Lovely spot to have a work retreat! The hotel rooms feel like cozy little cottages. Seems like no more than 4 rooms to a building. You are never more than 100 yards maybe from the pool, I had a view of it from my room. That pool (heated) and the gym are great, clean, not too many people (at least on weekdays in February), plenty of equipment. Plus of course there's the hot tub. I measured the length of the pool in Google satellite view and it's about 20 yards so you can get some decent laps in. There are seating areas in and near the lobby; my team had a spot to play board games in the hallway one night. We had a meeting room right off the bar for a small 3-day conference. We had some natural light coming through frosted windows but no direct. There was another room in a separate building with natural light that looked really great, but ours was fine too. All the drinks and food we got were great, as well as the coffee shop! read more

I find myself coming back here for a cozy wine country getaway. MacArthur Place has become my favorite Sonoma retreat for comfort, luxury, and cleanliness. You are always greeted with warm and friendly staff upon check-in (and a nice sparkling beverage). Note: parking is only valet. A c c o m o d a t i o n s: Suites in the Carriage House - the rooms are spacious and clean. 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. read more

Just left our stay there and it was fantastic. One of the best stays ever. The facility is located perfectly, extremely clean and just beautiful. During our stay two of the top guys just happened to come by and see how we were. Marty Sullivan at dinner and Justin Wilson the GM as we were leaving. Clearly they care a great deal about the place, it shows. 100% I endorse a stay here. Nice work team. read more

We went here for anniversary for one night and swanky is what I would describe be this place. Rooms are very well appointed - king sized bed, large bathrooms, conveniently placed lighting, and complimentary snacks. I did not like coffee maker even though it was aesthetically pleasing. The grounds are attractive - a series of townhouse units, tailored greenery. Pool is great - mid 80s water temps, and large noodles to lounge upon. We like the garden hydrotherapy pool in back. There's also a small well appointed gym. Staff is very friendly and will respond to your every need. Also shout out to the restaurant as they serve an excellent omelet and French roast coffee You will pay for privilege though - $500 a night - although it was gifted to us with point . Definitely a 1 percent kinda place / lots of boomers and Gen X couples from Atherton and Blackhawk. You won't see no 3 day Carnival cruise hood rats from Stockton. Would I stay there again - yes if I had the money to spare although we are generally Best Western people if I may be honest -) read more

One of the most beautiful hotels & spa in Sonoma. Great customer service. Baby & kid friendly. Food & drinks are outstanding. Looking forward to visiting again soon. read more

Here to update my review! Stayed here with my family-now we are a family of four-and honestly I feel like the staff really went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. They provided an upgrade, the first night, which I didn't love and they then offered a different room which was perfect for us. They also allowed me to utilize an empty room to take a litigious meeting from as my kids were napping in our room. Really overall better experience! But the allergies still hit us hard! All four of us! It's such a beautiful property and the upgrades they have done make it that much better (the pool area is wayyyy upgraded from before). I would come back for sure! Just gotta see why we keep getting such crazy allergies?! Anyone else? Hahha read more

This place has continued to upgrade its facility and services, from a very pleasant coffee bar to a full health spa. Dining from breakfast to dinner is a tastful experience and the rooms are of good size and well furnished. Only a few blocks from Sonoma Square, the location is perfect. A place to stay, for sue, on your next trip to Sonoma. read more

We had a 3-day meeting here and the grounds are lovely; the only downside is that even with the map it was hard to find my room after checking in. The front desk staff had asked me if I wanted to walk or ride to my room...since I can definitely walk and just had a carry on suitcase I opted to walk. I swear the map is not quite accurate....anyway, I finally found my building , and my room was up a flight of stairs, so if you can't carry your luggage up stairs, be sure to ask for help at the desk. The room was lovely and kind of high tech in a fancy way....there are panels for the lights and I'm not sure what all the settings do...but I did figure out how to turn the lights on and off. There is a floor heater in the bathroom which I didn't know about until a colleague mentioned it and told me it was controlled by the button with the sun on it...they need a manual for these rooms! The bed was super comfortable and the couch was comfortable as well. The shower was amazing and we're all still talking about the fabulous water pressure. There was no desk and chair in my room, so needed to work with my laptop on my lap for some early virtual meetings with folks on the east coast which wasn't optimal, but this isn't meant to be a business hotel I guess. The wifi was fast and handled Zoom nicely. Our meeting room was large and bright, but we had problems with the air conditioning all three days. They couldn't figure it out and finally just started opening doors to other unused rooms as they were much cooler and that helped cool our room. Food for our meetings was excellent. A word of warning, they do put a very large hold on your credit card for incidentals; $1700 for a 3 night stay! Our organization was paying for our rooms, so this was truly just a hold for things we might buy. I'm used to a couple hundred for this purpose. Parking is valet only, but they do bring the cars out quickly. The grounds are nice to walk around and many restaurants are within a mile or so which makes it easy to leave the car and walk around. read more

