Comfortable Stay in Gold Country
Very friendly staff. Room was as described on the website. Room 212 had some street noise, mostly from trucks and fast and furious type cars. Not much you can do about that. Complimentary breakfast was wonderful and filling for a hike and a drive back to the bay area. Coffee was very good at the breakfast. We may try their sister property across the street (which is where the Sonora Inn's free parking is located) by the name of Hotel Lumberjack for less street noise and the same staff and breakfast as Sonora Inn.

The location is wonderful! The room is partially updated, including a nice flatscreen tv, cabinets and technology ports. However, the bathroom needs a total renovation. Also, I don’t know if the carpet was older or newer, but it seemed on the older side. There is parking in a lot connected to a sister hotel, however when we returned at 10 pm is was full, and we had park a block away on the street. During the week you can’t park on the street, so it might be a problem. The staff was friendly and helpful.

This is a beautiful hotel. Be careful to ask for a room away from the Main Street if you want quiet. The room was lovely but there was hair in the drain of the tub. ( I had to ask for a plug so I could take a bath. - I received one) Thebreakfast was basic but sufficient. We did receive a coupon for a dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Booked my stay with Hotels.com. When I arrived the hotel said I didn’t have a reservation. I had a confirmation number but hotel never got my reservation. But Hotel.com had already taken my money. Called Hotel.com and they told I didn’t have a reservation. Thanks to Sonora Inn for trying to help. I did get a room but had to pay Sonora Inn plus the money I paid Hotel.com.
