Sonoma Hotel

Older structure that is in need of some updating. Older persons may find climbing in and out of clawfoot tub difficult if not dangerous. AC may or may not work in hotter months and double windows might be hard to open or closed. Corner rooms above street corner noisy as are creaking floors

Historic hotel so rooms are smaller. Best location on Sonoma square. Two great restaurants within steps

We had an overall lovely stay at the Sonoma Hotel. You can't do any better than this location for access to things around Sonoma Square. Free parking is plentiful nearby. The place has a very historic charm to it (keys! Actual keys to your room!). And while the rooms are small, you have everything you need. As others have mentioned, the noise is an issue. I'm not sure I would stay on the second floor again, given the opportunity for noise below you and above you. Every step the person above you takes is bothersome because, as others have said, the floors are old and creaky and it's not subtle noise. The doors are very thin, and each floor has a small common area where housekeeping does its thing and where people come and go, all of which can be heard quite clearly. We stayed in Room 27, overlooking the corner of 1st & Spain. That room is also next to the only set of stairs where people access their rooms. We had no issue at all with road noise, but there was a lot of noise from hotel guests. Perhaps the other rooms had better luck, but I doubt it, given that the others would be over the restaurant, which I imagine to be noisy in its own ways. Earplugs and white noise apps were a necessity for sleep here. In short: I WOULD stay here again, but not on the second floor, and maybe not in the rooms that are adjacent to the staircase, given the tools we have to manage the issues of general noise.

Great location, friendly staff and rustic rooms made for a fun stay. Only downside was the walls are somewhat thin so noise from the other rooms (especially the shower) was a bit loud.

This is a lovely vintage hotel in downtown Sonoma. Absolutely beautiful and terrific staff. Highly recommend! People with mobility issues, be advised that there is no elevator and a lot of stairs to the upper rooms.

Convenient location to the town square, restaurants and wineries. A bit noisy as it’s on the corner. Bed mattress needs rotation from head to toe so one’s head is not slanted at a negative grade.

There was no hot water, apparently, the water heater is old and after a few people take a shower there is no hot water for a couple of hours! We did not stay the night and went somewhere with hot water around 8 pm. The front desk told us to leave the water running, and we did so for around 30 mins it did not help and she said there is nothing she can do!

Nice old-school hotel well located on the corner of Sonoma Square. The room was Surprisingly quiet at night given the location. Not modern -- more of a throwback to a prior era of hotels. I kinda liked that.

Very quiet and comfortable. No elevator I saw so had to lift luggage up the stairs but I didn’t find that was difficult. Worth it for the hotel and location.
