This motel was located close to the friends we were visiting and provided everything we needed, ie, the basics. Everything was clean and in working order. The room was on the small side, with not enough space for a comfortable chair (only 1 desk chair). The private, walled patio had sounded like a great amenity but it was useless because of traffic noise during the day and obnoxiously bright streetlights at night. The bed was comfortable and the shower & water pressure were good. The staff was friendly and helpful, with limited service. The neighborhood cafe adjacent to the property was surprisingly good, serving a truly excellent breakfast.
Mainly, the SCI offers a welcome relief from the exorbitant prices charged by most other lodgings in the Sonoma area. If you just need a good place to sleep and don't care about "resort" amenities, then this is a great little spot.
Sonoma is very expensive, so we stay in Boyes Hot Springs which is a 10 minute drive.
The Sonoma Creek Inn is a small motel style drive up Inn.
The office staff is friendly, the rooms are comfortable as are the beds.
We will stay here again for sure.
The room was a delight. Not only immaculate and comfortable but also decorated with a modern take on mis century modern. I loved the room. Do not be fooled by the old, motel exterior. This is a very nice place.
Great place to stay! Loved the 1930s California decor. Room very clean. Even though it's right by a busy street, at night it's very quiet - almost no cars going by. Dana at the front desk is a gem.
I would have wished for a microwaves (there is a refrigerator) and another wall plug by the desk. But that's all.
Charming small inn on the outskirts of town.
Easy friendly check in (early too!)
Compact clean and airy rooms.
Fan and aircon unit (noisy ish)
Comfy queen bed.
Lots of parking.
$10 Uber into the town - lots of them.
Great budget hotel out of the hustle and bustle of the main town.
Nice, very cute hotel. Super clean, comfy bed and the patio was very nice - much bigger then in the photos. Dana st check-in was adorable. She was friendly and helpful and very funny. Love this place.
This was our second stay. Everything was wonderful. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Good parking, breakfast place around the corner. Quiet. Nice check in staff. There was no need for a highchair. It is possible that if needed and asked for, one might be available.

We stay here every year. We like the location and price, it still feels very safe and the amenities are good. Nothing fancy, but proximity to the fanciness is great.

Rooms have wear and tear and there is a lot of dust on the walls. I really wish they would upgrade the infrastructure with exhaust fans in the bathroom to avoid mold. They really should examine their air/heating systems and replace or wash any filters.
Clean, stylish (though not affected), comfortable, economical. I was impressed and had a thoroughly nice time. The diner/cafe next door served an excellent breakfast. Great value.
Our room was adequate and a good value given the low price we paid midweek. However, there was a very strong ammonia-like smell when we arrived after hours. Had the office still been open, we would have requested a different room because it was so strong. We opened the window and turned on the ceiling fan which helped, but it did linger throughout the night. The area around the inn is fine, but it's not in the most desirable section of Sonoma. Also, the street behind the inn is quite busy so I expect that the rear patios could be noisy (we didn't have one).
