Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn

The room was very nice - roomy and with a huge whirlpool tub that we enjoyed. Only compromise re: the tube is that there was only a handheld shower that you had to be seated to use, but I was happy to make that trade-off (there was a shared bath down the hall with a standard shower that we could have used as well). There is some street noise to deal with - I wasn't bothered by it, but I can see that if someone was very sensitive to that kind of thing it could be a problem.

I usually don't take the time to write a review, but this B&B was so outstanding I feel compelled to write. First Darla and Angela are the greatest A+ host, cooks and really make one's stay enjoyable. I can't wait to get back there to visit. The rooms are comfortable and up to date. The breakfast both mornings were both delicious and served on beautiful dishes. Having looked around Sonoma, this B&B is the best value in town without a doublt!

Darla and Angela were wonderful. Plan to go back and stay again.

Darla is the sweetest innkeeper and is extremely knowledgeable about the area/ Angela is a superb cook and we thoroughly enjoyed both breakfasts.

Great B&B, would definitely go back! It was close to downtown square but the city is so small anyway. Rooms clean and equipped with everything! Breakfast was a casserole, apple crisp and fruit parfait and it was delicious!

Spent a night at Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn B &B, Sonoma. Beautiful home, great check-in and very comfortable and lovely room. Best pancakes I have every eaten. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

I am a bit of f a b&b snob, so my expectations are probably much higher than most guests. However, Cinnamon Bear was a very nice b&b and Darla was very welcoming. The downside was that the b&b is located on busy Highway 12 and so there was a lot of traffic noise in our room Definitely get a room on the back of the house. We were also a bit disappointed that there weren't any freshly baked muffins or bread in the morning, but as I said we have been very spoiled! Bottom line, it was a fantastic value, and very nice.

We had never stayed in a B&B before and were a little hesitant because I knew in the morning we would be sat with strangers for breakfast, and I'm not super gregarious. However, our breakfast companions, Earl and Judy were absolutely delightful. We stayed 2 nights and were very pleased with the room, bathroom, and cleanliness. The bed was sooooo comfy, and the bathroom was nicely updated. Better than expected for an old farmhouse. Good water pressure. The other residents were so considerate because we never heard a peep from anyone, but there were at least a dozen people staying there. The floors were wooden so if someone were heavy footed or a loud talker we would have heard them (thank you, Other People!). The windows weren't soundproof, but all we heard was cars going past, and the rain, so it didn't bother us one bit.. If you go there, just don't expect soundproofing. I can't say enough good things about the breakfast and coffee. To get a breakfast that good at a restaurant would have cost us $25 minimum, and it was such a great start to the day. What a cook!!! We WILL be going back. The location was fantastic, we were treated very well, and we didn't find a value like that anywhere else in Sonoma. The best part of all, we got hugs upon checkout, completely free of charge. I'm a sucker for a deal like that.

I stayed for a week on business. The place is clean, quiet and they make you feel right at home. The beds are comfortable. The breakfast is very good although the extra charge for seconds of coffee or breakfast is a little unexpected. They have a nice quiet little garden out back for sitting or working or whatever. It was a very nice stay and Cici and Darla make you feel like one of the family and have good information on everything in Sonoma. Thank you!!

Wonderful people and hospitality - no complaints! The different breakfasts served each day were amazing! It is very obvious that the Owners relish the opportunity to provide wonderful accommodations at a very reasonable price. Darla always seemed to have answers to our questions (cuz we were out of towners). We will be back!

Lovely inn -- innkeeper, Darla, makes you so comfortable. Tasty breakfast. Clean & well-kept.

We booked a two night stay after some time in San Francisco. We paid about $430 for two nights, Thursday and Friday. The house is lovely, very clean, and staff is friendly. But we encountered some strangeness. For one thing, a member of staff couldn't figure out how to open up a futon in another room. She knocked on our door as we were napping before dinner to ask for our help. We obliged and then headed back to bed. But once we were there, someone (to this day I don't know who) decided to start hanging pictures, or building a gazebo. Or something. All I know is there was banging, banging, banging that went on for quite some time. The hammering seemed unnecessary. Granted, it was around 6 p.m., so we were probably the only ones trying to sleep, but staff was aware that we were trying to sleep, because I'd both mentioned our desire to nap and appeared noticeably sleepy when she knocked on the door for help with the futon. I'd still go back, since I imagine these two scenarios won't re-present themselves, but I thought I'd note them. One other note was that we missed breakfast one morning because the cook was a little slow and we had an early appointment at a winery some distance away. Staff members scrambled to get us some fruit and toast, which we appreciated.

Stayed for two nights at the Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn. Enjoyed it very much, especially hanging out with Darla. Bed was a little high, but otherwise was comfortable. Very nice bathroom. Food was tasty, but we had to leave early before our breakfast on day 2.

Excellent location, very clean, delicious breakfast, outstanding service, very good value.

The Cinnamon Bear was a perfect location for our stay in Sonoma. The Inn is clean, the staff helpful and the breakfast was plentiful. Our only complaints are the hard bed, lack of any soundproofing and the breakfast wasn't served until 9:00. We would stay there again despite the minor negative details.

The inn was good but the service was great. Darla made everything better and was helpful in navigating the area.

