The hotel is in need of refurbishing. It's tired. The tub didn't drain, wallpaper pealing, grounds not cleaned, and breakfast was minimal. Even though it is a historic building, it has been neglected.

We booked a city view room and got a room in the back in the dark with no parking. The room was grimy and loud. The breakfast was stale and the breakfast room was cluttered and cold. Extremely disappointing all around.

The one person staff waws very nice and helpful. The rooms are very dated and in somewhat disrepair, poor heating, poor water pressure. The shower water temp regulates on its own and there is no slip pads in the shower, very slippery. The heating is not good. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was surprisingly good with fresh cakes, pastries and bread, waffles if you wanted. The hotel is 175 years old and is full of history and antiques.

I was disappointed whenever I saw the actual property. By the pictures, I knew that it would probably be not perfect and not a four star hotel. But I figured it would be quaint. And it was quaint, but the room was gross. It needed to be painted The bedspread stains. I found a stink bug on the ceiling. There was no heat in the bathroom. it was just kind of a crazy place. And I later found out after arrival and it was the type of place where people go and stay weeks at a time that probably cannot get into an apartment However, the breakfast was all homemade and great, but otherwise the property was very ran down. I honestly felt like I was being watched my cameras. No, it was not good so I hope management sees this and cleans up the place because it’s in a Prime area right on the highway right in the middle of town.

This motel property is one of the oldest buildings in Sonora. The building has a lot of history and character from the gold rush days, which is still seen in the breakfast dining room. Unfortunately the hotel operator isn't maintaining the quality of the property. The room doesn't look like they do a thorough job in cleaning it. I had to clean the bedstand myself with some tissue paper and hand sanitizer. I should have brought my own Lysol. As others have said, the floors can be dirty - bring your own shower slippers. The towels appear a little stained, but overall still acceptable to use. I brought my own towels too so I didn't need to use their face towel. The bathroom toilet appears clean with toilet paper, toiletries, and soap when I stayed. The toilet handle, though, is broken and duct taped -- this is unacceptable. Also the room is a bit cold staying in the winter time. That's fine because the historic doors have cracks and the top could open independently of the bottom. I didn't use the heater because it's too noisy. I would expect that hotel operator to clean the heater filter at least. I brought my own sleeping bag for warmth. Some have said there is an odor to the room. I brought my own HEPA air purifier to use so that wasn't an issue for me.
