This is more like a motel, located on a hill so that you can enter the top floor from the back and the ground floor from the front. The only window to the room was facing the balcony, so that you could have light or privacy. Otherwise the accommodation was of 2 star quality. The complimentary breakfast was a great... More

Stayed here as part of a tour - bed clean and comfortable, and a complimentary basic breakfast provided (very welcome as not usual in the States). However, room was ridiculously dark - curtains had to be closed all the tiime as window straight out on to outside passageway but that is the design of the hotel. Room also rather closed... More

A buddy and I needed to overnight in Sonora before the Ward's Ferry bike race. I found a great deal for the Inns of California-Sonora ($67/night) on some web site and so wasn't expecting much. We were pleasantly surprised by the room and very happy that it had a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker. They also have a free breakfast... More

The picture looked a lot better than the room. The coffee tasted like it was watered down. The swimming pool and spa wasn't in use (repairs being done on it). Didn't know that when I booked. Didn't get a discount because of this but got the AARP one. Room was still $91 and not very cozy. Walls looked dirty. Got... More

Always stay at this hotel when taking my kids to the snow and have never had a problem. My nephew left his leapster toy in the drawer of the nightstand and when we realized it we immediately called to ask about it and was told Sorry! We didn't find anything when the room was checked and cleaned....My nephew was very... More

I truly understand your frustration over the loss of valued toy, however I can assure you that our housekeeping staff did not steal it. We did our best to try and locate the toy the night you called. Our lost and found book did not show any items left in your rooms so my assistant manager went up and personally... More

It's in the middle of the town. You can easily walk to every place. The service was great, got good tips where to go and have dinner. Rooms are smallish, bit aged. Ice and vending are there but could be better. Breakfast was available, but wasn't that great and there is no room to eat it other than your own... More

The room was compact but the main issue was the gaps around the edge of the door, window and air conditioning unit. This was our least favourite hotel on a tour of Western USA, it just felt a bit low quality and rickety. There was free internet on 1 PC in the reception building but the receptionist was stressing out... More

Attended a conference in Columbia, CA and stayed at this inn. The room was in much need of a remodel. Those very old classic bedspreads that are thin and probably never washed, there was dirt in the toilet, stains on the sink, carpet and chairs dirty. I always carry Lysol Spray so I sprayed the entire place. When I wipped... More

Unfortunately we can not predict when a plumbing problem may arise, but we did our best to resolve the problem as quickly and courteously. Sometimes events beyond our control can delay the resolution of a problem. I am glad that we were able to get you into another room and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused... More
