We didn't have the chance to stay overnight since we had a busy weekend. But we live only an hour away, so we decided to book the Wine Country Romance Spa Package which included a scrub, massage, lunch and gift.

Wow! When we arrived, the grounds were beautiful. The landscaping was nice and perfectly kept. The white buildings were clean and private looking.

We walked to the center of the complex. The Spa is located next to the pool. The pool is a nice size and there were plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas. All clean and nicely kept.

We entered the spa, which also has a little gift shop and was greeted warmly (by name) by Annette. She instructed us what to do, since we're not avid spa goers. My boyfriend went his way and I went mine. In our lockers was the "gift" (mine was a rose scented body butter, his was a candle) and credit towards our lunch. When we came out, we sat in the "lounge" which was just 4 chairs and a coffee table. I must say they had the tastiest little cookies there as well. I ate 3! We had our scrub in the couples room, very nice and although I can't remember the names of our massage therapists, they were amazing! They made us feel at ease and they definitely knew what they were doing. (We also got small bottles of the lotions and oils they used with our treatments.) After that, we had an hour break, so we steamed in the co-ed steam room (such a nice touch for couples), then went to the pool and relaxed. Although only an hour from SF, we felt like we were on holiday in another country. We also had a swedish massage as part of the package and lunch by the pool.

Everything was great. The spa was clean, pretty, and well equipped. Peaceful, beautiful grounds with lovely workers. We had a dream like experience. We would like to go back once a month if possible!!!

My husband & I recently stayed at MacArthurs Place and had a wonderful time. The Front Desk Manager, Bunky, was delightful. She was very helpful with fun activities to do during our stay. We kicked off the weekend by starting with a couples massage which was done by Cynthia & Gabrielle. These women did a magnificent job. We were both very impressed with their technique. Then we relaxed by the pool where a lovely young waitress took care of our every need. Her name was Jessica & she was very professional & friendly. We then cleaned up & went into the Saddles lounge where we enjoyed cocktails & appetizers. Gerard was the bartender & he and my husband really clicked. They came up with a new drink & named it after my husband. The funny thing was, when we went out to another establishment later on in the evening, the bartender there already was given a heads up & knew what was in the 'Captian Ron'. We also had dinner in Saddles Steakhouse & the Filet melted in our mouths. The waiter, Asher was excellent. Not one detail missing. We want to thank the staff for making our stay so enjoyable. We look forward to returning & staying longer. Thanks again.....

I took my Mom to Sonoma for her 60th birthday, and we had the most wonderful stay at MacArthur Place. The rooms are quite spacious, and the beds are very comfortable. There is a lovely rain shower, and comfy robes to lounge around in while planning your wine excursions. The front desk was incredibly helpful and made several dinner reservations for us. We also used their shipping service to send our wine purchases home.

The grounds are adorable - beautiful flowers, original artwork, etc. The hotel is only about a 15-minute walk into Sonoma Plaza, where we had several dinners.

We can't WAIT to return to this hotel!

MacArthur Place is lovely. The original inn began with accomodations in the Manor House. Now the property has several buildings, all maintained beautifully. The grounds are amazing, with attractive landscaping and lush gardens complete with whimsical metal sculptures and water features. We were told that they offer a tour of the grounds that will discuss the large variety of plants on the property.

We especially enjoyed the wine tasting held in the Library, that included a variety of fresh cheeses, fruits, as well as dried fruits and crackers. Each evening a different local winery would pour. During our stay we sampled from St. Jean and Imagery. It was a nice precursor to dinner.

The Saddles Restaurant is known for their beef and it didn't disappoint. We tried the grass fed filet and it was delicious. Friday evening there was also a live jazz band that entertained us. Very nice. Continental breakfast was just enough to get the day started with a variety of fresh fruits (always replenished when low), cereals, breads, smoked salmon and hard boiled eggs.

The staff was very accomodating and friendly. When I inquired, they went so far as to find out who supplied the dried fruits for their wine tasting and then brought us a take home box of all the fruits as a momento of our stay.

As another reviewer indicated the pool and fitness room are average and the fitness room is on the small side, but has everything necessary for a workout. We didn't take advantage of the spa.

Our room was located in a duplex structure (Magnolia bldg.) on the first floor. It was very clean and nicely appointed. However, I would recommend an upper level room because if you have someone staying above you like we did you hear every footstep. I felt the building could have used more soundproofing because we could hear more than we wanted to from our upstairs neighbors and were awakened by them each morning.

Overall, a nice place to stay while visiting Sonoma.
