Dorrington Vacations from $334

Staying here feels more like being in an Airbnb than a hotel. Staff is only around during limited hours and they give you a code to open a lockbox if you check-in after those times. The A/C in my room did not work at keeping the room cool at all, and I was only able to open one window in my room to let in fresh air. The TV didn't work at all. This is a beautiful building, I wish they could do more to restore it.

The hotel was both wonderful and perfectly located in Winters. It’s a small town with everything in walking distance. The staff was helpful and we were allowed to check-in early since the room was ready. One night in Winters was a wonderful experience.

Where to START!? 1st, we USED to get a breakfast voucher for each night's stay, now it's just a drink voucher. The sea lions BARKING most of the day, & ALL through the night (which is why they provide ear plugs, but those are NOT that helpful if you're staying riverside), REALLY detracted from the experience! Additionally, we called WEEKS ahead to reserve our favorite room (we've stayed here multiple times), but found that, upon arrival, it was given away & NOT available - soooooooo DISAPPOINTING!! Also, there USED to be a table & chairs at the stern of the 4th deck (where our room was located), where my wife & I would sit & enjoy an adult beverage whilst watching the boats, & the sunset, behind the backdrop of a beautifully illuminated bridge - that table & chairs are no longer there. Overall, NOT the immensely enjoyable experience it once was, so we will not likely return until, AT the very LEAST, the SEA LIONS are GONE - those noisy mammals are a TOTAL DEAL BREAKER, at least for us...