I think the restaurant must be new. Their service was subpar. The Avocado toast was bread with a sliced avocado and greens on top. No seasonings, olive oil, salad dressing or flavor. The scones were good. We weren't greeted for 15 min no water nothing. Then we were finally served water and waited another 15 min for our mimosas. Finished drinks and waited for waiter to take our order. The atmosphere was great, but that won't be enough for me to go back. FYI THERE WAS ONLY OUR TABLE AND ONE OTHER TABLE read more

4.5 STARS One thing I get hyped for at nice hotels is the bed and doing a bed test...Caleb style (the apartment guy). OFC, without outside clothes and shoes cause that's ick. MacArthur Place passed the bed check and I got the best 6 hour sleep each night that I've gotten in months so that's a win! Established in 1869 as a private estate, vineyard, and ranch, MacArthur Place transformed into a luxury hotel in the late 1990s. A multi-year renovation was completed last year, earning them a place in Travel + Leisure's Top 500 Hotels in the World. On a hunt for dog-friendly accommodations, MacArthur Place was the front runner in my top three choices to stay in wine country. At the time, they were offering 20% off (2 nights or more) which sealed the deal! G R O U N D S The six-acre, 69 room property is located on charming grounds filled with lush greenery, well-manicured lawns with sculptures, lounges areas with fire pits, and various gardens including a chef's garden that provides produce for their onsite restaurants. It's about a 10-minute walk to Sonoma Plaza/Square (or a 3 minute drive) with an array of restaurants and tasting rooms. A C C O M O D A T I O N S I booked the Garden Spa Suite and stayed in Myrtle #41, a modern farmhouse style cottage. - Clip of suite: https://tinyurl.com/33htccmd - Clip of patio: https://tinyurl.com/4msx6k5m (+) Spacious, nicely appointed room with living room/sitting area, king bed, large restroom with double vanity, and patio area with a soaking tub and additional shower. There was a water feature in the patio for calming sounds while taking a hot soak. (+) Bed was firm yet comfy, as were the pillows, soft sheets, and down comforter. (+) Heated bathroom floors. (+) In-room refillable bottled water with various water stations on the property. Complimentary snack basket: chips, jerky, and dried pineapple. (+) Turn-down service includes cooling eye masks for 'em puffy eyes. (+) High-end appliances; i.e. Stagg kettle and Dyson hairdryer. (+) 65 inch TV with access to DirecTV and Chromecast. (+) WiFi was pretty fast and not spotty. (+) Solid sound proofing. Each afternoon/evening, there was a wedding outside and we didn't hear a peep. (+) Since it's a cottage, there were no guests above so yay for no stomping! (+) No funky smells or stenches. I've stayed at some dog-friendly rooms/suites where you can smell cleaning products masking the odor. (-) There were calcium deposits on the shower head and hand hose so shower pressure wasn't strong. (-) There's a mini fridge stocked with soda, beer, and wine (for purchase) but no room to put your own drinks or leftover food. (-) While seated in the vanity chair, you can't access the vanity mirror that's attached to the wall. Not a ding but an observation. $$$$ priced hotels usually provide a personalized welcome note and welcome bottle of wine/bubbly (even if it's not a special occasion) but they don't here. D O G - F R I E N D L I N E S S Pet fee: $150 per stay. $50 extra per dog. Two dogs max. Very dog-friendly. My dog was offered a treat upon arrival (bubbly for the hoomans). There was a pet waste station right outside our cottage. They forgot to provide dog amenities: bed, food bowl, toys, and treats in the room. D I N I N G Complimentary hot and tea available in the mornings, no pastries or breakfast. - Layla: Farm-to-Table Cuisine - The Bar @ MacArthur - Full bar with small bites and burger/sandwiches - The Porch: Tea, coffee, and grab 'n go (yogurt, salad, sandwich) Only got iced tea from The Porch and didn't try any of their dining options. Their restaurants have dog-friendly outdoor seating. S P A / W E L L N E S S - Massages (start at $195) and facials (start at $185) available. - Complimentary yoga classes on weekends at 9 am. - Outdoor relaxation garden with whirlpool and a co-ed steam room complimentary for hotel guests. - Gym overlooks the pool and hot tub area. They're listed on ResortPass for day passes. S E R V I C E Top-notch hospitality with kind, welcoming staff at the front desk, concierge, and valets. They kindly accommodated my request for early check-in. When providing feedback during the contactless check-out process, I mentioned not receiving the dog amenities and they waived the pet fee. Unexpected and much appreciated. P A R K I N G Complimentary valet parking only (prompt retrieval). No self-parking. Bring cash for tip! E-bikes available for use. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at MacArthur Place tho I'm not sure if it was worth $1,100 per night (after 20% off deal). While they bill themselves as a luxury hotel IMO, it's more upscale as it was missing some tiny luxe touches and attention to detail. BUT, the hospitality and customer service were top-notch so rounding up to 5 stars. read more

