“Very nice place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 21, 2013

We really enjoyed the hotel. Perfect location. Everything was very clean and the people were all very nice. Two suggestions: Get better toliet paper. One ply and too rough. Lower your rates. The price was too high.

“Fancy for a BW”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

This is a fancy Best Western. Our room has huge and the fire place had a real burner log that was perfect on a chilly night. We stayed at another BW like this in Healdsburg but the fireplace there was gas burning which was not as cool. The bed was huge and plush. The rooms have a nice boutique hotel feel despite it being a major chain. It is only a few blocks walk from the square and there is a nice Whole Foods across the street.

“Hidden Gem in Sonoma”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

The property itself may be a bit dated, but the attention the staff pays to the details makes up for it! From the tissues being fanned out in their box to the wonderfully welcoming front desk staff, the service here was nearly as good as the four-star big-name hotel we stayed at in the city a day prior.

No, there's no elevator; and no, there isn't a bellman waiting to call you a cab at the drop of a hat (and a hefty tip). But, when it's a cool and rainy winter NorCal day, and you have easy access to a spotless spa, heated pool & sauna, and a roaring fire to warm the chill after a quick winter dip in the pool, what more could you ask for?

The staff were incredibly accommodating, ensuring we had a room with a fireplace (even though we booked through Hotwire). They even dished about the latest local gossip with us when we mentioned we used to live in the area. The iced & hot tea & coffee available in the lobby at all hours were a nice touch.

The breakfast isn't anything to write home about; we skipped it after the first day as we could get fresh, reasonably priced exotic produce in East Bay asian markets that we can't come close to touching at home in Wisconsin. (Dragonfruit are seriously 10% of the price here as at home!) But, it's included, and the staff were attentive and welcoming.

Our one complaint about the room was that the chairs in front of the fireplace were more for show than for use. A big comfy chair to relax in at the end of the day would have been very appreciated.

Room Tip: If you plan to use the pool often, ask for a room with direct access. We felt a little guilty traips...

“Better than expected for a Best Western!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

We arrived in town after a 5+ hour flight and an hour+ drive from San Fran to a very nice staff that was very helpful! We had never been to the area and had several questions about dining, etc. The front desk staff was very nice and answered all of our questions.

The room was almost right above their offices. It was a very spacious room, but had no fireplace. Not a huge deal, but I was disappointed. The room itself was clean and in good repair, but was dated. This didn't bother us, though. The shower had good pressure, the drain worked well and there was even a fridge in the unit! Given the class of hotel, this location was above average.

Downfalls? Breakfast is served in another building, a short walk away. Not ideal. Breakfast was average, but the area was clean. There are no elevators. That's not good if you are on the second floor like we were. The exercise room is terrible. A bike, a treadmill and a small weight machine are shoe horned into too small of a space. It's a complete after thought. While clean, it's not useful at all.

Upside? Clean, great service and centrally located. If you are okay with a no frills hotel that's clean and located in a great spot, this is it!!

Room Tip: Try the Black Bear Restaurant across the street for b-fast. There is a whole foods, CVS, etc. in a...

Thank you for your review and input regarding your stay with us. It sounds like you stayed in one of our Standard Rooms. Most of our rooms do have fireplaces, but I don't know the circumstances of how you booked or what our occupancy was at time of your stay. Depending on the circumstances I wish we could have resolved that for you while you were here.

Your appreciation of the staff means a great deal to them, because they pride themselves on doing their best to make sure all our guests have a great time on their vacation.

All of your input regarding your stay, including breakfast, helps us to work harder to make ourselves better.

All best,
