The front desk staff was very helpful and polite. Sadly, they do not wear name tags so I can't give them the proper attention they deserve. The rooms are very comfortable but small. We will defiantly visit the hotel again, it was lovely and the amenities are great. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Check in was friendly and easy, parking is free!!, restaurant is fabulous, and the room was very comfortable. Great they they have espresso machine, cold water, terrace, modern bathroom. Only complaint is it’s an old building without elevator and my bags were heavy.

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!