Stayed here for the first time in April. It's a nice property but we had several hiccups. It started with our arrival when we were being guided to our room and the staff person got lost and had to ask for directions from someone else. We finally got to our cottage and it was nice. I was expecting it to be a little more high end but it was totally fine. We also dined at the restaurant which was just ok. A friend who lives in Sonoma recommended it but hadn't been for a few years. When we dined, the service was lacking and the food was mediocre. I wish we had went somewhere else. Overall during the stay I felt like generally the service was lacking. The folks who work here don't really acknowledge or greet you when you're walking the property, a few times we stopped by the front desk and no one was there, a lot of folks were not very knowledgeable about the property. But the worst part was that the valet parking folks left our car (which was just detailed) under a tree. That tree covered it in pollen. And after we took it to the car wash upon our departure, it was also covered in sap. Two car washes and a professional detail later, we still have many spots on our car that has sap. We now have to take it in for a fourth time to hopefully finally remove the sap. I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews but our stay was very "meh". And to get our car back in that condition was not cool. We won't be coming back. read more

This is a lovely oasis within easy walking distance of Sonoma town center, but we were surprised by a few things lacking that could make the hotel so much better. Signage around the hotel grounds is limited and information in the room is non-existent. There is no coffee machine in the room. Though there is a small snack bar off the lobby with great coffee, it would still be more convenient to have an in-room coffee machine. The kettle in our room didn't work and we had to ask twice to get a new one. Room cleaning was hit or miss. Our used wine glasses were not cleaned or replaced. It was very nice to get a welcome glass of champagne, but the glasses stayed in our room from Saturday to Wednesday. Then they were removed to outside our door where they stayed at least seven hours. The outside shower is interesting, but is a better idea in the tropics and felt a little creepy and less than sparkling clean. We were glad we had a ground floor room and didn't have to go up and down the stairs, but we heard the upstairs resident walking back and forth every morning. The closet has no door, so all the items we hung up were exposed. The closet is shortened by a large cabinet and the safe, thus clothing can't hang down fully. The spa hours are very limited. We couldn't get appointments as late in the day as we would have liked. The manager of the spa was indirect and never explained that this is because the therapists leave in mid-afternoon. There is very little shade around the pool at any time of the day and attendants make no effort to bring over umbrellas or adjust them. read more

