MacArthur Place, Sonoma

MacArthur Place – Saddles event planners were fantastic to work with during the 14 months planning of my husband’s 50th class reunion from Sonoma Valley High School. The staff gets five stars! Every step of the way, the committee found the staff professional, friendly, and easy to work with. The night of the big event was amazing starting with cocktails and appetizers in their beautiful serene garden. The scene set the tone for an incredible evening enhanced by the ambiance and efficient friendly staff. The dinner was in their Rodeo banquet room decorated in elegant comfort. It was indeed a magical evening and we felt special. The smiling graduates and their guests enjoyed the delicious dinner, visiting old friends, and making new ones.

One of the best Hotle, one of the best in Sonoma, better then Fremons. Great resturant, great location, hotel is clean and great workers. One tip is to come prepared for the best room service in the world.

This place was such a disappointment for us. It was our 20th anniversary and we thought we had chosen a really nice place. The gardens were strewn with abstract metal art which completely ruined the tranquil feeling one would normally get from being around nature. We were promised a room overlooking the gardens as if it would be a special room. We received a first floor room next to the parking lot. At check in, when I questioned this, I was told that "well, all of the rooms overlook gardens as the gardens are everywhere." We had to keep our windows closed because of people constantly walking by. The room smelled of fresh paint which was nauseating. The robes hanging in the closet were wrinkled. The website is very deceiving. My main point is that it was way, way overpriced.

We booked this room last minute on their website and received a wonderful 3 day special rate. The room and location were perfect to the pool/spa area. The wine tastings were wonderful, with excellent wine selections with people from the winery. The host from the Inn was there also to make suggestions for dinner and asking about our day. Morning breakfast (no charge) was perfect(the waiters were very professional and helpful). The spa was great too. The Inn was only a short walk to Sonoma square, which allowed us to walk to our dinners each night. From check-in to check-out everything was handled professionally. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will return again!

The service was hardly the level of a 2-star hotel. When we checked-in, there was no one to help us with our luggage up to our 2nd floor room. When we mentioned this at check-out, the director of operations seemed confrontational and did not seem to care, and even after our comments, he did not offer assistance on check-out. We stayed in one of the most expensive suites ($475/night). The room was nice, but for the price, we could have had a better room at one of the chains with excellent service. The a/c was set too high, and we found spiders in the room. We had to call housekeeping for someone to make-up our room. Our 40-jet tub was nice the first day, but the second day, a part was replaced, without our knowledge, so when we used it the 2nd day, water sprayed all over the bathroom. There is no door to the shower, and no newspapers are provided at your suite. The continental breakfast was good, but a hot breakfast would have been better. The fitness center is very small. The hotel is situated by a high-traffic street (hwy 12/Broadway St.), and you can hear the cars at night. It is also located across from a used car lot. The hotels in Napa are much better for the price.

The rooms are beautiful and large. A walk around the gardens is a must. My husband and I love the gardens so much we were married there. The staff was the greatest they exceeded our expectations. Having friends and family stay there made the festivity so much fun. Very close to the City center plaza where you can shop see a movie, wine or cheese taste. Lots of wineries also in the area. After all it is Sonoma. The Inn also serves wine and cheese after check in.

The service was excellent! We stayed here the night we got married and it was perfect! The staff was very friendly and treated us like royalty. Our check in was quick as well as our check out. The suite we stayed in was beautiful! It was nice, quiet and relaxing, just what we needed after planning a wedding and getting thru the whole process. We can't wait to go back and stay again!

My husband and I had a nice escape here. Very quiet - great spa, and the restaurant was pretty good too.

This is a great place for a romantic weekend getaway. It has some historic charm. My husband and I stayed here for a weekend and explored Sonoma. We brought our bikes (you can rent them at the desk also) and had a great time biking through the neighborhoods to the square and to General Vallejo's home (an interesting historical landmark).

The service at the Inn was extremely friendly. The gardens were beautiful. There is even a cute library where you can borrow books and DVD's.
