10 reviews for Healdsburg Inn On the Plaza
This inn, a former site of a Wells Fargo depot back in the days (notice the very high ceilings, maybe the stage coaches used to come thru here) is comfy and intimate. Jennifer, the manager, is very friendly and helpful. We had a room with a comfortable Queen bed and standard jaccuzi bathtub, Kohler toilet. Toiletries are French products, lotion, soaps, shampoo, conditioner and a packet of Jasmine bath salt. A hair dryer is in the bathroom. There's a gas fireplace, amoire and non-HD TV which was placed to the right of our bed (awkward to turn your head to watch TV).
The dining room is upstairs next to the kitchenette where the solo staff person prepares breakfast. We had a delicious chile relleno and there was cheese potatoes, hash brown, bread pudding, muffins, English muffins, raisin toast, homemade granola, Cheerios, fresh chopped fruit (strawberries, pineapples, orange, cantaloupe, honeydew) , orange and cranberry juice. Coffee, tea and cookies are available for you at night and there's cheese, crackers, olives, red & white wine from 4 PM - 6 PM. Street parking is limited to 3 hr. intervals from 9 AM - 6 PM.
A bookcase in the hallway is filled with old movie videotapes, books and there are magazines as well.. A daily newspaper appears at your front door in the morning. A very quiet inn and it's nice not to hear your neighbors snoring or moving around. They have bed turn down at night and leave you 2 pieces of chocolate on the pillows. We came back to 2 "Happy Anniversary" balloons in the room after our stroll; one pink, one blue. Sweet.
They're part of the Four Sisters Inns, which includes 12 accomodations in California and 2 in Washington state. In California, the places run from Yountville, Napa, Sonoma, Healdsburg to Moss Beach, Santa Cruz, Pacific Grove and south to Santa Monica, Dana Point and Monterey. If you stay in any combination of 10 nites at any of their inns over 2 yrs., they'll give you a complimentary night valid Sundays-Thursdays from mid-October to mid-June, excluding holidays, special periods and subject to availability.
Cute spot for a weekend stay. Right on the town square with breakfast and wine/chesse tastings included.
The old charm gives you are great feel and puts you at ease throughout the weekend. Very warm and friendly staff.
I didn't like the fact of how noisy this place was, with its paper thin walls and loud slamming doors all across the place. I wanted to sleep in one morning and didn't stand a chance with all the racket.
Also was pretty damn pricey for nothing too special.
There is nothing to do in Healdsburg besides eat great food, drink great wine, go wine tasting, and have lots of sex in between eating and being (or while) intoxicated.
A good place to have said intercourse in, is the Healdsburg Inn On the Plaza. It's charming, an upscale B&B, that is - if they remember to bring you your breakfast in bed.
My only complaint about our romantic weekend away here would be the, seemingly, forgetful staff. Except you - Front Desk Nathan - you were the shit!
We ordered our breakfast in bed and they forgot to bring it to us. We had to call to remind them, but other than that the stay was perfect in the Carriage House and I loved the spa bath.
They also forgot to clear away our plates from the first night's breakfast, so they just sat on the porch decaying for three days.
Still nice and would return, if they remember my reservations :)
Charming, warm, nice, convenient hotel in idyllic Healdsburg. Location cannot be beat and the rooms are good size. We had a King room, with fireplace, balcony and ok size bathroom with claw-foot tub which was very nice for two. Bed could of been a bit more comfortable and my husband wished for a more modern bathroom. Staff was very friendly and the home cooked breakfast was much appreciated. It was nice to have some hot food after a night of too much wine. I would definitely return to this nice hotel.
As the name implies, this Four Sisters Inn is located right on Healdsburg Plaza. That makes it walking distance to lots of little shops, galleries, (wine) tasting rooms, and restaurants. It was January, so there were no summer concerts in the square but still plenty to walk around and see.
Back to the Inn; there are 12 rooms and as far as I'm concerned the Carriage House is the only way to go. It has a private entrance, gas fireplace, kitchen, and jetted spa tub for two. We didn't take advantage of the other amenities like breakfast, afternoon snacks, and I forget to eat a cookie while checking out but I suspect they're all great too.
The staff was helpful, had great suggestions on both dinner and brunch, and other than while checking in/out, we didn't see them.
Why only 4-stars? Maybe if there were Five Sisters? Anyway, it's a solid 4. There are more luxurious places but this is exactly what I thought it would be and will go back the next time I'm in trouble. Yes, we took home the teddy bear.
Great little inn that feels like a bed and breakfast, but doesn't look like Grandma's House. We got the King Suite, with fireplace and jacuzzi tub, overlooking the square. The room was very comfortable and clean, although I I thought the tub was made for two. We were able to fit, but two tall people would not be too comfortable. The jets were nice, but loud. They have a noise policy to not use the tub after 10 or so, but we were lucky to have our room above the reception area (noone downstairs). Separate standing shower in a large bathroom.
Complimentary breakfast was a little more upscale than a continental breakfast, made fresh in their kitchen. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.
Prices are fair. We stayed on a weeknight, so it was $360 for two nights, 2nd night free (Winter Special). We also adopted a teddy bear, which comes with every room.
Would definitely stay here again.
This is an adorable hotel right on the plaza (as the name suggests) in Healdsburg. The rooms have been recently updated - my only complain would be the bathroom, as I tend to enjoy a more extravagant bathroom when I'm on vacation. However, there was a claw-foot tub which was very relaxing.
The hotel has homemade breakfast every morning (included in the price of the room), fresh cookies, appetizers and wine from 4-6pm, bicycles, etc. They also have good rates/deals for the off-season.
I would like to try Hotel Healdsburg next time I am in Sonoma, but would definitely stay here again.
The location on the square is great. The front desk and in-room service was excellent. Stayed in the Carriage House upstairs which is the best room they offer. You have a private entrance and balcony, but not a view of the square that some of the other rooms afforded. Very quiet even though all 12 rooms were filled. Relaxing and you are in close proximity to great wines in the Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys, and a relatively short drive to all the rest of the Sonoma County Wines. The homemade cookies offered to guests at the front desk ARE good.
P.S. I have no idea why this Inn is listed under "Jewelry" too unless it's an analogy for it being highly prized . I did not see any jewelry store.
P.S.S. No longer categorized under Jewelry :-) still GREAT!
I'm not an "inn" guy. I'm a hotel guy. I don't like "personal." I like impersonal, albeit professional and service-oriented. I don't like hearing other guests, sitting at their table, hearing them flatulate through thin walls, etc. Luckily, the Inn at Healdsburg provides a personal experience with lovely surroundings...and the walls are thick! Like other reviewers, we stayed in the Carriage House room and loved it. Great location, great staff...very nice.
This place is awesome! A great location. Easy to get to amazing wineries without having to drive too far. Walking distance to some amazing restaurants so you don't need to worry about drinking too much wine. My boyfriend and I stayed in the carriage house, and it was great. Jacuzzi, fireplace, full kitchen, private deck and lots of other lovely touches. Great breakfast is included and they also do wine and appetizers in the evening. Take a look at the website because they have some awesome specials in the winter to make it a bit easier to treat yourself to a little getaway.