We returned to MacArthur Place to celebrate our anniversary, since it's where we stayed during our wedding weekend, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing. Before arriving, I emailed in advance to request early check-in if possible and mentioned we were celebrating a special occasion. At check-in, the front desk staff was curt and unwelcoming -- they simply asked my name, said the room wasn't ready, and offered nothing further. For a property of this caliber, I expected more courtesy. Calling ahead was also frustrating. Every time I phoned, I was routed to reservations (who couldn't transfer me), which meant I had to hang up and call repeatedly until the front desk finally answered. The day of check-in coincided with a wedding, which made navigating the property with a baby and dog difficult. On top of that, the wedding catering was set up right outside our suite, and cleanup went late into the night. It was noisy and certainly not the peaceful experience we hoped for. Though this is not their fault. Most disappointing: despite paying over $1,500 for one of their top suites (booked through Chase with benefits), there was nothing to make the stay feel special -- no note, no amenity, not even a simple acknowledgment of our anniversary. For a hotel that positions itself as luxury, that lack of attention really stood out. Adding to this, the hotel advertises a text service for convenience. I texted ahead to place a room service order so I could time it around feeding my baby -- but never received a response. Clearly the message went through, because the following day they texted me asking for my credit card information (since I had booked with Chase and they didn't have one on file, another mess up). This lack of coordination and training defeats the purpose of the service and added unnecessary stress. To make matters worse, at checkout we were incorrectly charged for breakfast that was supposed to be included. When I questioned it, the staff gave me attitude, even suggesting we had two breakfasts when we only stayed one night. Only after I pushed for a detailed bill did they figure out their error. There wasn't even a basic "How was your stay?" as we checked out. I've stayed at other properties in Sonoma and Napa that deliver much warmer, more thoughtful service at this price point. Sadly, MacArthur Place just isn't at that level. If you want to charge luxury prices, you need to provide a true luxury experience. We won't be returning, which sucks because I always tell my friends how lowly of a hotel it is, but there is no way I can recommend it anymore. read more

We stayed for two nights in May of 2023 in a Garden Shower Suite. Long story short: It's fine but I wouldn't pay full price. CONS: - Flickering lights in bathroom and living room - Super thin floors. Could hear sex, stomping, and water running from upstairs neighbor - Upstairs neighbors water affected our water. Whenever housekeeping was cleaning up there, our toilet kept running. - SO MANY BUGS IN OUR ROOM (WHY) - crane flies, ants, earwigs, mosquitos galore (I GOT BIT UP) - Mattress was terribly slumped and uncomfortable - Shower shampoo didn't work and was empty - In the mornings, there was a smokey burnt smell in our room. Still have no idea where it came from. - There was one single trash bin for our giant room and it was in the bathroom which was behind two doors, lol. Talk about inconvenient. - Gives off a Best Western kind of a vibe since you can hear all the happenings of your neighbor. Hopefully their new construction has made it so their rooms have better sound insulation. MEH: - They have complimentary valet parking but you need your car all the time in Sonoma so it's annoying to have to keep waiting on valet to get your car. I wish they had at least a few self parking options. - Stone cold room service - Questionable outdoor shower. I looked up and could see my neighbors window. Could they see me showering?? Lol. I'll never know. PROS: - Customer service was really good. Very friendly staff - Parking attendant Allax was cool. - Felt very private. Outside grounds were very quiet. - Lots of space - Front porch had seating - Back porch had lots of seating - Refillable water station right outside room read more

Had a lovely 80th birthday experience at Layla. Food, service and ambiance was great!

Wow, where to even begin? We stayed here for my birthday weekend this year and had a wonderful time. Excellent grounds, amenities, and staff. This was a great choice for a birthday celebration - the staff were so gracious and gave us a complimentary bottle of Mumm, waters, snacks, and a handwritten birthday card at check-in. We checked in after two back-to-back wine tastings. Parched, barely able to see straight, and dangerously hangry, I was thankful for their quick and delicious room service. Espresso martinis and French fries were on the nightstand in under twenty minutes, all without needing to leave the bed or pausing Beetlejuice. The perfect birthday. Room service was bomb but the on-site dining options were fantastic as well. We had brunch at Layla and drinks from the bar and really enjoyed both. The hotel itself is gorgeous. Everything on the grounds was beautiful. Historical grounds, but everything is newly remodeled. Amenities galore - nice pool and hot tub, valet parking, and e-bikes to take to town square. The early October weather in Sonoma was perfect for long bike rides. Cozy offerings all around - comfy slippers and robes, plush pillows and duvet, and a Fellow kettle for tea. This place manages to somehow feel ultra luxurious, yet intimate and cozy all at the same time. I had a truly wonderful experience. It's now months later and I'm still dreaming about it. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend! read more

I had the pleasure of staying here at MacArthur Place for the weekend while attending a Ferrari event at the Sonoma Raceway, and it's a spectacular and gorgeous hotel. We were welcomed at check in with a glass of champagne. On the way to our room in 'The Carriage House', we enjoyed seeing many cool art pieces, fountains, flowers, trees, fire pits (that were on and so welcoming), the pretty pool, and more. Our room was charming, spacious, luxurious and had nice perks such as plush bathrobes, snacks, slippers, a porch, coffee, tea, aluminum water bottles, and more. I simply love this hotel! read more