Excellent breakfast & staff. Good room & bed. Traffic noise from street is annoying. No newspaper!

The Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn B&B in Sonoma was a welcome surprise. Darla and Angela were extremely helpful -- the hugs were genuine. We will drop by in the future to enjoy the hospitality. Thanks.

Great value, very helpful and friendly staff, good location, very pleased with our stay

This was my first time at a B&B so I cannot compare this to any other places. But I really enjoyed it, the staff was extremely nice, breakfast was delicious. The room was really nice, no issues at all. Plus they give a complementary wine tasting card, which lets you wine taste all around for free!

Lovely common rooms, good breakfast. Manager was very friendly & helpful BUT our room was very tight, and the bed was extremely high (off the floor) so that I had trouble getting in it even when using a footstool.

Traveling to Sonoma for a wedding and was not familiar with the area- chose the Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn after reading the reviews from other guests. It was the perfect choice. I was able to see several other accomodations in the area since family and friends were staying all over for the wedding, and I would definately go back to the Cinnamon Bear when I return to Sonoma. It is only a few blocks from the center plaza of Sonoma, so convenient. The room was so spacious too. I travel frequently and the room and inn itself was clean beyond my expectations. While the accomodations themselves were outstanding, the service and staff are what made my stay so great. Both innkeepers were the sweetest women and so welcoming, and the breakfast they made each morning was incredible. They are what made this a such a lovely memory i know i will always keep close to me, so thank you Darla and Angela!

Darla, the morning chef and greeter was superb. Compared to more full service boutique hotels in area, this B7B was slightly over priced. Great bed - good night's sleep.

Darla was great -- she provided very useful information for touring surrounding wineries. Sonoma is a delightful town as well.

Such a cute place. My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights while on a week long trip in CA. We wished we could have stayed for longer! Darla and crew were so kind.

Both Angela and Darla are wonderful! They are friendly, warm, helpful, and accommodating. The house was comfortable and very tastefully decorated, and everyone staying there seemed to feel very comfortable mingling in the common area. There is some road noise, but you are definitely within walking distance of the Town Center for dining, shopping and wine tasting. We absolutely recommend it!

We stayed for 2 nights over Labor Day weekend and the staff was helpful with ideas and suggestions for things to do. The free wine tasting card was helpful too.

We had a room up front, and the street noise was quite loud. Bathroom needs updating and wasn't completely clean when we got there. Otherwise, the bed was very comfortable, the breakfasts were quite good. Staff was very welcoming.

The folks at Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn were so hospitable, so helpful, so kind. THey treated us like long lost family (actually better than some family)..and made our stay in Sonoma memorable. We loved it and can think of nowhere else we would stay when we return. THe accommodations were wonderful, the food heavenly and the atmosphere wonderful. THANK YOU

Warm, friendly welcome. Room clean and comfortable bed. Hosts, Darlene & Angela fantastic hosts & great company. Wonderful homemade food and excellent breakfast.

Good breakfast. Nice room, but too much light & noise for a comfortable sleep.

The innkeepers were very friendly and helpful! The inn is conveniently located.

The Cinnamon Bear was a wonderful choice for our Sonoma visit. Centrally located with updated rooms, comfortable beds, amazing breakfast and accommodating staff.

My daughter and I booked the king bed room for two nights in July. What a lovely little property! The bed was very comfy, the room was clean, the bathroom was roomy and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very nice and the house always seemed to smell of freshly baked cookies. The rose garden out front next to the parking area was lovely. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this inn to anyone. It was a delightful experience!

My boyfriend and I stayed here & it was a very clean & friendly atmosphere. The owner cooked a delicious breakfast & we were able to meet a lot of the other guests who were friendly as well!

This was our first time at a B&B. It felt like home! Very cozy and clean. Staff was nice and friendly. We rented a bike and rode to nearby wineries and Sonoma Square within minutes.

My wife and I enjoyed our two days at Cinnamon Bear. It was very homely and spotlessly clean and we were made particularly welcome. We has access to the kitchen fridge for cold water and ice. There was a lovely garden at the rear in which we could relax. The two breakfasts we enjoyed were great. The hostess made a particular effort to make it a memorable breakfast for July 4th. morning.She was very genuine in wanting us to enjoy our stay and even was there to say a sincere goodbye. We also had free access to a computer.

Had a pleasant one-night stay. Room was clean and fairly spacious, and we liked having private access. Also in a great location, as it was a 10-15 min walk to Sonoma Square. Would consider staying here again.

A friendly, welcoming B&B with excellent public areas on the ground floor. Our bedroom was a little bit tired, but it was very clean and adequate for our 2 night stay.

Very nice B & B. Breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. Staff was very friendly. The room was very clean. Good location to downtown Sonoma. My only complaint was that the room was located in the front of the hotel, on the first floor, with Highway 101 out front, which was very noisy throughout the night.

Breakfast was to be served to all of the guests at the same time. We had an appointment for a winery tour in Napa and the staff was kind enough to bring out our food as it was ready, one course at a time, so we could get out the door in time. Very kind.

We spent 3 days at Cinnamon Bear in June. Both Darla and Angela were delightful hosts. Breakfast was delicious and served with a smile. The centre of Sonoma is an easy 15 minute walk to enjoy the many fine restaurants, bars and wineries. We received a complementary wine tasting card which was an added bonus.

