"Will not stay ANYWHERE else!  Location, staff, etc…."

"Wonderful breakfast bar. Located near Pacific coast. Very friendly staff."

"Stepping into the hotel felt like stepping back in time. Although the room facilities were old and had a hint of age, it didn't diminish my enjoyment at all. Because it's located by the road, it can be a bit noisy at night, but overall, I could get a good night's sleep. My only disappointment was the service at the front desk. A thin, white woman spoke dismissively and her face clearly showed prejudice against Asians. The hotel was great, and I hope to come back, but I'm also worried about having a similar unpleasant experience…"

"Great stay ,staff very nice"

"Beautiful spot and amazing rooms with a view. Restaurant is great!"

"It was overall a great hotel with a good location. I liked our king sized bed. Room seemed updated and newer. Hotel breakfast was pretty decent as well. Large area to eat at and decent breakfast selection were all great for us."

"This was the largest standard twin room on this West Coast trip. This size is what a West Coast hotel should be like! The bedding was high-quality and very comfortable. The only downside was finding all the light switches – the switch for the bedside light strip was near the headboard and a bit hard to find. There was a mention of parking fees, but they weren't charged. The parking lot seemed like typical free hotels – no barriers or staff. There was no free breakfast, which wasn't really necessary, especially since there's a large supermarket across the street; you could buy a lot of food for around ten dollars. The price of under two hundred dollars is acceptable, but the cheapest option was a hearing-impaired room, meaning it was a bit noisy by the street. However, Sonoma is relatively quiet, so it's not a big deal."

"I liked a lot about this hotel. And I liked all the staff I met. I never met the manager but I am almost certain I wouldn't like them. And for that reason I won't go back. Here's why: The strict check-in time is a huge turn-off. You show up at 1:30p, and it's $50 additional to get into your room because check-in time is FIRMLY 3pm. And at 2:45pm you still need to pay an additional $25? (And staff was trained to say, hey we are just really busy and we've got a lot of rooms to turn over -- to which I said, well that doesn't change whether or not I fork over another fifty dollars, does it? Either the rooms are available or not.) It just isn't a way to welcome someone into a hotel. What did I like? The staff are cheerful and kind, even when they have to enforce an absurd check-in policy. Hot coffee at 5am by the friendliest night auditor ever. Beds are comfortable and clean and the rooms are well-decored. Not to like? No onsite parking and you get a highly-detailed soliloquoy about parking options (none of them are ideal) instead of a nicely manicured handout. Likely you'll end up parking on the street and moving your car every two hours. No gym facilities, but you can go to 24 Hour Fitness. Do you have a courtesy relationship with them? No, no we don't. Do you have a business center where I can print out materials? No, but send us an email and we'll print it for you. What's the email? Email is uttered -- and it's long. I try and repeat it back. I mess up. They start looking for a business card and can't find one. Verdict: Super cute hotel. Houskeeping is awesome, staff are great. Management is terrible. I'm going back to Petaluma next week but I have already cancelled my reservation here because I'm arriving in the middle of the day and I want to be welcomed when I arrive and that won't happen here. I'll stay at a franchise hotel down the street where, if there's a room available, I'm pretty sure they'll let me in."

"Beautiful room with stunning views. Large pool and very good breakfast."
