Located near the Sonoma Square and the town of Sonoma, MacArthur Place Hotel & Spa is appreciated by many travelers for its prime location. However, some guests warn of potential traffic noise. The hotel's cleanliness and tastefully decorated rooms earn rave reviews, though signs of wear and tear have been noted. While some guests find the value satisfactory, others mention issues with amenities and additional charges. The outdoor areas and fire pits are popular, but the lack of spa facilities during renovation was a disappointment for some. Service is frequently commended as friendly and professional.

The resort was breathtaking, everything was brand new and clean... Room was super clean and newly renovated with tons of upgrades... Love the option to have outdoor in the front porch or even back patio, also there was couple fire pits by the room which was just perfect... I had dinner and a drink at the bar, which was just an amazing experience with friendly staff... Unfortunately, I didn’t use the spa facilities because I had a short trip, but I plan to visit it again since it was a beautiful stay... I highly recommend this place, and I am looking forward to my next visit...

    Every detail at Mac Arthur Place is designed to help you relax and enjoy... The room, our room, was like an oasis... Deep soaking tub with bath salts provided?... A bed that is so comfortable it’s like you’re being hugged?... And grounds that are stunning and feel like your forest bathing in the park... They exceeded our expectations with grace and kindness, caring for all our needs without any airs...

    Stayed at MacArthur on my last business trip to Sonoma. The hotel is located very close to the heart of Sonoma and a short walk to the square... Everything was exceptional, especially loved the staff...

    ...This is an ideal location for a visit to the beautiful town Sonoma. MPH is within walking distance of Sonoma's Historic Plaza, shops, restaurants and wine tasting rooms... The guestrooms are tastefully appointed, and Layla restaurant offers a creative wine country menu with a lively indoor/outdoor ambiance...

    ...Wonderful little property with many features and amenities. Including a spa, a restaurant steps away from the room, bar, etc... Warm and friendly service and they don’t charge for every little item...

    ...We were well greeted upon arrival, our luggage taken to our room, & had chilled champagne waiting on us in our room!... We stayed in the standard suite with a king bed & fireplace... My favorite features were the heated bathroom floors, the spacious shower with 2 shower heads, & the smart lights!... The scenery around the property & fire pits scattered throughout are also something to see...

    Found the hotel by happenstance - stopped for a lunch at Layla and fell in love with the property... The property was incredibly beautiful with plenty of winding garden paths between buildings, lots of places to sit and enjoy the scenery with swings and fire pits... The room was similarly beautiful and well decorated... Everything in the hotel feels very deliberate and thoughtful, with a perfect mix of luxury and comfort... Hands down one of our favorite parts about the visit here, will definitely come back!...

    ...Very thoughtfully designed with privacy in mind, walkways with abundant botanicals brimming with pleasant aromas around every corner. Great old world feel with every modern amenity you could need... I highly recommend getting a suite with the outdoor shower, it is well worth it...

This is our favorite spot for a getaway. The property and guest rooms are beautiful, the newly renovated spa and pool are fantastic, excellent food and service, and perfect location in Sonoma with easy access to the town square.

My wife and I recently celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary at MacArthur Place and were blown away by the property! The staff are some of the nicest and friendliest I have come across in all my travels. We stayed in room 27 and it was fantastic. It had a big patio outside and an outdoor shower! The bed was very comfortable and there were a bunch of items in the room that came free of charge! We both had massages and they were fantastic. Top 5 and I have had a lot of massages in my time. We unfortunately did not eat at Layla on this trip but I have in the past and it was really good. We ate out for each meal as we wanted to try a bunch of restaurants we had heard we need to check out as we live 45 minutes away from Sonoma. We did have a glass or two at the bar of Layla and the staff there were fantastic. Again...I would highly suggest MacArthur Place!

My daughter and I recently took a trip to MacArthur Place Hotel and Spa. I had encountered a grueling health crisis over the last year and a half and my daughter was graduating from school and I was celebrating a significant birthday. However, as celebratory as the situation warranted, I was very tired and drained. I reached out to the concierge, Debra, for assistance and was treated with an enormous amount of attentiveness, help, and respect. I explained how important this trip was, and the meaning behind certain special requests. What we received from initial contact forward was above, and beyond what we expected. The front desk was very accommodating, housekeeping was absolutely lovely, the bellhops were extremely polite and on top of things, and the restaurant (Layla) was scrumptious! We had a second trip planned at another location, but we decided that we didn’t want to fly there because we already knew we were comfortable at MacArthur Place. I moved forward and canceled that trip and we have another trip planned to return. The restaurant recommendations were spot on so we plan on revisiting those as well as the massages we enjoyed on the property. All of your staff represented top notch and allowed for one of our most memorable vacations yet. When you have a young adult state that they plan on making the location their location of a lifetime you know it went well. I hope management sees this message, and then everyone gets the props. They deserve for being AMAZING!

Book my stay at MacArthur Place for my birthday and I was NOT disappointed. The service was top notch and the rooms were well appointed. Location couldn’t have been better. Dinned at Layla and that was outstanding. This is one hotel we will be coming back too!!! Thanks MacArthur Place for a wonderful birthday weekend!

I recently experienced the refreshed Spa at MacArthur Place and absolutely enjoyed my prenatal massage and the new facilities at the Spa! The best part of the prenatal massage was that they had a specialty pregnancy cushion which made for a very relaxing massage experience as I didn't have to lay on my sides. I was really impressed with the new facilities and amenities in the spa and the treatment rooms were stunning. I can't wait to come back and book another treatment soon!

Welcoming beautifully designed hotel with spa firepits and outdoor heated swimming pool. We stayed in a very large comfortable suite with fireplace.The hotel has been refurbished and there are so many attractive outdoor places to sit ,very well kept garden, The new steam room was wonderful and we had it to ourselves. There is a very well equipped gym looking out on the pool area.Dont miss the jacuzzi and spa pool. The icing on the cake were the friendly helpful staff from the valet ( including Seb) to the pool staff the reception and the best being Jennifer the restaurant manager and her enthusiastic team including Christy. We arrived jet lagged for supper and were made to feel so welcome ,very good wine by the glass, fresh beautifully presented food. Such a good breakfast too and exceptional coffee The hotel is walking distance from the centre of Sonoma.The hotel has E bikes to use. A fabulous way to start our holiday- we shall be back

Amazing place, will return on every visit to Sonoma! We came for our anniversary, and immediately found our favorite place in town, we didn't want to leave if it were not for the wine boutique tasting in the plaza we wouldn't have left the hotel grounds. Thank you so much for accommodations we will be back soon!

First, I told the reservation desk that we would be three people but the sofa bed was not yet set up when we arrived. Second, turn down service at my last stay was such a delight and I was sad to see it had been removed completely from our guest experience--the in-house baked chocolate chip cookies from my last trip were a small but highly appreciated touch. These small touches made me fall in love with MacArthur but this time around there was little to differentiate it from other options. Third, there was construction behind our unit--I called before to ask whether any construction would be ongoing and I was reassured it would be limited to landscaping. There was a huge crane right behind our room and although it wasn't jackhammer level, I would have appreciated honest notice.

Just finished a 2 night stay and wished we could have stayed longer! The grounds are peaceful and beautiful and everyone who works there is so polite and helpful! Our room was so comfortable and the fireplace was perfect for California cool evenings! Restaurant and bar area are both beautiful and all the food was excellent! A real gem in Sonoma😊😊