I keep going back because I want to support the community and I loved the old Saddles. I'm referring to the bar/lounge area in this reveiw. The service at Layla's is always horrible, it's too loud and the last time I was there, they ran our credit card before we ever saw the bill and/or approved it. We saw the transaction on our app before the waiter even brought our card back. Manager was pathetic when we spoke to him about it. Want to support the local stuff but this place continues to disappoint. read more

Excellent great experience very clean as well definetly reccomend to friends families

If you are looking for peace this is the place. Everything was amazing. Dogs are welcome here and this made me happy. Suki had her own bed and food bowls. I didn't have to worry about her not being welcome. I even brought her with me for my foot massage, which was amazing. A peppermint foot massage by Kimberly is a must. She was super sweet and actually did wonders for my ankle that I had broke 3 months ago. My ankle was healed but still tight and swollen looking, all puffy. It's not all swollen anymore. The massage was exactly what I needed. The room was so nice and quiet. I got up in the middle of the night and discovered the bathroom floors were heated. We would for sure stay here again. The only disappointment was the restaurant wasn't open the night we were there. read more

We loved our stay overall at MacArthur Place. Greeted with only valet parking and an easy check-in. We were offered complimentary sparkling wine or sparkling water and also upgraded to a suite at check-in (part of Amex Fine Hotel & Resorts). This was our first time on the grounds so we were led to our room closer to the back called "Elm". We stayed on the second floor which I loved. Definite positives: - Our suite was absolutely beautiful. We had complimentary packaged snacks and more little treats of macarons, nuts, and dried fruit prepared for us on arrival. - One of the nicest bathrooms that I've stayed in with double shower heads and SO spacious! Love the modern design and lights. I just wanted to stay in the bathroom forever. - Concierge text line - so useful. They are able to make reservations for you at Layla anytime. Someone even brought us pillows at near midnight with just a text! -Valet is excellent with grabbing your car super quickly - it was always ready for us by the time we got to the front. Some areas of improvement: - It would be nicer if you had a shower control for each of the shower heads rather than just 1 control for both because you always have to turn on both shower heads even if just one person is showering. In this day and age where California water is so precious, it's unfortunate that you can't control each shower head individually! I am surprised. - We asked for firm pillows and wow, they were NOT firm at all!!! Pillows are way too squishy and soft for our asking. - Layla - the only restaurant here. Unfortunately the food was mediocre for the most part and simply not good enough to justify the price. See my separate review for Layla where I go into more detail but bottom line: Layla is probably the reason why we would not return to MacArthur Place which is unfortunate. read more

For over $3,000 for a three-night stay--only discounted because of the wedding block rate--I have to say it's not worth it. The amenities were lacking, several items in our room were broken, and there were noticeable issues with the construction. For a room that typically costs $1,200 to $1,400 per night, I expected a much higher standard. read more

I had one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had at the bar. Thank you Max for the great service and drinks!

Exceptionally beautiful place to stay with wonderful staff, from the valets to check-in to housekeeping. Complimentary champagne or sparking water upon arrival, valet offered to charge my electric car. The grounds are lush, and the rooms are clean, spacious, and luxurious without being pretentious. Nice, easy, flat walk to Sonoma Square and back. The only current drawback is noisy construction in the middle of the property while they renovate the pool area; didn't expect Saturday morning construction, but it did wake me up. Sunday was peaceful, though! Can't wait to return when the renovations are complete. Love this place so much! read more

As much as it pains me to say it, our trip wasn't up to par this time around. Though I love this hotel - There were a lot of staff communication issues that poorly impacted our trip. We checked in Thursday - Sunday and were not told there would be a wedding ceremony right outside our front door, so we were stuck in our room for a good hour and a half. It was awkward! We were also over-charged for our room and are still working on getting a refund. We also notated we were returning to the hotel to celebrate our anniversary staying there the year before and there was no celebration/ card etc. like the year prior. Though these things really don't matter at the end of the day, it makes a big difference with the guest experience. Not sure why there was such a drastic difference in customer service from 2023 to 2024, but just wanted to provide the feedback! read more

