The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa

Amazing place, wish we had spent more time there.

I had high hopes for my stay and was let down when my room wasn’t ready upon arrival and I wasn’t early. I was told to sit in the lobby to wait but instead I asked to be told about the property since it was my first time. When I asked where I could walk she suggested along the main highway 2.5 miles into town. This road is lined with businesses and has a speed limit of 45! My room was small and standard. Having a robe and rubber slippers helped set the comfy tone along with a magazine but all other amenities were average. For the price I’d expect a bit more space or a nice view (I looked out over the entrance and had to close the curtains or those walking by could see in my room) I was disappointed to see the carpet torn and frayed in the main hallway. I ended up taking a walk around the block and didn’t feel very comfortable or safe. It’s too bad the Inn isn’t in a more beautiful location in the valley. Of course the Watsu pool was grand for a nice float and made the experience unique!

Overall this a pleasant hotel with friendly staff and service, though I'm not sure it's worth the price tag. I found the bed too firm, but the spa is great.

The hotel, spa and restaurant are amazing!