After reviews from trip advisor from 2009 and then again in 2011, we decided to give this B&B a try since new management appeared to have substantially improved the reviews. The only exception to the review was the distance to the town center of Sonoma. We expected a short walk to the square, however, the distance was much further than expected, and necessitated driving to the square. Upon late arrival (due to plane), a welcoming note was placed on the door with our name. To our surprise, we were greeted by Darla, who welcomed us like family to her home. She even called our favorite restaurant at that late hour and managed a reservation for us. We were shown the breakfast room, kitchen (with a guest refrigerator and kitchen items to freely use), and to our room upstairs. The king size bed actually drew us to this B&B with a private bath. The bed, room and space for clothes was terrific. The only complaint would be the towels which could certainly be upgraded since they were thin and scratchy, and adding a small bottle of conditioner along with the shampoo. Breakfasts were so well presented and prepared by both Darla and Angela who are amazing cooks! The presentation was carefully crafted and an added touch of the B&B's grape leaves or herbs from the garden. Darla, whose talents includes friendly outgoing charm, also loves to share her conversation, B&B friendliness and knowledge of the surrounding area with recommendations that took us to a 1400 foot wine tasting at a local winery we did not expect! After noticing the orange tree outside of the front door, we were encouraged to pick our own. Our stay was so memorable, we hope to return in the near future, thanks to Darla and Angela!

The host/owner of Cinnamon Bear, Dalah, was so sweet and adorable and prepared the most delicious breakfast in the morning. Cinnamon Bear is a greatly located, cute cosy B&B and if time permitted, we would have definitely stayed more than our one night there.

The Inn was nice, but somewhat unremarkable. The accommodations were clean, the the rooms were a little noisy. Staff also seemed a little un-coordinated with each other.

My husband and I stayed here for only one brief night- but everything was fantastic! Breakfast is normally 9-9:30, but we informed the owner that we needed to leave by 9:00 to make our Bike n' Wine tour on time and she graciously made us a special breakfast early! Just note that the location is about 1 mile from the town square, so a car or bike is useful. Otherwise, the price cannot be beat for the level of service a the Cinnamon Bear!

The owners were very welcoming and accommodating. The room we stayed in was large and comfortable. Enjoyed the experience and would come back soon.

Darla was incredible ... I arrived late but had a note with my key available. Meals were delicious and they compensate for my gluten free issues. The house was incredibly clean and Darla was a wealth of information on the area. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful place - clean, super friendly hosts and very cute, quaint rooms. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Sonoma.

We recently spent several days in Sonoma, and we were pleasantly surprised by the friendly and accommodating service at the Cinnamon Bear. The inn is within walking distance of the Sonoma square, and Darla's friendliness and excellent customer service made our stay enjoyable and memorable. She recommended wineries and places to visit, and she provides maps and other helpful information. The inn is in a central location in terms of downtown Sonoma, wineries, and shopping. We walked to the square from the inn, and were also able to walk to several other stores. Our room was nice, and we enjoyed meeting other guests at breakfast. We would definitely visit the Cinnamon Bear again.

This Cozy Inn makes you feel like you're home away from home. Darla cooks a mean breakfast (ask for the peach french toast) for sure! The entire staff is wonderful and extremely helpful as well. Good prices, Good People, Great Food! what more can you ask for!

Everything was great at the B&B except that my room was close to the road. About 4 or 5 AM I would get woken up by cars and could not get back to sleep. I suggest better noise proof windows for this room.

Very friendly innkeepers. Comfortable space, clean, and felt welcoming. We enjoyed our stay here. They upgraded our room because they noticed I was tall and fit in a king bed better. Nice! Breakfast was satisfactory - not gourmet, but maybe like your mother would cook. We would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights after having read other reviews here. One thing to note is that the breakfast — while good — is served from 9 to 9:30 am only. If you plan early morning activities or laze around in bed too late, I was told: "all you'll get is a smile." The breakfast was delicious and was different each day -- but everyone gets the same entree and it's all served within that 30-minute window of time. Dining with other guests is quite nice though, and the tables are beautifully set. They offer refreshments in the afternoon, but surprisingly (at least to me) was that, despite being in the midst of dozens of wineries, no local wine was offered. They did have a guest refrigerator and pointed us to the wine glasses/openers that they make available for wine you've purchased elsewhere -- but it was more BYOB than I'm used to at $200+/night. As for the room itself, we found the comments about noise to be true. Our room (at the top of the stairs) had very old windows and you could easily hear the outside traffic. The bed was SUPER high, which was fine for us, but an elderly person would never be able to get in/out of it. The bathroom was small, basic and uninspired. So, would we go back there? Probably not. The breakfast was good and the room was OK, but the ladies running the place seemed to want guests to operate on their timetable. I think we were looking for a bit more charm and graciousness.

Location is outstanding, such a short distance from the main square. Our host is also extremely gracious (and talkative!). She provided a card for free wine tastings throughout Sonoma, in addition to maps and other information. Breakfast was outstanding. Rooms were fine, as were bathrooms.

