10/10! My hubby and I booked a night for a "stay-cation" . This place is a hidden gem! Right on the river. Our room had a two person soaking tub with a fireplace, a very large shower and comfortable bed. Happy hour was amazing! Charcuterie board for each room with wine or champagne which you could enjoy around the fireplace or take to your room. In the morning we were greeted with a tray of fresh hot coffee, cream and sugar. Followed by a beautiful breakfast we had ordered the night before, which could be enjoyed in a sunroom on the river, the main dining room or delivered to your room. Briana and Jen were amazing hosts, kind, professional and accommodating. We will be coming back!

Breakfast is delicious  Staff is lovely  Rooms are comfortable  No complaints! 5 stars

Rooms comfortable and large Breakfast delicious Staff lovely 5 stars - thanks for a great stay!

This is a beautiful, quaint, bed and breakfast close to shopping and great dining. Happy hour in the evenings affords you the opportunity to meet new people, learn about the area, and experience wine country. Don't forget to meet "Mia", the 'owner' of the Inn...she's a darling yellow Lab that will capture your heart the minute you meet her.

River Belle Inn hosted our entire family (16 in total) for our grandson's wedding in glorious style! Beginning with beautifully decorated, comfortable rooms with exceptional views, to delicious pizza on the patio for a "happiest hour" with an array of local wines, and a perfectly prepared breakfast of your choice in one of 5 different dining locations. The grounds are gorgeous, the environment completely relaxing, and the staff absolutely gracious and attentive. A charming downtown is just a 10-15 minute walk....but be sure to make dinner reservations! We will absolutely visit The River Belle Inn again! Two thumbs up to Kathy and Mitzi for making our stay that much more special - Oh and Mia too (woof!)!!

This place is simply fabulous!! The preserved original house is in immaculate condition from the seating areas downstairs to the rooms themselves. We had suites 6 and 9 both of which have beautiful views of the Russian River. The owners are extraordinarily friendly and make guests feel welcome the minute you enter the door. That the breakfast was also excellent is just an added plus. The house is a short walk from downtown Healdsburg so you have the benefit of being right there but removed from the modest disruption of being on Main Street where the main hotel is located. Could not ask for a nicer, more relaxing place for a weekend getaway.

How we were welcomed

Another Epic weekend at this most excellent Bed & Breakfast. Lovely Victorian property with a modern twist. Tom and Mitzi are just the consummate hosts. They made our 50th Anniversary weekend a memorable time for us. Covid stuff observed but not strident - Just a great place to recharge! Try it out. - You will love it

Looking towards Russian River from the upstairs River View suite.

Really a special place, in a historic building from the 1800s. The host was extremely welcoming and…read morefriendly throughout. And t the food was really excellent. The chef is very creative and original. We shared a few appetizers, the tuna crudo was very different and very delicious but they're homemade pasta was quite inventive and really outstanding. Our dinner entrees were excellent we had the pork and the halibut entree but truthfully the dessert that we finished with was out of this world quite excellent. The name of that dessert was simply a strawberry and rhubarb dessert and the name didn't do it justice because it was very different very special very delicious we probably could have eaten that for the entire night because it was so good.. unexpected. Definitely would recommend coming to this beautiful spot

We've come to The Madrona so many times, and time and time again, the experience has been nothing…read moreshort of wonderful. Chef Phi is easily one of our favorites in all of Sonoma. The man can truly cook. We've tried a variety of his dishes, and each one shows such intention, from the flavor profiles to the textures; and everything is always beautifully presented. It never misses. His congee is absolutely to die for, and those thinly sliced pork pieces with crisped skin and tender, juicy meat are a standout every single time. Check out that pic of burger he made for us for burger week! You can really taste the quality, especially knowing he uses fresh vegetables straight from the garden on the property. That is farm-to-table at its finest. On one of our visits, we stayed in a suite above the restaurant, which made the whole experience even more special. It was so nice to head upstairs after dinner and fully relax in our own space. Our room was stocked with thoughtful treats upon arrival, and we had access to the most beautiful private gym. The pool area is stunning, and we loved riding the bikes they provide to explore the property. I would absolutely stay here again. Everywhere you go, there's curated art to enjoy, which adds such a unique and elevated touch. They also host special events throughout the year. We especially love their summer movie nights, lounging on the lawn with fresh popcorn, wine, and Red Vines is such a vibe. All in all, our experience started with the restaurant and kept us coming back for more. It's made even more special by the team, who consistently make us feel so welcomed every time we visit. Thank you for always spoiling us, Chef. We are so grateful for you. Your talent and skill truly shine, and The Madrona is lucky to have you. See you again soon!

