8/10 Good
"Overall, I think it was over priced. It was clean, the service desk was friendly and helpful, and it is kinda nestled in a pleasant location. It's a little bit old (no microwave) but has a vintage style to it. It was a nice and pleasant stay, but I do believe it is over-priced."

"The inn was located one block from the main square so many restaurants and wineries were within walking distance. The complimentary wine and cheese every day from 5-6 and the included breakfast buffet were delightful added touches. On sight parking was free. Sonoma is not an inexpensive place to visit to these added amenities were greatly appreciated!"

Beautiful Deluxe Sonoma Retreat With Private Pool Spa Bocce & More! Sleeps 8+2

8/10 Good
"Really enjoyed the house, perfect for our ladies (we're in our 70's) road trip! What a gorgeous dining table. Beds were comfy!Carpets and outdoor chairs could use a good cleaning. Unable to open bedroom window in first room to the left of the stairs to let cool air. Opened the door, but nervous about leaving it open over night while sleeping. Hot and cold water in upstairs showers and sinks are plumbed opposite of usual side (cold usually right and hot left), a struggle until we figured that out. Recommend that you replace faucet knobs with ones with letters ...H and C. The master bedroom shower head is too long, difficult to shower without getting your hair wet. Water comes pretty much straight down. We were unable to get the air conditioning working. Had a couple of very warm nights. Fans were appreciated.Struggled so much with the remotes for the living room TV, even with studying the directions in the binder, that we finally just gave up.We needed more hangers and since there aren't full dressers in all of the bedrooms, maybe add some cube cubby units in one side of the closet to place clothes. The small chairs in the smaller bedrooms were in the way and made it difficult to walk around the bed.Hope these suggestions were helpful!"