We arrived around noon (before check-in) and Angela and Darla were extremely helpful in letting us place our bags in the room (before it was fully-ready). They gave us information about the local wineries (and a card with some free tastings!) and recommendations for dinner. Our room was clean and had a huge bed (seemed even larger/wider than a King). The next morning we had a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended!

Darla, the host, was very helpful and knowledgeable! Lot of good tips on the area. Delicious breakfast!

This B&B is wonderful. Amazing breakfast dishes, very clean, great furnishings, lovely garden area, outstanding hospitality, very reasonable rate, and good location. I'd recommend it highly unless you're a really light sleeper. It's located on a main road and we heard the traffic all night. Earplugs would help. Still a great experience and the most reasonably priced B&B in the area.

I was recently in the Napa/Sonoma area for a trip with my fiancee before my baby is born in a few months. Came across The Cinnamon Bear Inn online and it looked lovely so booked it last minute..was happy to find something so quickly. Upon arrival was a little suprised to find it located on such a busy road, but once inside it was quiet and cozy and you could not hear the traffic at all. Our host was very helpful and gave us great suggestions on restaurants and a card with free wine tastings for the area. Our room was looking out onto the hills and trees and was very quaint and clean and cozy. Now the breakfast. Holy moly it was good! It was my birthday and the breakfast was indeed a special treat. A french toast like no other made by the cook Angela. Delicious!! Came with fresh orange juice and tea and coffee. If you are lucky enough to try this delicacy you will never forget it! Angela herself was very engaging and chatted to her guests during breakfast and we hugged as we said our farewells.! We left with a smile and a new friend.

After having our car broken into earlier in the day, Cinnamon Bear was just perfect, especially the jacuzzi tub for 2!

We had a spur of the moment trip to Sonoma and stayed at the Cinnamon Bear Inn. The staff was very helpful and very pleasant. The breakfast was quite good. The location is close to town and I would stay there again.

Very charmy and peaceful and clean. Friendly staff! Recomend!

The Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn is a great buy. It is within walking distance (probably only summertime...long walk) of a bunch of great restaurants and shops in the heart of Sonoma. Only a few miles up the road is a road called Trinity road which is a beautiful drive up over the mountains to Napa Valley. Trinity Road is very windy but the views are breathtaking. Napa Valley, where all of the well known wineries are, is about a 30 minute drive from the B&B. The B&B itself was very clean and the staff was very friendly. Breakfast was served every morning at 930 am sharp and the food was amazing. The seating is shared by all of the guests but it doesn't feel awkward. The room was very clean and again, very homy. We had our own private entrance and were able to come and go as we pleased all hours of the day. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good B&B to stay and it comes with a free tasting at roughly 30 different wineries in Sonoma Valley.

Check-in is between 3 and 6, but we weren't going to make it until about 7. There were zero hassles, and we still received the warmest welcome one could ask for....it was almost as if we were family! Before booking we read some online comments and noticed one that recommended booking a back room to avoid traffic noise....I don't remember hearing much traffic noise while standing near the front to begin with, but the a back room did provide us with zero noise. The rooms were very clean, and each had their own bathroom. Breakfast was gourmet, and excellent! If you want to feel right at home, and you want to be well fed before heading off to the vineyards, this is the place to go. Overall...5 stars for us!

Cinnamon Bear Inn is charming and a very good value for Sonoma. It's close to the Square and shopping/wine tasting and dining. The parking was a little challenging, but other than that, a pleasant Inn for a weekend away.

We were pleasantly surprised at our stay. Rooms were comfortable. The facility was clean and well kept. We did notice that the room facing the street had some street noise. But it didn't keep me from having a great night's sleep.

Spent two nights at the Cinnamon Bear while on a two-week tour of California. On arrival we were upgraded to a king-size at no extra charge, and the room was very spacious & clean with a very comfortable bed. It was also at the back of the inn, so quieter, which we appreciated. breakfasts were delicious & filling! Daria & Angela are great hosts.

My wife and I stayed here for a couple of nights mid-week. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. We stayed in the Ms Holiday room I believe which was very tidy, on the ground floor (easy to access) with a huge bathroom including a spa. It is also the quieter of the rooms I believe and has a separate entry. The host Darla is super lovely and helpful. She is knowledgable about the area and a good conversationalist. She cooks a hearty breakfast for you in the morning too. On the days we were there we had choc chip pancakes one morning and a spanish omelet the next. Things you should know: - It's a little out of town ~15min and close to Hwy 12 which can make it a little noisy at night though how noisy depends on your room. - There's a really great walk into town along a bike path a little east along Hwy 12.

The town of Sonoma has a much friendlier, local feel than it's neighbor, Napa. The Cinnamon Bear was awesome and only a mile walk from downtown Sonoma. Darla and her crew were wonderful to us in every way. I would stay here again many times.

I found the reviews here to be accurate. Plusses: innkeeper Darla is very sweet, refrigerator available for guests, tea and cookies in the afternoons, the rooms are very clean, some have more privacy than others. (Ms. Holiday and Ella's are the best for privacy,) location is central to wineries and town, met some really terrific people at breakfast. Negatives: walk to the square in the Winter is not well lit, but OK for the daytime... about a mile, you do get some street noise as it is on a fairly busy intersection, breakfast is from 9:00am to 9:30am. If you aren't there when it is served, you are out of luck, there wasn't early check-in the day we arrived, no one was there to answer to door until 3pm.

