Kristina is AMAZING. My best friend and I do an anual "mom-cation" and stayed here the first year. Kristina was wonderful and was the main reason why we stayed here the following trip (this year) She is knowledgable about things going on in the area, helpful and kind.

Clean room. Staff was very courteous. Older "historic" inn so it was cold and drafty in areas. Water pressure low and took awhile to warm up. Breakfast was okay but not terrific, packaged muffins, yogurt, breads, cereal, with OJ and Milk and a slow waffle maker.

I was not expecting to be put in a room with no window to the outside. Also, the amenities in the room were quite spartan. A single bar of soap for both the sink and the shower. Two thin pillows for a double bed. For the price I suppose it’s adequate. But had I known, I would’ve sprung for a better room type.

8/10 Very good

The rooms are decent. Small, but decent. HVAC for the room is a window heater/air conditioner. It worked well, but noisy. Shower is old fashioned 2 handle to control temp. Because of this it is extremely difficult to take a shower without vacillating between scorching hot and ice cold. If you get it right... wash quick! :-) The I took a star off comfort because the bed covers they use were awful and kept coming off and you end up sleeping on the mattress waterproof cover which looked dirty. Only two pillows per bed. Would like to have seen 4. They own the hotel behind them, so you park in their lot. Sonora Inn has no parking lot itself. Never had any problems parking even on a holiday weekend. Breakfast was ok. They ran out of a lot of what should have been out. The staff is excellent and very friendly!

Staff was phenomenal. Beds were soft and very comfortable. Heater worked well. Room was clean. Only downside because it is an older building the walls are fairly thin and you can hear louder cars and people out on the street.

Lack of toiletries (no shampoo or bath soap), no ice bucket, no blanket, several wall outlets did not work, dangerous unlit step down from the bathroom into the bedroom. Broken wall tiles in the bathroom, bathroom floor was not clean.

The bed only had one thin blanket and no comforter. The window AC/heat was marginal at best for the night. The floors are noticeably tilting as you walk through the hall and the room. What can I say, You get what you pay for.

This was an ok hotel. I was looking forward to a stay at a historic hotel but it really was like 1880s and not in a good way. The bed felt it was made of cardboard and we couldn’t find the thermostat until the morning so the room was freezing all night. Also, too small. The hall ways, the way into the room, space around the beds. All of it you could call “cozy” but I call it small
