Not happy with our short stay

Gunn house 3/8/25, rooms #12 and 14. $84 per night, good rate but there are reasons why: 1. Clerk not in office at check in or check out. Yelled for him, nothing. Had to call hotel phone to get assistance. Ended up leaving keys in a bucket on the counter where other people left theirs. 2. Room signs are deceiving. They lead you one way while the room is another. Very little signage on property. 3. Parking leaves a lot to be desired. Only one ADA space. 4. Lots of stairs, not ADA friendly 5. On check in, the tv remote didn’t work so called the office. 45 minutes later he came to check it and said a repairman would come Monday. Several hours later, we found the correct remote had fallen behind a nightstand by a previous guest leaving the hotel having to use a different one. 6. Toilet low, not ADA, hard to get off of even for someone with no mobility issues. 7. No phone in room. Had to use cell phone to contact them. 8. Clock in room inoperative. Later found to be unplugged. 9. Seems to be just one ADA room on property (#7). 10. No signs as to the breakfast area, ice machine or emergency exit. 11. No lighting on walkway along driveway to parking. 12. Air conditioner on wall about 6-2” high, unlit and painted same color as wall. No lighting or warning. Caught head on it during night hours as it could not be seen in the dark hours. 13. Lots of street noise but is to be expected facing street. 14. Room was cool, the heater took awhile to warm the room up but eventually did.

Upon check in, we were shown to the room that the innkeeper said was “the most historic room in the house”, whatever that means. The room was indescribable, whatever I say does not compare to the harsh reality of the room. Dirty, unsanitary, filthy, dirty ceramic tile floor with spills, walls in grave disrepair. Horrible patch job with parts of wall crumbling. Bath tub had some black mold. Wall under bathroom sink had a horrible case of black mold. Front door in disrepair, you would need to see the pictures of the place to believe it Front door lock did not seem to be working. Absolutely did not feel safe there. DID NOT STAY. We checked right back out. Was not offered any other options. Had to find another place to stay, regardless of the cost. The entire grounds were unsafe and in disrepair. The first thing to hit me when i walked in the room, was the smell of dirty water. I don’t know how to really explain. Like a cold, wet, unkept building and there was no smoke detector or carbon monoxide alarm. It’s really a shame:-(. They had both windows open to air out the room I guess. The front desk person closed one so I can’t say, but I closed the bathroom one and it had no screen.

The gentleman who runs the front desk is absolutely amazing. I had to keep staying overnight for about a week and before check out he would always come and check to see if I was gonna stay another night or if I was checking out, he made every possible accommodation to keep me in the same room. Really great people who run this place we need more places like this.

The Gunn House is a historic inn. Expect older antique furniture and surroundings. The breakfast is home cooked egg casserole, muffins. cake and make your own waffles, plus toast, cereal, jelly, and peanut butter. Hot coffee. Harry was great and not only cooked breakfast but made sure everything was replenished. Quiet and efficient wall heater. Plenty of hot water for your shower. All was very nice.

Great value for the money with Gold Rush era charm

Good value for the money, hotel is built in 1850 and maintains its Gold Rush era charm. You really feel like at a movie set about 1849. Nevertheless it's comfortable, with a/c in every room, very clean. Free breakfast in the morning, all cooked here, hot and fresh. Laundry room and pool. Plenty of free parking and it's on a main street in Sonora which is part of the historic Highway 49, with plenty of things to see and to try. Will definitely stay here again.
