    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 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.

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!

It was in perfect condition and so clean. The amenities were great! Prior to arrival, I arranged for them to provide a shower chair for my husband, who is ill. It was in the shower when we arrived. The bed was comfy, and the gas fireplace was a nice touch. We had a small patio and a separate porch, which were so nice to sit on for coffee or drinks in the early evening. There was a hot tub, but we didn't get a chance to use it. There were other bungalows, but we didn't see any other guests. It was a gated property. Shopping, the downtown area, and restaurants were all within a quick drive. Good delivery was easy and quick. It has a full kitchen and a good selection of utensils, dishes, and pots and pans. I recommend bringing your own spices if you plan to cook something special. I wanted cumin for a meal, but I could only find a huge jar at the supermarket. Sonoma is beautiful, and we can't wait to come back. Sonoma Bungalows, we'll see you soon!

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!

On top of that, I had a very noisy neighbor with a baby crying throughout the night, which made for a less-than-ideal stay. I was understandably disappointed and shared my concerns with Lynn at the front desk. Lynn was incredibly kind, listened with genuine empathy, and made sure to communicate everything to her manager, Kendall. When I spoke with Kendall the following day, she was already aware of the situation, showed sincere concern, and took immediate action to make things right. That level of attentiveness and care truly stood out. Sometimes things don't go as planned, and issues arise; that's inevitable in hospitality. What matters most is how those situations are handled. Lynn and Kendall exemplify what great customer service should look like: professionalism, compassion and accountability. I will certainly be back on my next visit to enjoy this beautiful property and the outstanding service they provide. Keep shining and continuing to deliver a world-class guest experience.

How about when you first drive up the winding drive, and glimpse the first take of the stunning main building. I arrived at night, so all the ambience from the lighting, the moon, the glimmer off the fountain in the middle of the courtyard. Immediately was struck. Then I walked in to check in at the front desk - and I couldn't have been more welcoming. I had just made the marathon drive from Pasadena, CA, and was just tired, hungry and looking to get to the room and get to dinner. But the warm faces and kind words instantly washed the road away from me (and to be honest, the perfectly chilled glass of local champagne certainly helped that too!). They ensured everything was right with the room and with the stay and so I headed out to pick up the puppy from the car and settle up to the room. And then... there is the story of the puppy. Out of all the hotels and resorts I've stayed in - nothing NOTHING compares to the dog friendly (while still wholly human centric) service at this Fairmont. They made me feel like Chance was as much a guest there as I was. And all that isn't even to mention the concierge, the perfect cocktails from the bartender, the beautiful winding paths that guide you through the campus, the world class spa and massages (note - make SURE you check out the quiet room, nothing like it I've ever seen), the OUTSTANDING breakfast under the trees next to the pool... I just don't have time to list it all here. But the cherry on top - really is the people. They just... they are the magic that infuses everything in the building, everything in the resort, everything in the spa. They were there for me at every turn and at every moment, for every need. This couldn't possibly have been better - and I honestly can't wait to return.

The experience was basically just access to a pool area. There weren't many amenities, activities, or anything that made it feel like a luxury resort day. The setting itself also wasn't particularly impressive, with parts of the pool area feeling like they were right next to utility equipment rather than a relaxing spa environment. I'm a Fairmont member and have stayed at several Fairmont properties, including Banff and Hawaii, so I came in with high expectations. Unfortunately, this experience didn't come close to the level of service or value I've come to expect from the brand. If you're in your 30s looking for a fun, relaxing day trip from San Francisco, I'd skip this. It's not about the cost alone. I don't mind paying for quality, but this just didn't deliver enough to justify the price. A disappointing experience and a missed opportunity for what could have been a great destination.
