Stayed 1 night

We loved this place so much that we stayed an extra night. The NIGHT STAFF (Viri & Christina: great meeting you!) were SO welcoming, personable and accommodating. This hotel isn’t just like any other chain hotel you can get in any city in the US. It has character specific to Sonora and is historic, yet has all the amenities and necessities of a modern hotel. And it’s right on the Main Street so you always have things to do and see. Only minor complaints are housekeeping came in without knocking and there are no ”do not disturb” door signs, and check out is 11am and if you ask to extend it you only get to 11:30. You can stay longer but have to pay $50 to stay until noon and then a full nights stay if you stay any later. But that’s only a problem if you’re a night owl/sleep in late like us. I will absolutely be back again!!

The photos of this hotel and the sister property across the street are mixed up. We booked the sister property but upon check in realized the difference and switched.

*I write this review as someone who travels for work, staying in up to 12 hotels per month, both domestically and overseas*: Despite having lived in Sonora, I had never stayed at the Sonora Inn until March of 2026. All these years, I had (falsely) assumed that being such a Sonora landmark, it would be at least satisfactory, if not exemplary. I was honestly shocked. Yes, we "get" the old-timey, quirky, Gold-rush era charm...but the rooms were "motel by the airport"-quality in every respect...including rickety furniture, cheap bedding, an open "closet" (just a rod, actually) and a bizarre, very dangerously designed bathroom, with a giant step up to the tub/toilet, then tub walls that came up to past the knees. Anyone with mobility issues would have been out of luck. There are also zero horizontal surfaces on which to place toiletries in the bathroom--I literally had to bring the lone chair from the room into the tiny bathroom to have somewhere to set things. When you have to rearrange a hotel room or bathroom to make it marginally functional...there's a serious problem. The cherry on top was, while trying to sleep in a bit the next morning, the front desk staff called my room and woke me up to ask if I had requested an iron. I had not...and then I couldn't get back to sleep. Also, beware that inside the rooms facing the street, you'll hear every vehicle that passes, stops at the stoplight, and then accelerates. My stay was underwhelming, to say the very least.

The Historic Sonora Inn is a lovely place to stay while visiting Sonora. We enjoyed the free breakfast and the swimming pool. Very friendly and accomodating front desk staff.
