The bed only had one thin blanket and no comforter. The window AC/heat was marginal at best for the night. The floors are noticeably tilting as you walk through the hall and the room. What can I say, You get what you pay for.

This was an ok hotel. I was looking forward to a stay at a historic hotel but it really was like 1880s and not in a good way. The bed felt it was made of cardboard and we couldn’t find the thermostat until the morning so the room was freezing all night. Also, too small. The hall ways, the way into the room, space around the beds. All of it you could call “cozy” but I call it small

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not rustic charm, truth is maintenance just not performed. Windows broken (won't start open and won't completely shut). Bathroom sink water faucet and shower run (won't shut off) and diversion valve for shower broken so more water flows to tub than shower head. Tub and sink old and stained, carpet worn, towels and sheets are well beyond their service life. "Upgraded City View" room is on the street with windows that don't seal making the noise defining - and there's no "view" because the windows are so dirty you don't need to use the drapes for privacy. Overall, a bargain $50 motel chain provides a similar experience. One positive point, staff very polite.

The room was small and cramped, difficult to set up pack n play and walk around it. Bathroom was very outdated and looked unclean. The shades are not black out and light pours in from the street all night, as well as sounds from cars and motorcycles. Walls are thin, we heard neighbors slamming drawers all night and children slamming doors/running down the hallways loudly while trying to sleep. The fridge in the room froze all our food, including baby’s milk. Overall just not a pleasant experience.

The facility itself was nice; clean, updated and comfortable. Our room was right next to what is probably the busiest intersection in Sonora. So, it was louder in the room than usual. The great part is that the AC unit was kind of loud so it drowned out the traffic noise. So,…there’s that. They have a real parking issue. They share a very small parking lot with a sister facility next door. It is not enough for both facilities. We didn’t want to move our car once we got a spot. The car spaces are incredibly narrow. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We received 10% off coupons for 3 places to eat at check in. We ate at wonderful Mexican restaurant just one block north that was absolutely awesome. This facility is centrally located to do other fun things around like Colombia State park, James town and plenty of Goldrush historical sites.

Liked: Cleanliness
This is an older hotel, it was very clean and we enjoyed our stay very much, but there are some inconveniences because of it being an older building. The parking is across the street from the main hotel, and our room was surprisingly tiny with a king bed, but that is more to let people know, it didn’t bother us. The only actual thing I would have liked to see different was to add a garbage bin to the room or have some larger bins available somewhere in the hotel. One small bin in the bathroom is not enough, especially if you do not otherwise need your room cleaned daily.