SCW and I stayed at the Lodge at Healdsburg while we were in the area wine tasting. When we arrived…read morewe were warmly greeted at the bar area which also serves as the check in desk which was unique. The friendly employee told us a bit about the hotel as we were checked in and we got our keys. Our room was facing the interior courtyard as most of the rooms here are. We had a gas fireplace in the room which would come in handy during the cooler times of the year. We also had a little balcony which was great. I thought it might be a little noisy during the day or at night with people in the courtyard down below but it really wasn't an issue. The room had a nice clean bathroom with a fairly large shower. Double sinks as well which is always nice. The bed was comfortable, however when we checked in there was a large tear in one of the bed sheets. I called down to get it replaced, unfortunately housekeeping had already gone home. The front desk person offered to change the sheets for us, but we did that ourselves. The hotel has some wine tasting nights, though I'm not really sure how consistent they are. We didn't partake, but it may be available. They do have self service laundry available at the sister hotel which is right across the parking lot. The detergent is sold in a vending machine near the laundry room. There is lots of parking (you need a tag displayed in your car) and you can access the rooms either by stairs or elevator. Just a little ways down from the hotel you'll find a great trail that goes into town along a little stream which I really enjoyed. I enjoyed our stay at The Lodge and would recommend it. It's in a great location with lots to do around town.

So my review is very focused on one employee specifically named Elliot. I am not sure if he's a…read morefriend, relative or one of the owners. But he definitely doesn't bring the brand any good recognition on service or professionalism. My stay: I am a minority but don't look at myself that way but obviously Elliot did. He seemed to be a West County Boy (west Sonoma County) lacquered in something other than kindness. He intentionally denied my checkin as a Diamond Member and never acknowledged me as such. I know the line in Hilton: " Thank You For being a Diamond Member....". Fast forward to 5 pm. Elliot still not letting me check in. I'm waiting in the lobby being super quiet and obviously aware of his tactics. Another person, female, comes by and ask me if the could help. I say yes I'm trying to check in. She says "Yes there are other rooms available would you like to check in". Of course I quickly take her offer and check in. I ask the housekeeping, where do you get ice? She says the front desk. I go back and guess who is there? Yup Elliot He says "OH yeah I will get you ice " . He goes around the front desk so I cannot see him. I hear him grunt out a big loogie as he cleared his throat rummaging with the ice scooper. Well at that point, I drive to the store to buy my own ice. True story The other thing which was also very odd about this Tapestry Hilton were the holes in the towels. As ai waiting in the pool area, several other guests called to complain about holes in all the towels at the pool. Later once I entered my room, I noticed the same thing. All of the bath large towels had holes. Odd... And the phish is walking way far away from West County Elliot.....

I did feel there was perhaps a bit too much focus on tomatoes (although it's probably because I don't like tomatoes lol) but even the tomato dishes were good! The first course was especially impressive with all the greenery and so many delicious bites. Service was solid (everyone seemed to know our name!) although I felt they didn't truly go above and beyond for the price point. Still, no complaints there. The only thing that we didn't like were the desserts. The majority of the desserts were just okay, none were incredible, and one of the desserts I couldn't take more than a tiny bite of (I hate goat cheese and the entire dessert was very overpowering goat cheese). Also, how I wish they gifted us a menu so we could put it on our fridge! Instead you have to buy a menu.

