Location is perfect, right on the plaza and walking distance to dozens of restaurants, bars and shops as well as a beautiful park across the street. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable, shower was very nice. Absolutely loved this hotel, will stay again! The only two items that may be an issue for some are that the room was very small, we had maybe 2 feet on each side of the bed to walk around, and the other is parking. The hotel has a very small parking lot in the back that is a little tricky to get in/out of and there is street parking but it's all limited time parking unless you go 2-3 blocks away.

We only stayed one night, but it was perfect. The rooms, though small, were well-appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—right on the square and within walking distance of everything Sonoma has to offer. We would absolutely stay here again!
