The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa

delightful

While it sounds like other reviewers have not been quite as pleased with the scale and "newness" of their standard room in the original inn, we foudn the Mission Suites to be absolutely wonderful. The generous size of the room with the large bath, sitting area, fireplace, and balcony made for an ideal retreat after touring the surrounding valleys. The service was excellent, everything was clean and the spa was incredible. Go enjoy.

Nice and comfortable - old style hotel

Would recommend this hotel and also stay there again if offering special rates. The have a new shuttle which will take you downtown which is very nice option to driving. Hotel is clean, spa and pools were nice. The hotel dinner restaurant is pricey but very good. Overall, we all enjoyed it.

Old worn-out hotel

It may still cary the name of e luxurious spa. Although I did not take any spa treatment (that may be superb, and expensive), the hotel rooms are worn-out, old smelly carpet, room view to the back of the kitchen, smells all night. You wake up at 5 am hearing the employees signing in to work. Crowded pool covered with trees, so the sun does not show up until noon. Staff was attentive, but not what one expects from a 4 stars hotel. If in Sonoma, stay in some of the beautiful boutique hotel in the plaza. May be not so well know, but certainly, centrally located and fun.

Honeymoon

We had an amazing stay! Love this place! The adult-spa pool is a great find!

Great Stay

This hotel is great. I loved everything. I found it at the last minute for a short trip to Napa. I was especially impressed with the concierge. At the last minute I needed quick directions to Sonoma and they gave me a short cut that allowed me to make my tour on time. I loved the spa. Didn't quite understand how they charged for services but I am sure it is written somewhere in the hotel or the room. I will return!

Brought tears

I reserved this room for my parents, and my dad told me that my mom literally cried when she walked into their room it was so beautiful.

Next time - only the Spa

This is a very beautiful hotel but I don't think it was worth the price. The room, once we finally got it, was nothing special and not anything one could get from a cheaper hotel except maybe the really soft sheets. I was surprised to not have our room ready when we arrived considering we didn't get there until a few hours after check-in. For our inconvenience they offered us a junior suite for $30 more. When we got to the room it was small for a suite. One bed and a fold out sofa that butted up against the fireplace for three people? It was too romantic for a bunch of gals on a spa break so we asked to go back to a "normal" room which seemed much nicer and roomier. They were quick and accommodating which was nice. As mentioned, the sheets were extra soft and the towels nice, clean, fluffy and big. The robes provided for use to walk over to the spa was very absorbing and comfortable. The spa was worth every penny. If you go to this hotel, it would be a shame to miss out on this experience. Even if you are not a "spa" person, take advantage of the mineral water and partake in the bath ritual. If you are traveling without children, the pools in the spa are a nice break from the screaming, jumping and splashing that goes on at the other pool. Really worth the visit and don't forget to float in the music pool. Really awesome.

Okay experience

Apparently some rooms have been renovated; however, our room was extremely musty and in desperate need of remodeling. Pool nice but honestly a little crowded given size of area. Food/drink service at pool fairly slow but quality of food was high. Overall, would not rush back there for the price.

Outstanding Hotel

The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn is located in beautiful surroundings. The beds are extremely comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. Two things to think about: room cleaning is supposed to be done by 4 but wasn't so plan accordingly and there is no elevator so have the front desk bring your bags up unless you packed lightly. The hotel is very family friendly.
