Review from Ali D.

My husband and I actually really like this place.
We stayed last April in a 'deluxe' balcony room, and it was quite nice, then recently in a standard courtyard room, since we wanted to pay 95 rather than 139!
Both types of room have a small table and chairs by the window, and the coffee maker comes with the little containers of real half & half, which I love!
I did have to double check the website to let the woman on the phone know that it was listing the 95 weekday price as available over the holiday weekend, but we got it.
The mattress and bedding could use some updating or more padding, but the heater worked well, and the sheets were soft enough.
The man at the front desk [owner?] was nice at check in & out, let us check in before 1 pm, and lent a corkscrew when we needed it. ;p
Probably the best part about this place is that you can walk to the Hopmonk Tavern for concerts--that's why we've been, both times.
Coffee Catz toward the front of the parking lot has great food & drink in a cute old building with a lot of charm!
If you're in town on a Sunday night, secure your dinner before 9pm--there's pretty much nothing afterwards!!! -

First off, you do not get what you pay for. The rooms are big but that is about the only positive. Another couple and I were stopping through Sebastopol and needed a place to stay, so we shared a room with 2 queen beds.
I made a comment to my boyfriend that this looked like the kind of hotel that you see in horror films, where you check-in and are murdered by some crazy psycho killer. The room was actually quite dirty as well, which made me question if it had even been cleaned after the previous guest.
Good news, we survived the night! However I got a call from my friend (who's credit card we held the room to) saying that they were charging her $26 for a missing binder and mug. Are you kidding me!?!?! She said that the person she spoke with told her to call the other people in the room to see if they would "fess up" to taking the items. I'm sorry but I am a grown adult and I have no need to a mug or binder that says the name of a motel where I wondered if I would be awoken by some crazy axe murderer. I told her to dispute the charges, we honestly did not take those items and I'm wondering how often they "claim" things are missing just to overcharge people.
Anyways, if you can try to avoid this place! -

My hubby and I have stayed in this INN twice already. The second time around we took our friends there and they were happy with the place as well. I am pretty amazed on the negative comments because we never had a problem with resevation or the service.
Overall:
Conviently located in walking distance of Downtown
No breakfast but I recommend going to EAST WEST CAFE- organic cafe
Minutes away from great wineries- ASK the INNKEEPER for free pass
CLEAN but WORN OUT
and (drum roll ...)
- 115 bucks a night compare to lowest B&B in the area for $160- $250................ GREAT DEAL. -

This hotel looks good from outside and has a good location, pretty quiet. But I think they should do some updates: buy new blankets, for example. There are holes in the blankets. Rooms are big but they don't look cozy. Overall it is not a bad place but for this price it can be a little better,

The guy who owns and runs this place is super shady. His name is Ashok and he's an Indian guy probably in his mid to late 40s. If he is at the front desk when you go to check in, turn around and run.
When my wife and I arrived, we had booked a room online for two nights for $160 per night. When we checked in, Ashok tried to hard sell us a suite for the "discounted" price of $250 per night. My wife and I briefly talked it over and decided that $90 extra per night is not worth it, so we politely declined.
When we get into our room, it's fairly big with a bedroom, bathroom, and separate living room. It looks like a suite, so we assume that Ashok was simply out of regular rooms and tried to get us to pay more for the suite he was forced to give us. So we thought the guy was shady from the start, but we had no idea.
When we checked out two days later, the bill said $500 or $250 per night. I told him that our online confirmation showed $160 per night. Ashok then claimed we accepted his offer of a suite two days before. My wife and I were incredulous as we had clearly said no. Unfortunately for us, Ashok produced a piece a paper that I had signed at check in with $250/night quoted in really fine print. After having a few glasses of wine before we arrived, I obviously didn't look at it closely enough, but this seemed like a complete scam--getting a guest to sign off on a more expensive room when they're not paying attention.
I felt completely ripped off, and Ashok didn't help by being a complete jerk about it. No offer of a discount or even a "sorry for the confusion." How this guy expects repeat business after treating customers like this is beyond me. This was the worst room I've ever paid $250/night for. I can stay in a nice Union Square hotel in SF for that kind of money, and this place had hard beds, no soundproofing, terrible water pressure, a dinky pool, TVs made in 1990, and a complete motel feel. Sorry, Ashok, the small bottle of crappy Korbel that you left for us didn't make up for the room that was overpriced by at least $100 per night. -

Yep, the cumulative 1 1/2 star rating that Yelp users have given this "hotel" is spot-on... Let me recount my experience here...
The fiancé and I showed up there yesterday, after we found Boon to be deserted and the inn owners were nowhere in sight (another odd story), and we were treated pretty rudely by who I assume was the owner of this place (Indian man in his late 40s with an extremely rude and inhospitable attitude), and were given the keys to a very overpriced and "blechy/WTF?" room.
The room: First off, we noticed some fairly large stains on the carpet near the front door, and stains on the comforter (this was the second "sign" after our encounter with the front-desk guy/owner/whatever that this place was not good news. The mattress was probably the most uncomfortable "hotel"-- I hesitate to call this a hotel or an inn, since it doesn't even come close to meeting those standards--that I have slept on, and the pillows were like bags of cements, so needless to say, this was not a restful night's sleep for me. Oh, and no breakfast was included in the price, which was.... oh, something like $122. For that amount of money, as a consumer, you should expect a whole lot more, and would get more from most of the other "lower star" chains like Holiday Inn Express, or any Best Western for that matter--plus cleanliness would most likely not be an issue.
Given the sub-sub-standard conditions of this "establishment," I cannot fathom what the owner (s) think justifies the inflated prices for these rooms--it just doesn't make any sense. In the final analysis, it is my opinion that the motivations for this kind of business practice is "wine country opportunism" plain and simple. They seem to have a lot of advertisements for local businesses, and restaurants, and I'm wondering if they are given any kickbacks for possibly referring customers to these businesses--this is only conjecture at this current time on my part, so who can say.
Final parting words of advice for ANY potential occupants of ANY hotel/inn/motel: Ask to look at the rooms first to see if the conditions are acceptable, and do so BEFORE you pay for anything. My fiancé and I have been locked into a back-and-forth, tooth and nail struggle to receive a refund from another local establishment after having to deal with bed bug bites, (ahem, the Cazsonoma Inn), and let me say, that the amount of frustration and personal psychic wear and tear that ensues from a struggle with disreputable business owners is likely not worth it. -

We didn't want to spend a lot on the lodging. The room was spacious. It is a train themed hotel. The bed mattress was not that comfortable.
No breakfast.
You can hear your neighborhoods walking outside/talking outside. However you cannot hear the traffic.
I won't be back at this hotel.Listed in: Weekend in Russian River…

While the motel is in a great location, for the price, it needs:
New Mattresses, quality bed linens, and nice down comforters for the cool nights. The beds are very uncomfortable, and there is no excuse for uncomfortable beds in hotels. -

Stayed here over Easter weekend. First night was 1/2 empty and I give the place a little pricey but it was very clean and you could tell they were making an effort. I think $80 per night would have been more like it (instead of $120). BUT...or hesitancy in coming back...the walls and floors are paper thin. And it wasn't sounds of lovemaking it was sounds of standard conversation. "Could" be a problem if the place was crowded.

Rooms are large & that's about it. Musty, stains on bedspread, coffee pot didn't work, sheets and towels frayed. Guest noise from above the room very irritating. This is a dumpy hotel with nice grounds. Holiday Inn down the street is MUCH better-includes breakfast, wi-fi and cleaner rooms.
