No laundry options, our room smelled like beef tallow every night because it was right above the kitchen. They said there was a coffee bar, but it was never out. Everything around town closes around nine, including the kitchen. Staff fairly snobby.

Great choice

My wife and I really enjoyed this hotel. It is a historic hotel, being well over 100 years old, but is well kept and modern. We stayed in the second floor right next to the street, yet our room was still quiet, excluding garbage man. Pablo was the first person we met at check in. He was exceedingly pleasant, professional, helpful, and nice. A big walking smile and ball of positive energy. My wife and I have nothing bad to say about our stay. This is the likely choice of future Sonoma stays.
