Wow - great experience my wife & I had staying here. Exceptional staff, lovely room. Complimentary wine on arrival, complimentary cocktail with dinner, and complimentary whiskies to finish the evening (by the fire). Amazing. We were only overnight with a check out at 11am. As we didn't need to leave for SFO until 4.30pm that day, we were so grateful to have full use of the Hotel's facilities all day. We used the complimentary bicycles to do a wine trail, then came back to relax around the pool...

This motel was perfectly adequate for a 2 night stay. The room was very small but we had a patio where we could sit outside and get fresh air. We could park our rental car straight outside which was a bonus. We drove back into Sonoma for dinner at night which took 5 mins.
