Its ok. Had to park across the street. Saturday night no parking. No water pressure in shower. Never seen a bar of soap so small. Maybe 2 oz of shampoo in tube. It was quiet and it was clean. We would rate it about 3.

This was one of the worst hotel stays I have ever had. I chose the Sonora Inn because in the pictures it looks pretty, classic, well cared for, and the location was great. Problems: 1) It is not well cared for. It is run down with seemingly little care to upkeep. Old, torn flags fly. 2)The building inside is a patchwork of remodels. 3) We were assigned a room that was very hard to get to, up and down stairs and around corners. 4) The bathroom in our room was closet sized and added on inside the room space. It was so small you could hit your head getting off the toilet. 5) The breakfast and breakfast area was so bad, it would have been better had they not had it. A staff person stood by the food to make sure you did not turn the knob on the toaster. There was no place to sit. We gave up and went down the street for coffee and bagel.

Will come stay here again!!!

The customer service here is impeccable! The staff went out of their way to treat the family and dog like their own family. The breakfast was nice had a variety of choices. The pool was so refreshing especially since it was so hot when we went. The only thing that could use some help was the room appearance. They are doing a good job preserving the orinal look but the bathtub tile was chipping and the toilet flushed very loud

Excellent Hotel Stay for a Couple

Highly recommend staying here with its central location in the downtown and nearby hiking and adventure sites. The room is fine for a couple, but somewhat long and narrow. The AC cooled the room well and was not in the bedroom which kept the noise down. Bed was comfortable. Strangely the front desk staff had a pattern of being distant or grumpy, but not that important an issue. Overall, this was a perfect place to stay after a late night concert at Ironstone in Murphys.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Property, which we were told was recently renovated, did not meet the same standards. we had a room with cracked tiles in the shower, holes in the wall where the towel racks had been removed and you had to lift the toilet seat to close the bathroom door. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Maybe my expectations were too much for a “historic” hotel in an old gold rush town.

People working there are the best. They are friendly and always provide excellent service. Hotel is old and smelly though. It needs a new carpet, or a good clean up.