Excellent stay here and I highly recommend. The only drawback and it is slight, the location of the Inn to Highway 12. Sits right adjacent to the highway and for some, the vehicle noise at night may be too much. Ask for the Ms. Holiday room right off the kitchen. The service was beyond excellent, thanks Darla.

The main issue with our room was that it was on the side of the house facing, and close to, the road, which is a main thoroughfare. It was incredibly noisy until late at night (after midnight), and started up again before 6 AM. The room was very nicely decorated, and the bed comfortable. The heating in the room was inadequate.

Convenient location, but can be a little noisy from traffic being located at a busy intersection in Sonoma.

Everything was fine , we chose a room toward the back of the inn bcause of road niose.

Good value about a mile from the Sonoma town center. Easy walk to town and a great value for the location. Recommended.

This B&B was such a lucky find! Very helpful hosts (Will and Darla) and excellent breakfast (Angela and Alicia). Clean, cozy, great value! A word to the owner: please, keep the old Orange tree in the front! It lends so much charm to the parking lot. Thank you!

Friends had stayed at the Cinnamon Bear and with their recommendations we booked a two night stay. We really enjoyed our stay - but it was too short!! Breakfast was wonderful - we really enjoyed the 'cowboy christmas breakfast'! The rooms were clean and comfortable. The bed was large and we slept extremely well. We will stay again next time we are in Sonoma!

We showed up early but they got us in immediately anyway. Stayed only one night. Breakfast was fantastic. Good recommendations on wine tastings and local dining. Room was a bit small but otherwise excellent.

This bed and breakfast was the only place that would let us make a reservation for one night (many places in Sonoma have two night requirements). They were reasonably priced, but most importantly, the owners are such sweethearts! Extremely nice and accommodating! The rooms were nice, and the whole place feels very homey. A thumbs-up!

We stayed at this inn for a couple nights in October 2011. The inn keeper was just lovely, offering friendly advice while also leaving us to do our thing. Breakfast was delicious. As for the inn itself - the whole place was beautiful -decorated with a modern eye as well as an appreciation for historic pieces. It's a 15 minute walk from downtown Sonoma which was fine for us but may be a little far for others.

A very warm welcome and helpful advice about where to eat, plus a free wine tasting pass to lots of local wineries - all in all a recipe for a very pleasant stay.

We had to leave early for a flight out and breakfast is served only at 9:00 a.m.

Nice B&B with a good breakfast - but. Bring your earplugs. The road noise in the room was excessive. Breakfast is served between 9 - 9:30. If you want to eat at a different time you are out of luck. WiFi in the room didnt work. TV remote control was less than effective.

This B&B was wonderful. The breakfasts were served each morning at 9am, food was fabulous! Great service, staff was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this B&B.

Nice place that doesn't look like every teddy-bear, lace-lined B&B that one usually comes across. Mission style with lots of wood. Prefer Cinnamon Bear to the Sonoma Hotel B&B for its design. Sonoma Hotel was a little too 'granny' for a guy's taste. Close to Sonoma square, faces a major street and walking to restaurants is close 1 mile - during the day - but walking back at night not a good idea. Everything is pitch black. A taxi runs about $7 however. Nice outdoor area but fell far short of the plush pool-lined landscape of our Napa B&B or the English garden of our Cambria B&B we've stayed at. Food was enjoyable, but fell short of our three-course Napa breakfast and our- made-from-scratch Cambria B&B breakfast that was featured in the Inns compilation cookbook. Service and the Inn keepers were very nice. Outstanding perk - the B&B wine passport card that allows FREE tasting at area vineyards - probably saved $100-$150 over the course of two days - OUTSTANDING value and an absolute MUST if you are wine tasting. The primary reason I would stay here again or at an area B&B that offers this perk.

Lovely B & B centrally located in Sonoma. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The parking area is better suited for smaller vehicles-wished we hadn't driven our big truck.

The staff were a bit strange when I checked in, and they had trouble computing my bill for three nights (!). The price is a bit expensive but it is a good price for the area. If you have any dietary restrictions, be sure to tell them because they will work hard to accommodate your breakfast needs!

Arrived 1 hour earlier than the (apparently) strict check in time of 3 PM for a wedding being held close by. We were told it was too early, and asked to come back, even though friends who were already there said there were rooms open and ready to occupy. We then had to scramble to get ready for the wedding, the extra hour would have been nice.

Warm and inviting. Clean. Tastefully decorated. Comfortable.

Just stayed the one night but wish it had been longer.Lovely rooms,spotlessly clean,and a very good breakfast.We were made extremely welcome and made to fell at home.Nice touches like wine glasses and bottle opener on request and use of fridge.Little far walking into town but a good taxi service.Some may feel the road outside is a little busy but it didn't bother me.Would definitely revisit

Darla and Angela were wonderful hosts and cooks. They made our 4-day stay a very pleasant experience. They went out of their way to be sure that we had what we needed. The air-conditioning worked very well on our hot days. The Inn is very homey and comfortable. Love the colors and the wood floors. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend the Cinnamon Bear Inn to anyone. Mary E. from Minnesota

Convenient location to Sonoma Plaza, lovely gardens, pleasant room, nice staff and adequate breakfast.

