    Skylight is the rooms

    Ok we reserved this place after looking at Yelp and Reddit and I don't think there could possibly be a better place. They serve breakfast at your door and it's too notch. They also have some suites with jacuzzis and the woman at the front desk is amazing. Please pick here this is a luxury hotel for regular prices. This is it!

    Really cute place for a short getaway. I stayed in the Mission Suite which is right next to the front office. It's probably the more noisy of the suites but it's a quiet street in general. I like the room since you can access your car from the front patio. I also like the back patio which is pretty private considering how close it's to the neighboring house. The kitchen with breakfast countertop is very useful as well. The inn is super clean and decorated World Market style (I recognized more than a few vases and furnishings from there). I also saw a toddler staying there but am not sure whether that's an exception.

    So going to this place was a surprise for my birthday, so I never looked at the reviews or pictures. But my husband and I were a little disappointed. I don't like tile floors especially because I didn't have slippers or socks to walk around. The shower was very small and I thought if you were a big person you couldn't even fit . My husband said the fireplace didn't work. My husband thought it was more like a bed-and-breakfast where you got maybe a small breakfast with fruit and coffee. They did have very good coffee in the room and they left us pastries which were good. The bed I believe was a Tempur-pedic and I slept pretty well. It was close to the square which was great. Even though it was raining, we didn't care, and we walked around the whole square and then ate and walked back. The TP holder maybe should've been on the other side because my husband kept knocking it. Some of the lights you weren't sure where to turn them on but eventually found them. Then I didn't know they had a charging station at the desk if you flipped this partition open. Maybe just put a little note so I would've known. Great that it had a refrigerator was surprised no TV as most places have TVs these days. We checked in after four and so there was nobody on site. We were greeted in the morning, which was nice. I did an edit to add one more picture. But then all the other pictures were gone of the tub that you could hardly get into and the shower stall. Not sure what happened on yelp.

    Quaint and well appointed rooms and staff is very accommodating.. they allow for early check in if the room is ready.. stayed in the casita and it was so lovely and relaxing. The location is walking distance to the square which is perfect. I would of given a 5 but the bed was a little too firm for me. Definitely my go to place for my Sonoma getaways..

    Massage bed right next to a courtyard with a water fountain.

    My husband surprised me with a birthday massage today! We arrived a little early and were greeted with warm smiles and cold bottled waters. Terry showed us to the beautiful courtyard where we waited in patio chairs, next to a water fountain and lots of shade (thank goodness because our 5-month old was heating up in the stroller). I got the 90-minute wellness massage with Stephanie. We chatted briefly about the areas that I wanted to focus on, as a new mom. She was very courteous and checked in on me throughout the massage. The pressure was perfect and the lavender lemon scent was soothing and calming. I was so very relaxed that I dozed off and on! This was a perfect way to celebrate my birthday! Thanks Stephanie! Will definitely come back again to treat my wonderful husband for a couples' massage!

    We loved this boutique hotel right in the heart of Sonoma. We were in town for a wedding, and loved that this was close to downtown yet still quiet and peaceful. It's walking distance to everything you'd want to see, and we had no issues with parking. The room was beautiful and well maintained, and we loved being able to sit in the courtyard in the evening.

    Didn't want to checkout on Sunday after a great stay at The Cottage Inn & Spa. Everything about this spot is fantastic. The rooms, the aesthetic, the comfortable beds, the 8AM pastries left at your door, the gorgeous showers. I truly could go on and on. Will definitely return next time I'm in Sonoma. Thanks for a lovely stay!

    Had a fantastic stay at The Cottage Inn and Spa in the Arroyo suite. The inn is conveniently located a couple blocks from the plaza, where there are some great restaurants and tasting rooms. The inn itself is also quiet and quaint. The suite was very cozy, relaxing, and well-decorated. It was especially great to have a mini kitchen and private fenced yard! There is no TV, but we knew this in advance and brought a Bluetooth speaker to play some background music. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again! p.s. We also saw a deer at the home next door!

    Slow down here ... Hidden gem B&B and Spa located behind historic Sonoma Mission. Excellent deep tissue massage. Serene, beautiful atmosphere. Treat yourself here after hiking or shopping in the square and before dinner.

    From the architecture and interior design to the simple cute coffee spoons and lanterns provided in the room, we were happy with it all. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to check in early which is always a plus for me. We reserved the East Suite which was nice and cozy. The room didn't have a TV which we ended up appreciating as we were able to really unwind and relax. Love the jacuzzi and the Beekman toiletries!

    In A Nutshell: -The Cottage Inn & Spa is a wonderful place to stay while you visit Sonoma. -After staying at the Fairmont & this location, both of which are very good, I prefer staying here. -The location is excellent b/c it's a 5 minute walk to downtown. -The cottages/suites are all unique, I was able to stay in a cozy one-bedroom, one bath w/ a kitchen, living room w/ fireplace (bummer b/c it wasn't working) & a tiny backyard that leads out to your car space. -You can also book discounted packages like their full-body couples massages and/or wine tasting down the street at Sojourn Cellars (both were awesome experiences). -The customer service is super-nice & they always give you a warm welcoming smile. -The semi-private courtyard was great to look out at while enjoying breakfast or the high-end tea/coffee (which is supplied in the suite). -Speaking of breakfast, at 8am you get a paper bag hung on your front door which has some baked goods (English scone & French croissant). Overall, this is such an awesome, quiet place to stay at for a couple of days while you enjoy Sonoma & the surrounding wine-country. BOOK IT!

    Are there ACs and heaters in every room?

    Yes, we have A/C and heater units in every suite.

    Anyone know if the rooms have a tv and/or DVD player in them too?

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!

So, I'm a bit apprehensive when people tell me they won't be there to let me in - that I can just follow the instructions! Yet, it was as easy as they explained. So, thank you Gayle for answering my repetitive questions! We saw a living social getaway and decided to jump on the opportunity. I' glad we did. The cottages themselves were charming, spacious, and clean. They came with a number of games and books. Even though they don't have anyone on site, getting in and out was really easy. The size of the cottages would actually facilitate a family really well. Unfortunately, we couldn't figure out how to work the tv, but weren't there to watch it anyways, so no worries there. The deal came with a bike rental and percentage off on one item in the store. While in theory it's great to bike around Sonoma, I would note that Napa Street is a pretty major thoroughfare into town (one of those that say the speed limit is 25 but everyone drives 40). It might not have been a big deal had the bikes we got been road bikes instead of mountain bikes and were in better shape! I'd also recommend getting some new locks that don't stick and teaching the staff in front to be a little more helpful. Alas, we did take advantage on the first day to bike around town. Definitely a good way to get around, even if getting back is a bit harry! Overall, a good experience. I'd definitely consider it again on our next trip to Sonoma.
