    Brandon & Shona are wonderful hosts. when you stay at the Valley Ford it feels as if your staying at a friends home. The food is wonderfully delicious! The beds are very comfy. This was my 2nd visit there. I would highly recommend staying at the Valley Ford.

    Stayed here with my wife and 2 other couples. Very comfortable and clean, had no issues with staying right above the bar. We ate just about every meal at Rocker Oysterfellers downstairs and were never disappointed. We also stayed here 2 years ago and since then they have actually upgraded the rooms. Adding mini fridge and iPod docking alarm clocks. We will never stay anywhere else when visiting Sonoma.

    Great option for touring in the Point Reyes & Russian River Valley area. Rooms are tidy and clean. The onsite restaurant/bar are great. The food at Rocker Oysterfeller's is excellent and offers a variety of innovative creations. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again without hesitation.

    Checkin early as you will need to get the attention of the bar tender to get a key if after 4:00. Unpleasant experience. Room was okay, large bathroom, clean, comfortable, not noisy even above the bar. Check out was with dining room hostess. Dinner was good food, a little pricy and surprisingly up scale using all fresh local products. Hostess very personable. Brunch not really worth the price or convenience. Bad bisquits and gravy.

    This hotel was a real treat with a great style and friendly staff. We were only here for one night but we had a good meal in the restaurant and a fun time chatting to the staff at the bar. Would definitely recommend.