My mom and I stayed only for one day, but got the best service in that one day alone compared to many other places we've stayed at. The rooms were charming with so much character. And the breakfast was lovely, prepared with love :)

This B&B was great -- Terri & Darla made us feel very welcome; the room was beautifully redone, and the price was unbeatable for the area!

We enjoyed our stay! The staff was friendly and helpful in planning our days. Couple of downsides were no air conditioning or windows that worked and/or had screens. We had to stick a shoe in the window to keep it up and open. It was pretty warm so more air would have been nice.

We had a fabulous stay at Cinnamon Bear. Darla was a fantastic host, and I'd thoroughly recommend staying there.

Terry & Darla made us feel very welcome. Clean, private rooms & great food. On a busy street but convenient to everything Sonoma.

As our first visit to Sonoma we did not know what to expect. After staying at Cinnamon Bear Creek our expectations have been set. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in the door and Darla was exceptional, answeing all of our questions and giving advice on what to do, eat and see. Our room was much larger than we expected and the house was very nicely decorated. Breakfast was outstanding and service was great. When we visit the area again, we will be staying at Cinnamon Bear Creek!!

My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay -- Darla greeted us warmly and provided all the info we needed about Sonoma. The breakfast was delicious too!

Inn was well-maintained & innkeepers were very friendly. Breakfast was tasty but options were limited (only 1 option really) -- would be nice to have things like granola, cereal, fruit, meat, and a table too.

Our first trip to Sonoma, so we chose this location online. It is centrally located, although you probably wouldn't walk tp the plaza. The place is very nice and very comfortable. Our room was perfect--comfortable and quiet, we didn't hear other guests or street noise. The gals working were delightful and helpful. Breakfast was a true gourmet breakfast. We will stay again, hopefully soon!

the best part of our stay at the Cinnamon Bear was the staff. Their warmth and willingness to help us with planning our sightseeing was outstanding. And they're great cooks!

We spent one night at the Cinnamon bear while we were in town for a friend's wedding. Terri & Darla accommodated us with an early check in. Loved the inn, the garden, everything!

Cinnamon Bear was the perfect place for our 1 day getaway. It's close enough to the plaza, clean and quiet, and fairly priced. Loved the hostesses and delicious breakfast.

We really enjoyed our two night stay at the inn. Our inkeeper was very nice and made us feel like home and the room and dining area was very clean. The location was perfect for what we wanted to do. If I were to come back to this area I would most certainly want to stay there again.

Rooms were very warm when we arrived. It took a while to cool down. Rooms were very nice. Great breakfast and coffee in the morning. Free wine tasting vouchers were a nice bonus. Very hospitable over all.

My husband made the arrangements at this fantastic gem of a bed and breakfast on his own as part of our California vacation. From start to finish, our stay was wonderful. If you want a beautifully appointed, ultra clean, especially friendly and helpful place to stay in the middle of wine country, this is the place for you. Incidently...the little cupcakes and iced tea in the afternoon really hit the spot. Thanks Darla for everything!!!!

The B&B is a hidden gem. The inn is small and very homey with lots of little touches to makeit pleasant and charming. Our room was very comfortable androomy, and sparkling clean. The staff is very friendly, helpful and accomodating. The breakfasts were lovely presented in a beautiful dining room, whitelinen tablecloths, pretty table settings. We got delicious, homemade ,full breakfasts. They also provided an afternoon snack. Thoroughly enjoyable stay. would stay there again.

How much you like Cinnamon Bear may depend on what you're looking for in a B&B. It's not in an idyllic location offering peace and quiet (it's on a busy, main road and has significant road noise), nor easy walking distance to the town square (you could walk it, but it would be a bit of a hike). But Teri is nice, the bed was comfortable, and the room is very clean. Only hiccup we had was miscommunication over breakfast--when Teri told us breakfast was at 9, we thought that meant it started at 9. But no, breakfast was at 9, so we missed it because we got downstairs after 10. We aren't experienced B&B stayers, so that may be standard for B&Bs, but we were a bit taken off guard and disappointed (we could see our breakfast sitting on the kitchen counter behind Teri, and it looked good). So, it was an okay experience, but not sure we would stay again.

The bed was very comfortable hostesses were wonderful. Small parking lot for various SUVs that had to park there.

We stayed for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Darla the inn-keeper was as gracious and hospitable as one could be. Breakfast was good but not spectacular, and the rooms are very nice but by no means luxurious. As a guest you get a Sonoma valley B&B association wine tasting card, which grants you free tastings at over thirty Sonoma valley wineries! If you're there to taste - as we were - this will save you heaps of money (over two days of tasting we saved $120!). All in all this is very nice place to stay, and great value for money. One last note - If you're travelling to Sonoma during summer (May through September) try to plan your trip so you're there on a Tuesday. There's an amazing farmers market in the plaza (which is about a mile from the cinnamon bear) every Tuesday afternoon/evening which is full of fresh produce, tasty food, and a lovely family/community feel to it. Worth a visit alone!

