"Clean & Friendly"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The property is kept clean. There was a cute area for my service animal to relieve themselves and two benches to sit on. The breakfast was fresh and hot. My room was clean and fresh. Comfy queen bed with four amazing pillows. I stayed in Petaluma while visiting in Sonoma, it was an easy 20 min. drive. Much more reasonably priced. I would stay there again and recommend it as well.
