I was disappointed in a few things. It’s an older hotel which is fine but I have pictures of how nasty the walls were. They clearly do not clean the rooms very well. We also had a room next to the building next door, we could hear every cough they did, talking, very thin walls… As we are packing up from our one night stay we get a bang on the front door at 10am (check out is 11am) yelling housekeeping. I had to yell no thank you as my husband was getting out of the shower. Thought that was odd.. Won’t be staying the night here anymore just due to how they are clearly not disinfecting the rooms when people come.

The property is close to many good places to eat and shop. The staff was nice and helpful. The property was in nice condition too. The only two issues we had were noise and lack of hot water for showers. The noise was due to our room running alongside the road across from a bar. Otherwise it was a nice place.

So firstly. Staying three nights in three different hotels, this was the nicest one. That said. The rooms were updated, this is true. But like. Not done/finished? The mirrored closet was missing its magnetized catch to keep it closed. But the hole was there in the frame. The closet (?) next to it was missing the bar for hangers, but the metal attachments were on the wall, waiting for the bar to be inserted. The lady at check in was very nice. However when I asked for more towels (there were only two in the room, and only two washcloths… and we indicated when we booked that there would be 2 adults and 2 children), it took 4 hours to get 2 additional towels. When I asked for two additional pillows, I was told they’d try but likely could not accommodate. There were 4 pillows, we asked for two more, to be clear. The bathroom was charming and older, in fact as decorated as we expected the entire hotel to be. Just… more historic. But. The shower curtain was moldy. Bummer. But again, likely the nicest place we stayed at. :/

The historic hotel used to be considered a fancy place to stay. But not so anymore. Although it was clean, it is in need of paint and repairs and new furniture and carpet . It just felt real run down. It's not the "go to" place I remember .

We were moved from the inn to the hotel Lumberjack, which is really a motel. All the tvs were “broken”. There was duct tape holding the lamp together. We cleaned up spilled water with a towel and discovered the floors were HORRIFICALLY dirty. I’m very disappointed overall and will not return

Unsatisfied

The room to enter needed an old key, you could hear the plumbing all night, the room u could barely fit in. The outside was so lod and didnt end til after maybe 3. No heat, shower you either froze or burned. The only thing decent was the beds. For 170 a night not worth it.

It was good but our room did not have bathing soaps. We called the front desk and said she will bring it right away only to come after half an hour of waiting. Other thank that, everything else was good and it was a friendly environment

Meh Breakfast, Small Rooms, But Good Location

The breakfast offerings were very sparse, more continental than anything hot. Dining room trash bin became overflowing and nobody bothered to clean. Rooms were very small, remember that this is an historic hotel. Location is great, right on Washington Street. For the price, you get what you pay for, but wouldn't hurt to pay more attention to breakfast operation.

Old West meet newly refreshed!

very cute, recently refreshed historic inn in the heart of Sonora old town. this property had historical artifacts and relics from the past. staff was friendly and helpful. I felt like I was in a combination of European and old West Inn. Clean and safe. Free breakfast was super busy and seemed to be over picked, but hey it was free. Only other negative was that the elevator was out of service. I would stay here again.
