Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at the Sonora Inn. The hotel offers a great location for exploring the area and friendly service. However, the noise from traffic was bothersome, and the dining options were disappointing.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and had very nice antique-style furniture, which gave a unique touch. The service was excellent, from helping with luggage to providing recommendations. The location was perfect in the center of town, with lots of great shops and dining options. The dining was okay, with a decent variety for breakfast. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel had a fantastic location, great for exploring the town with convenient access to nearby restaurants and shops. The rooms were nicely decorated but a bit noisy due to external sounds. The service was exceptional with friendly and accommodating staff. The dining experience offered a good selection, though some improvements could be made. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is perfectly located downtown, offering convenient access to restaurants and shops. The rooms, although smaller than expected, were still comfortable and stayed cool even on a scorching 100-degree day. The service was a mix of unenthusiastic and truly thoughtful gestures. The location, despite some street noise, was great for exploring the town and nearby attractions. The dining options were adequate but nothing extraordinary.
