Great staff

We just stayed one night, but the room was great. very spacious. The one thing that stood out in my mind was the reception desk staff. He was very thorough and you felt that he wanted to make sure that everything was taken care of during your stay. I would go there again with no hesitation.

Sensational Sonoma!

This hotel had OUTSTANDING customer service! JT at the front desk was fun, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The continental breakfast was delicious and allowed for sleeping in and returning back to bed to relax prior to checking out. If you are looking for a weekend getaway stay at MacArthur Place!

Wonderful place to stay

This charming hotel is located very centrally near the Sonoma Square. Although it was too far for us to comfortably walk to dinner, there was plenty of parking at the square both during the day and night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was disappointed in the wine and cheese reception--I thought the wine was not good. We would gladly recommend this hotel to our friends.

Sonoma Trip

I think things started badly when our reservation was mysteriously canceled and had to be reopened by a phone call from [...]. Being an ex resort general manager I found they need a few lessons in hospitality. Maybe that's because they are an independant and don't have the standards of some upscale chains. The property itself was very nice and the spa was terrific.

A wonderful getaway

I felt much better about paying a ton of money to hear upon arrival that the room was "upgraded" to a deluxe king. The room and hotel grounds were splendid, as was the complementary continental breakfast. My girlfriend loved all the counterspace in the bathroom. I did read a comment in their guest book from a guest who thought their room by the main drag was very noisy so you might want to make sure your room is away from that.

I regret not trying the steakhouse as my girlfriend wasn't crazy about the cuisine at La Salette.

Wonderful Stay

Staff was very helpful, Room was beautiful and well appointed. Grounds were picturesque (many guests were taking photos of the beautiful plants and areas). Bed was very nice. A great get away! My only complaint is we only did a 1 hour massage!

Amazing Place

This is a great place to stay. We've stayed here before, and love it. This time wasn't quite as perfect as last year (but apparently they were just getting back into the swing from the off-season), but the hotel was as fantastic as ever. [...] the bartender at Saddles is awesome!!! Spa is lovely, and the women who work at the front desk are really terrific and go out of their way to make sure everything is ideal. If you are in the hotel, you simply must book a spa service -- you will love it.

Beautiful spot and great location

Took a self-guided bike tour through some of the Sonoma wineries. Bike shop a short walk from the Inn. Only unfortunate thing was that in the winter their first-rate steak house was closed on the days we were staying there.

Sonoma Spa Haven

The hotel was a wonderful wine weekend getaway that we all needed. The spa was fantastic and the little details like nightly wine and cheese made it over the top. Not sure it's worth the high season rates, but the low(er) winter rates were definitely spot on.