Our dining experience at SingleThread on September 6, 2026, was seriously disappointing. For…read morecontext, our party of four had dined at The French Laundry two days earlier, which may have heightened our expectations. That dinner was exceptional and showed us what truly outstanding hospitality can feel like. By comparison, our experience at SingleThread fell far short of the standard we expected from a restaurant of this caliber. The issues began as soon as we arrived. Despite several emails exchanged beforehand and repeated references to personalizing the experience, the staff initially got my name wrong. We were then directed to look through a small kitchen window without any explanation, context, or narrative about what we were seeing. After a few minutes, a small tea drink was served through the window, but we were then left standing in a cramped entry area for roughly 20 minutes with no meaningful interaction from the three people at the desk. During that time, we watched other parties arrive and be escorted elsewhere while no one checked in with us or explained the delay. Eventually, someone from the dining room asked whether we would like to be seated. By that point, I was already frustrated. Once seated, our server quickly described several small dishes arranged on a flower-and-moss-covered faux log, then left before we had any meaningful sense of the menu, the number of courses, or the direction of the meal. When the sommelier arrived and asked us to choose wine or pairings, I felt unable to make an informed decision because I did not know what food was coming. I ultimately chose the wine pairing simply because it seemed like the safest option given the lack of information. The service throughout the evening did not reflect what I would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. There was little storytelling, little hospitality, and very little sense that the experience was being guided with care. A server attempted to clear my plate while my fork and knife were still in my hands. Another server bumped a member of our party with a plate. Most concerning, the staff appeared to lose track of a guest's allergy and served me her plate instead. To be clear, we caught the mistake; the staff did not. That kind of lapse is difficult to overlook. We also consistently had difficulty hearing the descriptions of the dishes as they were presented, which further diminished the sense of connection to the meal. At a restaurant centered so heavily on the progression, story, and precision of each course, that lack of clear communication mattered. The food itself showed creativity, skill, and technique. There were several good courses, a few that felt unusual or less successful, and a couple of truly strong dishes, including the best duck I have had to date. Unfortunately, it was difficult to fully appreciate the food because the service failures were so distracting and so far below expectations. The one clear positive of the evening was the sommelier. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in discussing each pairing and in making recommendations to other members of our party. His service stood apart from the rest of the experience. We will not return. For us, the evening did not feel personal, polished, or worthy of the reputation attached to it. It felt like highly engineered cuisine paired with service that did not meet fine-dining standards. We left The French Laundry two nights earlier talking about every detail with admiration. We left SingleThread frustrated and deeply disappointed.

Lovely BnB! We stayed in the Lucy Suite which was spacious…read moreand comfortable. I loved the little sitting area / front entry to the Lucy suite that had 2 comfy chairs and a little coffee/tea counter within our room. The bed and linens were very soft and comfy. The bathroom was super spacious and even had 2 sinks! Note: robes were provided in the little closet in the bedroom. The Lucy suite even has its own little balcony/patio with stairs to the ground level. The balcony/patio overlooks the parking lot. The only downside to the room is that it is in an older building and like all old buildings... the floor creaks. So, trying to walk around quietly is not going to happen. WiFi worked great for us. We had no issues logging in nor the connectivity. The food is tasty. We enjoyed all the breakfasts, and I especially liked the selection of teas. Coffee was abundant and there was even a tasty OJ! The only downside was the water dispenser ran out of water on our last night/morning. Thankfully, we found some water in the little fridge by the back door. In the afternoon, they leave out a tray of cookies and some wine. If it's busy and you get there late, it's entirely possible that there is none left of either. (Which happened to us on Saturday when we returned at 4:30... no big deal. But wanted to point out that it does happen, so don't get your heart set on there being some when you get there.) The location is Fantastic! You are like 2 blocks from The Main Plaza. You are 1 block from a fantastic Bubble Bar if you like sparkling wines and champagnes. You are 1 block from a 3-star Michelin restaurant - Single Thread. There are 3 coffee shops that are nearby. And if you forgot something... the CVS is like 2 blocks away. The point being... it is super close to everything that you don't need your car. We parked ours for 3 days in the little parking lot behind the inn and didn't move it until we departed on Sunday. Bonus: if you are a wine club member of any of Wilson Artisan family wines, you get a discount off your stay.

Plus carry luggage. Also a Hugh tub that you could hardly step over the rim to get into. Found out they have other rooms, no stairs and walk in showers (next time). The room was quite lovely and we both slept soundly. Bathroom was fine except the tub situation. Homemade cookies and wine in the afternoon. The breakfast was fantastic. Good coffee, plus my raw sugar, tea, yogurt with nuts and berries. Also homemade strawberry muffins. We had a panini with ham, cheese and egg on a delicious toasted bread, cantaloupe slices and potatoes. You can walk to so many restaurants and shops. They also are affiliated with some tasting rooms, so you get two for one tasting.
