While visiting Sonoma for the day, we decided on lunch here because the atmosphere was so attractive. Ate an excellent lunch on the back covered patio. Very pretty setting and everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. My beet salad was delicious! Service was very good.

Pros: -Location - location of the hotel was great - you're right off the square in downtown Sonoma and can walk to restaurants, shops, wine tastings, etc. -Price - we originally booked it because of the location and wanting to be in downtown Sonoma and finding a hotel that was under $300 (I think we booked for $250 for a...

Me and Hubby stumbled across this lovely old hotel with outside tables with candles where we sat down for an hour with a glass of wine. Friendly staff, very interesting decor which tells you about the history of the hotel, we enjoyed our pit stop immensely and would love to go back.

We booked a one night stay after a day of wine tasting so we could enjoy the Sonoma square and extend our wonderful day in the wine country. We loved the room! The noise of the bar only lasted a bit and died down about 11pm. We'll be back for sure. Also loved the restaurant and brought dessert back to... More

We didn't stay at the Swiss hotel, but we had an excellent dinner there. We sat in the shady patio in the back, and though it was rather crowded the service was friendly and quick. We liked the Italian dishes and enjoyed the lovely wines.

We didn't eat at the restaurant, but the hotel was great! It had a very homey feel to it, very simple and cozy. I was just traveling with two other friends, but it would be a great spot for a couples getaway, too. Definitely would go back!

This hotel is perfectly situated, right on the main square in Sonoma. Parking is easy, just out the back. We had a bed so large that I needed to use the steps up to it and direct access to the balcony overlooking the square. The room had a fridge, lounge area and large bathroom. Staying right on the square and... More

What a contrast to our stay at Sonoma Inn last December, where we felt as if we were staying wit a stingy old aunt in her dusty spare room, and who didn't really want us around! At the Swiss Hotel, we got a queen "room" that amounted to a suite, and everything was just fine -- fresh, well appointed and... More

This is a historic hotel. It was dated, but clean. Don't be surprised by the slanted floors. The accommodations are like a room at a Grandmothers house. The location was great (right on the square) especially for the price. Many rooms in Sonoma were booked the night we stayed. We were pleased to stay here over a chain near the... More

First off, this is a very simple hotel NOT fancy but, clean. Just don't stay in room #1 over the square unless you are completly deaf. The restaurant and bar however are great, casual places to eat, drink and people watch - one of favorite in Sonoma! Snag a patio seat on the dog friendly front porch if possible. They... More
