“Lovely get away”
The room was nicely decorated and clean. No smells, liked the cookie treat, the nespresso machine. Some tea bags might have been nice too. The restaurant was very good. The bikes were a nice touch to ride to the wineries.

“Clean, comfortable, brilliant location”
I think they've undergone a recent refit so everything was superbly clean and tidy. Our room was small, but the bed was enormous and very comfortable, which is the important thing. Brilliant shower. Really helpful staff. Perfect location (not too noisy, despite being on the main square) we'd love to come back

The staff at reception were so friendly and welcoming from the moment that we arrived. The room was perfect for a couple, and everything was spotlessly clean. You couldn't ask for a better location for Sonoma as it's right on the square.
