    WHY WE WENT HERE: - overnight stay - booked through Expedia THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - no onsite parking; street parking (easily found on 1st St W around the corner of W Spain St towards the neighborhood and away from the Square) THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - historic - charming - cozy - quaint - 3-story walk-up (no elevators; not kid friendly or handicap accessible) OTHER NOTES: - no Wi-Fi

    Wood doors :)

    Please ignore these ridiculous 1-star reviews, If you need your ass kissed by the front desk, this may not be for you, but if you love cleanliness, easy booking, and consistency, this is your place. Stay anywhere near the Sonoma plaza, and you'll see that this Hotel has EXCELLENT VALUE and CHARM. It can be scorching hot in Sonoma; this place has the best air conditioning, Ice cold; my partner never wanted to leave, lol. A group of us stayed for a wedding party, and everything worked fantastically. However, several of us stayed in different hotels around Sonoma and viewed each other's rooms. Most of the other 4-5 star hotels around the square had grime around the sinks, the air conditioners were sub-par, and it didn't smell as clean as Sonoma Hotel. Some of the wedding party checked out and came over to the Sonoma Hotel!! The one great perk of staying here; the sheets are immaculate and smell clean but not too perfumy. The bathrooms are spotless; the towels are fresh. We always notice someone is cleaning the hotel. It does have carpet, and they are always cleaning it, but bring your flip-flops if you don't like carpet. Complimentary bottled water is always available near the front desk at all hours of the night. Internet worked great, and it's free. We also love it's close to everything, book ahead. I'm was reluctant to write this review because it's my secret getaway

    If you want to immerse yourself in the town of Sonoma, totally disconnect from technology, and have a modest dosage of last century living, Sonoma Hotel is a great lodging choice for you and family. The hotel is conveniently located in the town center and has easy access to fine dining and boutique shopping areas. The hotel has so many delightful architectural and decorative details that magically transform each person stepping into this space to an era prior to internet, or smart phones. From the wash basin in the room, decorative objects in the hallways, to the wooden windows facing the town streets, all of which invites guests to explore and to experience. Since we visited during the holidays, the decorated Christmas tree, garlands, and the fireplace added so much charm to the place. Our teen daughter enjoyed the stay, particularly with the twin sofa bed in the cozy loft. It afforded her privacy and quietness to read a book or look out of the window people watching, just to share several details of the stay. There is street parking for the overnight guests. Each room has a set of keys to access vs. a swipe in front of a card reader. Guests must make sure to drop off their room keys in the front desk when checking out. The wi-fi passcode provided did not work during our stay. It didn't bother us since we planned to totally disconnect.

    Looking stylish of course

You are welcomed with a small bottle of their local wine (Banshee Pinot Noir) and a personal note to kick off your stay. We appreciate the little details that make our stay enjoyable and special. If you score a ground floor room, the bathroom has heated floors. The water pressure, to note, is excellent. We also really enjoy the wood-burning fireplace for the ambiance and for the cold winter nights. A m e n i t i e s: There is a spa, gym, heated pool, restaurant (Layla), EV-charging, etc. Grounds are well kept. You can find a fire pit and water filling stations throughout the property. FYI - for the dog owners, there is no dog relief area on property. We went around the holidays and had a wonderful time with the festive events and activities offered. We thoroughly enjoyed the s'mores + hot toddy night and the hand-painted ornament workshop. We may need to return again during the holidays. And if you manage to get out to explore, downtown Sonoma is just about a 15-min walk away.

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 also allowed for us to get some rest away from the heat with our little one. The staff is super accommodating. Before we were checked in, I asked if they had a lactation room (nope) or just somewhere I could plug into to pump, and they opened an unoccupied room so I could pump comfortably. That is enough for me to want to come back again. With both Marriott Elite and having booked this via Chase travel, we had several benefits including afternoon cocktails ($20 per person), $60 breakfast credit, and $100 hotel credit. Next time I'll be booking two nights so I can get my $250 credit!

The lobby is welcoming with drinks (coffee, lemonade) and snacks (cookies, apples). There's a free Pac-Man in the hallway, an Art gallery, and a small market with ice cream, soft drinks, and misc accessories. Wit & wisdom is open for dinner and Benicia for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (See separate reviews). The patio by the pool has free Pringles there's a beverage truck with wine and beer. They do wine tastings a few afternoons between 430 and 530 but the pours were minuscule. The room itself was spacious (I think we got upgraded since it was midweek). There was an outdoor sitting area including a big bath tub. There's a nice spa on grounds. You can't easily walk to square but they have a free shuttle in a nice VW van. Coming back we waited less than 10 mins. If you're coming to Sonoma, you should defn consider staying here.

    When it comes to value and location, I don't think this hotel can be beat. 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.

Unfortunately, this stay was remarkably disappointing. Our room had an enormous carpet stain. Both TVs repeatedly froze on "Accessing" and reset to the Chromecast screen despite staff trying to fix them. Our in-room dining arrived with soggy fries and brown avocado. Restaurant service was consistently slow, including at Santé, where our waiter disappeared and I eventually had to go looking for someone just to get our check. Our six-year-old was excited about the kids' lounge, but the advertised PlayStation was broken. The restroom across the hall had a toilet full of sewage. We also had parking problems twice. We were told self-parking was $29, but the machine tried to charge us $50 the first time and $53 the second. The front desk later told us we should have received a parking QR code at check-in, but no one had given us one. Finally, a $20 DoorDash delivery disappeared after being delivered to the hotel. No one brought it to our room or contacted us, and the hotel could not locate it the following day. Front-desk lines were substantial virtually every time we needed assistance. A manager did waive our resort fee, which we appreciated. But given the sheer number of problems, that didn't feel proportionate to the experience. We actually considered leaving, but this was my wife's 40th birthday weekend and we had planned the trip around staying here, so we tried to make the best of it. Based on our previous Fairmont stays, we expected considerably better.