We were greeted by a very friendly, informative inn keeper. After giving us the necessary information, she took us to our room. The room was VERY small and had a lot of outside noise coming from the street. It was clean and nicely furnished though. We stayed two nights and had a different, well-balanced and tasty breakfast each morning. Our overall rating would be a 4/5, but only due to the room issues.

We stayed in a Queen sized bedroom, which didn't have enough room around the bed. The bathroom/jacuzzi was ok, but we would have preferred a proper shower, as you had to kneel in the bath to use the bath attached hand shower. The breakfast had only one vegeterian choice and was at 9am prompt.

Darla was fantastically nice and helpful. A very good deal in an overpriced little town, and right in the middle of wine country.

It was a pleasant stay. Did not particularly like the breakfasts. Stairs are steep, I am old and the bags were heavy. Room was clean, bath facilities are added to an old home and reminded me of an old garage apartment I stayed in in the 60's. Personnel were pleasant. We like to get coffee before 8:30 AM and breakfast at 9 is a little late for us. After traveling through several time zones, we were ready to start the day at 5 AM. Several guests had to leave before breakfast was served. Bed was comfortable and the sound of traffic did not bother us despite fact that B&B is on a main road thru town. While it was not a disaster by any means, we would not stay here again.

The two ladies who ran the establishment were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great. Would have liked a glass of wine in the evening, most of the b&bs I've stayed in did this.

Booked 2 nights at the Cinnamon Bear with the expectation of a cozy quiet B & B. Definitely met our expectations for the coziness, however the fact that it is right on the Sonoma Hwy. and we heard the traffic all night long was a downer for us but they made up for it with the friendliness, the food and the great picture taking at the end of our stay!

I'm normally not one for B&Bs, appreciating the anonymity of a traditional hotel, however, the Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn was truly exceptional. Terrie and Darla were incredibly gracious and generous, and the stay was, as a result, delightful. The rooms were very clean (I have borderline OCD, so this was very important) and the service impeccable. The food was generous, tasty and visually appealing. I will definitely stay there again, and would recommend it to anyone/everyone.

We chose this place while on our vacation due to the previous reviews, and they were totally right! Everyone was so friendly and really went out of their way to make us comfortable and help us with our vineyard plans! The rooms were beautiful, the beds so comfortable and the jacuzzi was divine!! I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a wonderful respite from their vineyard travels!

We booked a one night stay at this bed and breakfast in Sonoma. We were greeted warmly by the innkeeper, Darlene. It was more like going to a friend's house than an inn. She spent time with us giving us suggestions for dining and wineries. She showed us to a lovely room with a private bath. In the morning we met the talented woman who prepared a totally delicious yam and fresh veggie frittata with home made strawberry bread and orange slices fresh from the tree outside the door. She spent time chatting with us and making sure everyone was happy. One patron was not a fan of scallions and she prepared him another breakfast. Over and above what others would do. All were genuinely interested in the guests. Our room faced the street and so there was some street noise (we are from the country and not used to any traffic) Ask for a room at the rear of the house and you won't be disappointed! My only regret is we only had one night there. When back in the area I would stay there any time!

We loved this place! So cute & cozy, it felt like home but better! Great location too!

Yoga Community recommended this great-little treasure and I truly look forward to a return visit to Cinnamon Bear. The InnKeepers, Terri and Darla, were the best!! They made me feel at home and I left feeling well-rested; our breakfast was not only beautiful, it was delicious! Thanks again Cinnamon Bear for a beautiful room and welcoming visit! See you soon, I hope! ~SusanO

Breakfasts were yummy, especially the frittata on the first morning. Gracious hosts -- we really felt welcome and "at home" away from home. Room was spacious and comfortable and quiet.

We had a very relaxing stay at CBCI. The host was pleasant and knowledgeable. We would stay here again.

We recently stayed here one night while planning an upcoming wedding. The hosts were fantastic and very helpful. Our room was large spacious and very clean. Highly recommended

my boyfriends father got married this past weekend and we stayed at the cinnamon bear in sonoma. The rooms were impecible and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our celebration was unforgetable, including making a wedding cake that was delicious! More comfortable than any hotel I've stayed in and really had the charm that we were looking for being in the heart of wine country. We were also given little coupon packets for complimentry and two for one wine tastings that were great. we had so much fun and such a great experience we can't wait t go back!

My husband and I stayed here from Thursday - Sunday during February and we were very pleased with our stay. The hosts were so warm and friendly and the inn itself was welcoming. Staying here was like being at home where someone else cleans and cooks! The only thing is, like home, there are a couple of idiosyncrasies that you should be aware of. First, since it is on the Highway 12, there is some highway noise that might disturb some people. Also, in our room, the shower had a low flow shower head. Although very eco friendly, that is the one low flow item I do not personally enjoy. Last, it is a couple of blocks away from Sonoma square. A very easy walk, or short drive, and we rather enjoyed the evening strolls! Besides these items, the inn was lovely and such a great value. We are planning to stay again!

Very caring staff. Lovely room. A bit a street noise.

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. It is a long-ish walk to the town square but a convenient drive to many area wineries.

My stay at the Cinnamon Bear was not brief. Over the week I relaxed in Sonoma, the staff went out of their way to make my time enjoyable. The friendly service and warm atmosphere really helped to forge wonderful memories.