A year ago, my husband and I visited MacArthur to scout as a potential wedding venue and fell in love with the crisp white buildings bordered by black accents. The landscaping around the property was truly beautiful. We had a really good impression just from entering the front lobby to meet our wedding representative for our appointment. Ultimately, the wedding lawn was not private/secluded enough from hotel guests for us to move forward with the venue, but I knew I wanted to come back and stay as a guest. And so we ended up booking our stay at MacArthur for our minimoon! I will say after having a rough hotel experience with our last wedding hotel we had come from, MacArthur definitely made up for it in terms of hospitality. The front desk attendant was super polite, and the complimentary valet was nice to have. The man showing us to our room made friendly talk and even the landscapers around the property are kind and greet you. Our room was one of the nicest rooms we ever stayed in and we were just amazed at all the little things they have to add onto your experience. We got s'mores for the firepit, there were macaroons and a sweet card in our room. There were slippers, and a fire log and we were delivered more towels and a eye mask. By far the most impeccable hospitality I have ever experienced. Also we booked a spa day the next day and they had these little custard cookies I just could not get enough of, they were so delicious! I am so glad I finally got to experience a stay here and we have truly enjoyed ourselves. read more

Awesome place! I can't say anything else other than hands down great service and a beautiful location. I was here for my best friends wedding and the maid of honor had a lot of things going on and the employees here made us truly at home and went above and beyond to accommodate everything. Like gals lashes and glue, thank you so much! The rooms are beautiful and so are the grounds. The shower in the suite that goes inside and out is a game changer and invokes beautiful ambience. The snacks in room and the roominess of the bathroom made getting ready pre wedding easy peasy. It rained wedding day and the staff easily made the switch from outside to inside without the the bride and bride even noticing... well you get my drift. They were also very gay friendly which made us all happy. Yay! Great service, good food, nice people, beautiful place. I'd rate it 5 stars yelp! read more

MacArthur Place is a beautiful hotel with a modern farmhouse vibe. The grounds are well-maintained with lots of little nooks and crannies to explore. So why the 3-star review? My primary gripe is that the room we stayed in - which was a king room with an outdoor patio and garden shower - was not what I'd expect for what we paid (about $1000/night). Most problematic, the plumbing was VERY loud, which meant that every time the guests in the room above us flushed their toilet, it made an unpleasant noise that was jarring enough to wake me up throughout the night. The room was also located immediately next to the outdoor restaurant area and a banquet hall where a private event was hosted during our stay. We could hear noise from both at night - in particular, the private event that was held in the evening in the banquet hall. This made for a disappointing experience during what was supposed to be a relaxing weekend retreat. I was also bummed that the pool didn't have dedicated food and beverage servers. Instead, guests have to go into the spa to place orders. After our stay, I got an email from the hotel asking for feedback on our experience. I emailed the hotel to let them know about the noise issues with our room. I never heard back. Why solicit feedback if you're not even going to acknowledge it? I'd probably visit the restaurant and spa in the future, but wouldn't stay overnight again. read more

I had experienced a situation at MacArthur Place that involved handicap parking and a parking valet, that went terribly wrong. The valet was unaware of California handicap parking laws and literally broke one. I wrote a fairly disappointed post about MacArthur Place. I want to give a shout out to Justin Wilson the property manager. He contacted me through Yelp and asked if we could please speak. We did and he could not have been more apologetic for the valet who was taking up the slack from a different position. He assured me that practice would be revised and apologized for anything about the event that had caused me anxiety. He also very generously offered to buy dinner for myself and a friend at their lovely restaurant Layla. I feel this negative event was taken very seriously by the MacArthur Place management and I want to thank Justin for handling the situation personally. I will continue enjoying MacArthur Place and all the wonderful pleasures it has to offer. read more

I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff was more than accommodative and the rooms were perfect, all creating a fantastic weekend. One downside: the high school football field is almost adjacent to the MacArthur Place Hotel. While I expected that there might be noise if a team was playing, I was extremely surprised and disappointed by the loud music being blasted to empty stands from the school's PA system at 10am this morning (Saturday). From my conversations with staff, it seems like this is a recurring issue, as the managers of the high school field seem to be disconnected from the peace of the hotel and neighborhood. . read more

Stayed at the MacArthur Place Hotel for a Sonoma getaway. The hotel grounds are beautiful, though there is some construction going on for their pool renovation. The valets and front desk were friendly and welcoming. The room itself was spacious with nice amenities like snacks and coffee/tea. We enjoyed sitting by the fire pits and eating breakfast at their restaurant, Layla. Only minor issue with the room was that there were some ants, though it wasn't enough to bother us significantly. Overall, conveniently located and a good stay. read more
