her hands up and is unwilling to help. We were traveling with my mother-in-law who has some major mobility issues. Despite me confirming via email and over the phone that we needed the down stairs room with a roll-away bed and reserving it 4 months prior to our stay, we still got the wrong room and had to help my mother-in-law up and down steep stairs fearing she would fall every time. The Inn is located on a very busy street and it is incredibly loud. It is a very old place and nothing has been upgraded. The beds are incredibly hard and uncomfortable, the widows are broken, and there is just no attention to detail in the cleaning. To top it all off, the one thing that we were looking forward to was the great breakfast...and it had hair in it!

    To be perfectly honest, when you think about a bed-and-breakfast, this is the best possible description of one. I have stayed in a many before that don't hold a candle to the service and hospitality that Karen and Larry bring. Add in the feeling of home by Bo the Husky, rolling over and letting you rub his belly; you really can't ask for much more. Wish we could stay more than one night!

    Star gazing from the back patio

    We stayed here for three nights and it was pleasant. We weren't bothered by the "busy" street which imo is just a normal street with traffic.. our room wasn't street facing so we weren't bothered by street nosies either. Our room had a back door that opened up to the back patio and it was cute for sitting out to enjoy a glass of wine or star gazing. The bed is quiet comfortable and the beddings are sooo soft! I actually enjoyed the location quite a bit - it's a nice 25 mins walk/ 2 mins drive to the town plaza that offers a lot of dining, shopping, wine tasting options. Between the inn and the plaza, there are coffee shops, gas stations and grocery stores (Whole Foods, Safeway, Sonoma market). Breakfast was freshly made everyday and was really nice with a pastry, main dish, and fruits. I especially enjoyed the freshly pickled jalapeños! There's a social hour in the afternoon where wine and snacks are provided. It was nice to get to know the other travelers a bit as well as the owners and BO!. Deducting one star for the room is a bit dated and the hardwood floor is dusty. I also wish there was a communal microwave and water station.

    When we got suddenly evacuated from our home due to the Glass Fire (and good thing, because the fire burned our property!), we didn't know where to go, and with reasonable mid-week rates, this ended up being a good choice! It's true that it's not the most glamorous place in town (and a bit on the outskirts... you can walk to the square, but it's a long walk. Short and easy drive, though!), but it was clean, comfortable, and good bang-for-the-buck. They are taking the proper covid precautions, such as nice spacious outdoor seating for breakfast... and those breakfasts are nice and hearty! They always include protein, which I appreciate (eggs usually, but sometimes also ham or sausage)... the breakfasts were also varied, including omelettes, Belgian waffle, fried potatoes, and eggs Benedict (our favorite) I was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews, but for the weekday prices we paid, this place was quite a pleasant surprise.

    You Must stay here! This is a hidden gem. Right in the heart of wine country. Walking distance from downtown Sonoma. Sonoma and Napa wineries within a 17 min drive. Yountville with its famous restaurants is a 30 min drive. San Francisco is an hour away. BUT, the main reason to stay is the unbelievable hospitality of Karen and Larry! They made us want to just stay and hang out with them. Oh, and afternoon hospitality hour with snacks and wine. Plus Bo....the Best host and best boy! If you are concerned about traffic noise, ask for a room that doesn't face the street. I almost forgot to mention Karen makes the Best from scratch breakfast, using veggies from their garden.

From the get go, the manager and workers were all so friendly and helpful. There were initially some issues with dynamic pricing, but they were able to correct things on the back end, which was much appreciated. The main building and breakfast area are both very warm and inviting. The couches and seats are comfortable. There are games and books in the cabinet areas too. The chef provides a tasty breakfast each day, with the menu slightly changing. There is coffee, tea, and hot/cool water available all day. It can get a little crowded at breakfast, so if you are in a large group, go either very early or very late. The afternoon happy hour is pretty relaxed with some offerings of cheese, crackers, and wine. Be sure to ask for gluten-free options, as they have them available. They also prepared nice chocolates for my parents (anniversary) and a cookie for my nephew (birthday), which was a lovely touch. The rooms are fine, some are a little darker and/more dated, but that didn't bother us. The one thing that I would've done differently, is to bring an eye mask and ear plugs. Depending on where your room is located, you could be facing the main street. The doors in certain buildings would slam pretty loudly, so if you had neighbors returning late at night, you would definitely hear them. I am a little fussy with beds, and I found the Vitners King (seemed more like a Cali King?) bed to be a little firm and transferred movement easily. We would consider splurging for the updated rooms next time. Bonus that they have cruiser bikes to borrow. It was very nice to go for a quick ride one of the mornings. The location is fantastic, it's within walking distance to downtown. There are so many great restaurants to visit. In addition, wineries and parks are also a close drive away. Overall a great place to stay and we really enjoyed our visit, thank you!

