Top Sonora Hotel Reviews

Heritage Inn Yosemite/Sonora

8/10 Good

"Reasonable price and clean room"

Lazy Z Resort

8/10 Good

"It felt remote and was quiet and peaceful which was exactly what we were seeking out. However…the cottage didn’t feel like a cottage. It was a bit more like a pretty single wide. The interior was well kept and well appointed with the exception of having limited kitchen items (for example a total of 2 forks, limited glassware, very limited coffee pods, etc). There was also very limited towels for both bathroom and kitchen. Be very aware that this is a full sized bed when booking! It worked for us as we aren’t very big people. Just make sure you’re fully aware before booking. Clubhouse, pool, and hot tub were very far from our “cottage”…we stayed in #7. We walked up there once to check it out but it’s not feasible for us to realistically do that any more than that in a weekend. Driving from the cottage to the amenities would be a good option. Pool and hot tub were very pretty and appeared well kept. We did not actually use them given the distance from our cottage."

Historic Sonora Inn

8/10 Good

"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!!"

Charming 4-bedroom house with WiFi and AC in lovely Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"The solid house layout with all of the modern appliances was great. A word of caution that the front door is 41 stair steps up from the driveway (15 of which are more shallow) with no railings, making the climb difficult for our mobility-challenged member. But once inside, we all loved and enjoyed the house."

Gunn House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I loved our visit to the Gunn House Hotel. We met Harry who is wonderful and very helpful. And he's quite a good chef for morning breakfast. The room was clean and the air conditioner worked great. We sat outside our room in the evening with our tablets and watched all the cars go by on Washington St. I give an A+ to the staff and Harry for their great hosting. We will be back. Take care for now, Kevin & Debbie."
