Great hotel, very quiet. The pool was very nice, but the food was incredible!

The food was delicious and our children paid for our dinner for their father’s birthday . However we thought we would have a 75.00 food credit which we found out was not available since we booked a different way and not through hotel

The room was very comfortable. Location was great on the square.
There is no lounge or anywhere to hang out apart from the restaurant, which is expensive. I asked for breakfast of porridge in my room, but had to go down to the restaurant to order and pick this up, and it was served in a takeaway box which felt bizarre as the room was just above the restaurant. We also had the Mexican pop up one evening (ran by the hotel) which was delicious, but again had to eat out of takeaway containers on the floor of the hotel room! We didn't know until receiving the food, there'd be no facility to eat this in the building.

Location on the square was great. The first night I ate alone in the dinning room. I realize not having a reservation I would be lucky to get in for dinner. The hostess was able to sit me immediately in the smaller cafe dinning room. I was placed in the corner in a small table. I understand the table location the concern was my waiter ignored me the majority of the night. He talked freely and personably to the three other tables of dinners but barely a word to me. the food was delicious but dinning alone was not a pleasant experience. I felt greatly ignored I complained immediately to the manager after my meal so he could educate his staff on the importance of including single older women in the social ambience of a dinning experience. Very disappointing as the food was delicious
As mentioned above my dinning experience
Also my room has a very loud rattling heater. Difficult to sleep. Kept me up most of the nights.

Location is good with shops, restaurants, historic mission, and park. Staff courteous and helpful. Breakfast was great...excellent service and food was high quality.
The shower didn't have a bath mat nor safety bar. Unsafe.

we paid $400 per night for 4 nights and the air conditioner in our room didn’t work, there was a heat wave. we were given an electric fan, then we were moved to a different room the next day. the new room air conditioner did not work properly either. It was not turning off so we were offered thicker blankets. it was unacceptable for this expensive of a stay. we were not happy.
10.0 / 10.0
Really comfortable beds, heating was working very well, room size was larger than what I expected, snacks available in the room with a price, free coffee and tea at the lobby on arrival and throughout the day. Really good restaurants just steps away from the hotel.
Expensive but this is a nice hotel so in a way can justify the price, given that the other options in the square.

Was the most elegant hotel we have stayed
I’m on our trip to California. very relaxed atmosphere, fabulous food and menu. room was very comfortable and it was clear the hotel had reinvested in updating the hotel so it wasn’t tired like the other places we stayed in. the location is perfect.

The location of the hotel is perfect and overall everything was great. The room was clean (on the smaller side but still plenty of room).
Our only complaint was the room did not cool off easily. We would still stay here again despite this.

Great location on the historic Sonoma Plaza. Walkable to shops, restaurants and wine tasting. Restaurant had good food. staff was friendly and helpful. Espresso in rooms. Coffee in the lobby each morning. Bathrobes provided.
Parking is limited, although we did not have an issue. Rooms are somewhat small. Bathrooms are updated, but the shower might be a hit tight for a taller or larger person. Be aware that many restaurants around Sonoma Plaza close on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday nights. (The hotel restaurant and bar was open.)