It's no surprise that…read morehotels in Sonoma cost a pretty penny, but this one is actually very reasonable when compared to others nearby. It's still not cheap, but comparatively such a good value. The property is very pretty, it's lush with trees, plants, and flowers, making it feel like you're in a quiet garden versus a hotel courtyard. Some of the rooms come with chairs outside the doors, but they also have some benches throughout so it's easy for anyone to enjoy the grounds. The rooms are fairly updated. I stayed here 6 years apart and both times they were clean, comfortable, and didn't feel dated. If anything the showers are a little dated, but it adds some character. A breakfast buffet is included, and while it isn't the most robust breakfast, it is extremely appreciated by someone who needs to eat some carbs before or after a day of wine tastings. We were also very pleased to see gluten free muffins for my friend. The hotel is about a mile from the town center, so it is walkable and I've done it, but it's also a quick drive or fairly inexpensive uber away.

The beds were small & not the most comfy. You can tell the place is old & it didn't have much light in the room and felt almost like witness protection. The WiFi was spotty. The complimentary breakfast wasn't really much of a breakfast. Most of what was offered (bread, quiche, yogurt & cereal) we couldn't eat because of the gluten and diary. The staff was kind for the most part and the place was pretty clean, it was also conveniently located to everywhere we needed to visit but to spend over 300 a night at this inn, you'd expect a bit more, given even holiday inn provides a much better breakfast. Luckily we didn't spend too much time on the property but way too overpriced for what it provides.

How about when you first drive up the winding drive, and glimpse the first take of the stunning main building. I arrived at night, so all the ambience from the lighting, the moon, the glimmer off the fountain in the middle of the courtyard. Immediately was struck. Then I walked in to check in at the front desk - and I couldn't have been more welcoming. I had just made the marathon drive from Pasadena, CA, and was just tired, hungry and looking to get to the room and get to dinner. But the warm faces and kind words instantly washed the road away from me (and to be honest, the perfectly chilled glass of local champagne certainly helped that too!). They ensured everything was right with the room and with the stay and so I headed out to pick up the puppy from the car and settle up to the room. And then... there is the story of the puppy. Out of all the hotels and resorts I've stayed in - nothing NOTHING compares to the dog friendly (while still wholly human centric) service at this Fairmont. They made me feel like Chance was as much a guest there as I was. And all that isn't even to mention the concierge, the perfect cocktails from the bartender, the beautiful winding paths that guide you through the campus, the world class spa and massages (note - make SURE you check out the quiet room, nothing like it I've ever seen), the OUTSTANDING breakfast under the trees next to the pool... I just don't have time to list it all here. But the cherry on top - really is the people. They just... they are the magic that infuses everything in the building, everything in the resort, everything in the spa. They were there for me at every turn and at every moment, for every need. This couldn't possibly have been better - and I honestly can't wait to return.

The experience was basically just access to a pool area. There weren't many amenities, activities, or anything that made it feel like a luxury resort day. The setting itself also wasn't particularly impressive, with parts of the pool area feeling like they were right next to utility equipment rather than a relaxing spa environment. I'm a Fairmont member and have stayed at several Fairmont properties, including Banff and Hawaii, so I came in with high expectations. Unfortunately, this experience didn't come close to the level of service or value I've come to expect from the brand. If you're in your 30s looking for a fun, relaxing day trip from San Francisco, I'd skip this. It's not about the cost alone. I don't mind paying for quality, but this just didn't deliver enough to justify the price. A disappointing experience and a missed opportunity for what could have been a great destination.
