We love staying in older hotels in historic towns, and have stayed here before and liked it. While it isn't high end luxury, it is reasonably priced, comfortable, and has an elevator The breakfast is fine though not elaborate and the rooms are large enough and comfortable, The staff is courteous and helpful. Sonora and the surrounding Southern Gold Country area of Columbia, Jamestown is wonderful and is is reasonably close proximity to Yosemite as well.

A explanation in advance of where to park to check in (behind hotel) and the actual overnight parking (in the separate motel lot BEHIND the hotel).

The location was wonderful and so central. The reception staff were lovely and so helpful and attentive. Even while getting into the pool was a challenge, one of the staff walked us all the way up to ensure we were able to get in and enjoy the pool before the sun went down.

The issue with the keys getting into the pool was a bit frustrating but the staff made it into an easy fix. It would have been lovely to have a bit more space in the breakfast area - many families were just sitting in there after they had finished and it made it difficult to find a place to eat.

Recently updated inside. New paint, etc. An older historic hotel. Clean and met our three day stay needs well. The desk staff were all nice and helpful. The helped us out on several occasions. The downtown area is there for strolling , shopping, eating and bar hopping. Breakfast was nice, coffee was hot, food acceptable for a classic hotel self serve offering.

No complaints or suggestions.

We love it historic downtown location. We love the rooftop pool.

They gave the rooms some nice updates. However, we missed the charm of some of the older historic furnishings. They took away the table and chairs of the rooms that we enjoyed using to have coffee or meal.

Location. History. The pool.

We have always enjoyed staying here and this was our third time. We miss the table and two chairs that we had in our room before, where we could have our breakfast or lunch in our rooms. Or simply enjoy both sitting down.

The staff were extremely professional, friendly and accommodating. The location of the inn was perfect and the building was clean and well maintained.

The room was very small and there was a lot of road noise.

Wow! This place is TRULY HISTORIC. The main theme surrounding the Inn is “old downtown”. Old, but not run down. Breakfast offerings were varied and pretty straightforward. Sunny, well lit area.

Staff was kind and helpful, breakfast was yummy, rooms were clean.

The rooms were a little cramped, traffic was loud outside (it sounded like the window was open when it wasn't).

Beautiful hotel in an old town,friendly staff easy check in.

The water smelled and tasted like mold . They need to let people finish eating before shutting down the breakfast bar.

Denise or her name was Debbie I can't remember but she was super great. She offered her own phone charger when we asked if the desk had a charger for room. Friendly and helpful. I'll be coming back just because of her great service.

One lady at the desk in the morning said my rate was too low when I wanted to extend my stay 1 more night at the same rate I had the first night. I said do I have to go to another hotel. She did nothing to accommodate me. I used the same website to get even a better rate for the next day. She's bad for business.
