We truly felt like everyone wanted to make sure that we were happy and enjoying ourselves. When we checked in, it was well after midnight and I was tired. And cranky. After going to look at our first room, I was even crankier. It was a little small for a king bed, had a slight smell and was too close for the road. I trecked back to the front desk and asked about getting moved. Despite the fact that is was so late and I wasn't the happiest girl on earth, John (the night manager) was super accomodating, moving us to a room with a fire place. He was warm and friendly, never patronizing and we honestly felt like he just wanted us happy.
We were happier, but I still had my eye on the Mission suites at the back of the property. We upgraded the next morning, try and tell me it wasn't worth it.
Roaring fires morning and night. Yes, please.
Attached to the hotel was the Big Three restaurant. Patrick and I enjoyed breakfast here our first morning. It was the only thing that could have cheered us up after the sad news that our hot air balloon flight was cancelled due to high winds.
Also notable at the hotel was the spa. The Sonoma Mission Inn is one of the only hotels in the country built on natural hot springs. We enjoyed a day participating in the bathing rituals, getting a massage and then hanging out by the pool.
