Room with an outside terrace

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.

Sonoma 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.

Pablo was upbeat and kind when we checked in. They offered early check in and kindly gave us an upgraded room because it was a less busy night. The property is clean, well upgraded and located so close to a lovely park and town square. There is a good dinnerhouse in the building and many other great restaurants within blocks. Fab location w parking Great hotel,!

Location is perfect, right on the plaza and walking distance to dozens of restaurants, bars and shops as well as a beautiful park across the street. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable, shower was very nice. Absolutely loved this hotel, will stay again! The only two items that may be an issue for some are that the room was very small, we had maybe 2 feet on each side of the bed to walk around, and the other is parking. The hotel has a very small parking lot in the back that is a little tricky to get in/out of and there is street parking but it's all limited time parking unless you go 2-3 blocks away.
