  : Location was great. Close to downtown, restaurants and shops.Lovely, fresh continental breakfast.Host was very friendly & accommodating to our needs.
  : Our room had a private bathroom but was located downstairs from our room, a little inconvenient for older people. However, all the other rooms had bathrooms next to their rooms.We would definitely book again but will request a different room.

  : The bed was very comfortable and the innkeeper was very accommodating.
  : Inn was located on a major street so the traffic sounds were louder than I would have liked.

  : Breakfast was the only disappointment. Since we were the only guests that nite, not much effort was put into making it anything special...a pastry, a banana, yogurt and coffee.

  : The location was great. It is right down the street from the Sonoma Square. The bed was very comfy and the place was very clean. The house was built in 1889 I believe that's what the Inn keeper said. So it has some great history.
  : The breakfast was just a pastry (dry kind of hard seemed old definitely not fresh), coffee, orange juice, yogurt, hard boiled egg, and fruit. So not a lot to choose from. The master suite we stayed in had a few issues. There was the towel rack that feel off the wall. The shower head was loose and sprayed water when I turned it on. I hand tightened it back on to stop it from spraying. The water took for ever to get hot. I had to turn both faucets on and allow the water to run for a good 5 minutes before getting hot water. The faucets are a terrible design. They are to low to the sink and they are to long out over the sink it makes it hard to use them. The sink fills with water and when you are trying to wash your hands so you are having to put your hands in the dirty sink water when you are trying to rinse them. Then there's the low hanging lights in the center of the room that I kept hitting my head on. The wall/ceiling on both sides of the bed were very low as well. I hit my head several times there as well. This room is definitely not for tall people. The room had a channel guide on the dresser that listed all the channels. The problem is it listed a tun of channels that they did not subscribe to. So I was inputting channels and kept getting a message on the screen saying the channel was not part of the subscribers package/not available. It's nice to have a channel guide but it should only list the local channels they provide.

  : proximity to plaza.Cleanliness.
  : 1. Bed/Pillows not comfortable.2. Breakfast items were not refilled even though there were not enough guests (besides us there were only 3 guests). When we came to have our breakfast there was no bread/croissants. One single dry avocado toast was there...not enough for the family of four . No napkins(paper or cloth) were available. Coffee refill was not available. The lady/Inn keeper was there in the kitchen not attending to anyone...came to check for coffee refill when we were about to leave.3. Size of the rooms. They are very small and there is no place to sit except one very small rickety table and chair. This is not clear in the pictures at the time of online booking.4. InnKeeper was not very hospitable. In fact I found her to be a little rude.While entering our rooms from outside with our kids we were talking and she came behind us and asked us to be quite. It was evening time and we were talking in normal voice (maybe not in the hush tone).This place may be good for a couple who are going to use this place only to sleep. Definitely not good for family with kids.
