Our stay at Sonora Inn was amazing, safe and welcoming. The staff of this hotel is so kind and helpful that they would really bother for their customer. Alexandria, who was there at front desk, made sure about our smooth check-in and generously responded to all of my questions. This supportive gesture was really appreciable. Apart from her as well, the two guys at front desk (during breakfast time) were supportive. Rooms are really big with all facilities you expect as a guest and even if something is missing, then staff would make sure to resolve or answer your questions properly. Property looks good and well maintained.

The hotel is 80 years old, so it's dated, and needs a number of updates & renovations, BUT ... this is Motherload country, & there are many hotels that are 4-star. The location is fantastic, & there are enough stores, restaurants, gas stations in Sonora to take care of all your needs. You can't beat the price for the location. We'd recommend the place, keeping in mind that there are tight quarters in the room & you'd best be prepared to get breakfast down the street. The staff was always present & helpful. Need anything, then just ask them!

It was freezing in the halls, it took 5-10 minutes for the water in showers to warm up, then had to keep it full hot water to take a shower. The forat room they tried to put us in was so small my suitcase couldnt roll on the side of a queen bed. Bathroom was so small if you sat on the toilet your forhead touched the sink.

Was a good stay but they always have the same tired breakfast not much to choose from and in the morning no hot water for a shower I took a Luke warm shower at best or maybe cause the heater was on maybe made it feel that way but also in the morning the guy came around early trying to get all the towels so he could wash them witch I thought was weird it’s like wait till we leave but whatever so he came in got towels out of the bathroom but was only 3 so he said there is only 3 did you steal the others? I said wait what? I said are you serious? Dude there on the bed the remaining 3 towels 2 big and a small one we used then he oh ok I was just joking I said yeah sure you was so go ahead and go we need to finish getting dressed and since you came in here I want an extra hour for our inconvenience so he did but I was like this is crazy to do that

Rooms are antiquated with window units to heat and cool the room. VERY limited electrical outlets for plugging modern devices. Room was noisy from street noise. Parking situation was confusing and should be better explained in hotel description (parking is in the lot of the hotel behind this hotel because they own both, but that is not readily apparent). “Breakfast” was sparse but clean. Perfect location for downtown access.

Stay somewhere else.
Super disappointed. Not at all what the pictures show. They are in the middle of remodeling. At least finish the rooms before you rent them out. No outlets, just tape over future plugs. No lights that worked, except the overhead one, which was dim. The new attempt of modernizing the rooms is a failure. This is a historic hotel, don’t make it look like motel 6 (which would have been better). There is no charm to this place anymore. We think there was semen on the walls. Just awful. Stay somewhere else. Front desk staff was no help and did not even apologize when we brought this up. I don’t think they were impressed by the place they worked at.
Not even a light.
Semen on the walls??
Cracked and dirty tile

Not worth the price
There's nothing quaint or rustic about Sonora Inn, it's just run down and severely dated. Everywhere you look there's shoddy maintenance and outdated junky furniture. The front staff is a joke, especially the clown that works evenings, he's particularly useless. Save your money and go elsewhere. The ONLY redeeming quality about this Inn is its location. Walking distance to all things downtown Sonora.
