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.

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.

Problems continued

Check in took forever - staff met us in parking lot afterwards to apologize before we went sightseeing. People entered our room while I was dressing. Husband could not reenter room later at night - key issues. Staff problems continued. We were promised they would refund for a night. Too busy with other problems to solve ours. People complaining in lobby constantly. Staff was pleasant but inefficient regarding our particular problems.
