The Hotel Healdsburg is beautifully designed with great light, high ceilings and a very clean luxurious feel. The rooms are large and the bathrooms are fantastic. Breakfast was very good as was a dinner we had in a private dinningroom. It is certainly one of the treats of wine country accommodation.

We decided to stay at several different hotels on our recent visit to Sonoma.
The Hotel Healdsburg had been recommended to us by a friend. It is a great
location while you are vising Healdsburg & surrounding areas. The hotel
appears to be run by a lot of very young people. They are very to the point
and not overly friendly. Even when calling to make reservations it was almost
as they were put off to be helping you. When I am spending a lot of money
on a hotel room it would have been nice to have "friendly" staff. The most helpful person
was the sweet waitress at breakfast. She seemed to be the only person that really cared that anyone was there at the hotel.

The room was well appointed & the bathroom was fantastic. The music player did not work. We stayed in a room overlooking the brewery next door. I expected it to be loud but much to my pleasure it was not. The bed was very comfortable.

On my next visit would we go back? Maybe, I really like a hotel that is more "guest" oriented.

On a side note, Willies is a great place for food & we loved the Stryker Vineyard!

We were at the hotel two nights in October 2012, first night overlooking the plaza and then the second toward the side away from the plaza. The difference was traffic noise on the street toward the plaza: not unbearable but heavier than we liked. But the advantages of this hotel: location right in the city center (no driving after the dinner/wine!), super breakfast including serving personnel intent on meeting our food needs, personnel that met every need we had, second floor outdoor patio - all were advantages that put the traffic noise out of mind.

My husband and I stayed in a suite on this property and paid almost $700 a night for a room that might be worth $250. The light on the makeup mirror didn't work, there was an annoying sound all the time - my husband thought it might be the HVAC on the roof, the duvet was ridiculously heavy, breakfast was mediocre at best, the living room was small, no flat screen tv in the living room. We really found nothing good to balance out the bad. Even the location, on Healdsburg Square proved too noisy when we left the window open for air since the AC was so loud. In all, a bad experience and not worth the money.
