This place is a good way to experience how thing were in another century. This is the second time that I have stayed there. The staff was pleasant and the room clean. I doesn't have the modern conviences like a single faucet in the bathroom, which makes it difficult to wash your hands without filling the basin to get the... More

I've been very familiar with the Sonora area for over 30 years, having lived nearby, but never stayed at the Sonora; I now wish I could still say that. Generally I like older places with "character", this is just too much.. The location is great and the check in was prompt, after that things went bad.... The first room I... More

Stayed for three nights using a Groupon for two of the nights. We reserved a historic double bed room. I guess historic means it is the smallest room they have. Beds were comfy but no desk, dresser and lighting was not adequate to read by. No pictures on walls but the TV was wall mounted and in a wooden frame... More

Just spent the weekend at this Inn ...Beautifully appointed rooms in a vintage mid town setting. Staff was very pleasant. Could do with a few more modern amenities (bathroom was a lil small but quaint) and WiFi, while available in the room, was a bit slow and spotty; The wifi in the main lobby was very strong. But all in... More

We stayed in the historic inn, not the roadway inn on the back that is affiliated. We were in a 2 queen bed room, which also had a full bath (nice to get a tub). Overall, very clean and good smelling (often historic places look nice but smell bad - this one smelled just fine). Only down side was the... More

This hotel was not at all what I was expecting from the photos. It is amazing what you can do with wide angle lens when taking a picture of a pool that was on the roof of a garage. The rooms were very shabby and although the bed was comfortable the shower room needed replacing and was verging on the... More

We stayed here on our way to Yosemite. A very reasonable price, nice staff, very comfy bed and clean rooms. I'd recommend as a good stopping place. Breakfast was the main downfall, paper plates, cups and plastic cutlery in a very old dingy room! The room price however is cheap enough to treat yourself to breakfast at one of the... More