This was a fine B&B for three days stay in the off season. We were the only guests for some time and this was nice, like renting a house. The service was friendly and helpful with good advice on local tours/attractions. The breakfast was very tasty all three days, but they served no breakfast meat and did not offer seconds. Not a big deal for some but a little unusual. Evenings had coffee and cookies laid out. The location was convenient to the downtown square but still driving distance. I would choose this again and would recommend to others for a stay in the wine country area.

It was a last minute booking, and we were so happy that we stayed at the Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn. Very close to the downtown, nice, clean room and the bathroom. It was very warm, which we liked. The breakfast was great. The owner and here daughters even mad cookies for us, how sweet of them.

we had a delightful time in Sonoma. The Cinnamon Bar was a great place to stay, near to the downtown and on the way to the vineyards. The hostess cooked us two wonderful breakfast's and the personal service and conversations were equally as nice. It was a birthday celebration out of town and we could not have found a better experience. Chuck and CarmelitaS.

Room was so comfortable and we felt at home. Could easily have stayed longer. Thanks

Charming house & service.

Great spot in adorable Sonoma. Charming, authentic and very accommodating.

Everything at Cinnamon Bear was comfortable and adequate. The rooms aren't large, but good use is made of the space and they are nicely decorated. The bed was super comfy. Breakfast was tasty and portions were a good size. Management is very friendly and accommodating. Parking was good and there's a nice outdoor area, which I believe there are plans to improve. I recommend the Benziger Winery tour and tasting, which is about 5 minutes away. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Cinnamon Bear.

Cinnamon Bear in Sonoma is an ideal retreat for a wine country trip. Quiet rooms, delicious breakfasts, attentive staff. Sonoma is the homey, comfortable gate to wine country, and hour from everyplace in all the valleys. Don't miss it!

Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn is conveniently located about a mile from downtown Sonoma. The room we stayed in was spacious, clean and we had our own heating/cooling system to control the temperature. Breakfast was served piping hot & exactly on time! We will definitely be back next time we are in Sonoma & we happily recommend Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn to others.

It was the best experience to stay at a bed and breakfast. Thank you so much!

We would definitely recommend CB Creekside Inn. The inside was fresh and inviting. We enjoyed the hospitality and breakfasts – flavorful recipes we hadn’t experienced before, and attractively presented. When Darla realized we would be out very early one morning, she prepared a fruit plate for us. The sitting room was a pleasant place to sip wine or coffee and talk to other guests. Our upstairs room was comfortable and quiet, with minor traffic noise. It was a flat 15-20 minute walk to the Plaza. The patio could use sprucing up. Overall, very nice ambience and outstanding service.

It was my b-day and the owner and my girlfriend put up a surprise for me. The lady helped my girlfriend with the champagne and everything. Next day we woke up after bfast time and they made us breakfast anyways. The service is unbelievable, is like being hosted by your mom. Room with Jacuzzi is great. Best price I could find. If I go back I won't even look anywhere else.

Very clean , super friendly owners/staff, furniture appears new, not at all Kitschy. will definitely recommend to friends

My husband joined me at this B&B since I was doing work in the Sonoma area. Everything was great, and finding a place for less than many others in the area with wonderful amenities like free Wi-Fi and a hot tub, sure made it even better. We had a very nice time at the Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn and we would love to come back and stay here again.

The rooms (dining/sitting area, bedroom) are large and in excellent condition: recently renovated and very clean. The owners are friendly and accomodating, but are new to the Sonoma area so they could only give basic useful information. The walk to downtown only takes 15 minutes; to drive takes about 2 minutes. Outdoor patio area was comfortable, but should be next on their renovations list. Breakfast was fine, but nothing outstanding. The pricing seems to be on par for or a little better than the area.

I happened to be the first person to actually book a room at the Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn. Wonderful place. He knew were were arriving and the AC unit in our room was already running (a nice and quiet AC unit). Everything was new, freshly painted, quiet and charming. The outside grounds are a lovely place to sit and it's in a very convenient location. Breakfast was wonderful...cooked to order omlet...hmmm So happy to discover the Connamon Bear!

We had a comfortable stay on a Saturday night in June 2008. Personnel are welcoming, friendly yet unobtrusive. We liked the room decor, jacuzzi, large dining/sitting area downstairs, and memorable freshly-prepared breakfast. A surprise was that the location is close to a very busy throrougfare into Sonoma from the west, and the traffic noise is hard to shut out. We were on an outside corner room, so were closer to traffic than other rooms.

The breakfast was fantastic and the ella room was to die for! Went for my husbands birthday and bethany and her innkeeper made everything perfect for us. Peaceful and perfect would stay there again in a heartbeat!

My husband and I never met Greg, but Bethany made our 15 year anniversary stay quite wonderful. Despite the fact that ambient street noises can be heard in the Ellington Room, we had no trouble sleeping. The sumptuous bed and linens made us want to stay in bed all day. The small terrace and garden area lent itself nicely to sitting outside and enjoying a glass or two of wine. The breakfasts are not to be missed. Joe, who occasionally pinch hits during breakfast, is a fountain of knowledge. He gave us great recommendations for wineries to visit.
