The Lodge at Sonoma Resort Autograph Collection

The website makes it look like the backyards are private and quiet. They are not private and they are not quiet. The hedges do not go all the way around so you can see your neighbors, and you can hear people talking in their yards and in the units upstairs. We could hear sneezing and conversation in the unit upstairs. And we were woken by our upstairs, neighbor’s alarm clock in the morning. We were really seeking peace and quiet in between the noise in the unit units and the noise from the pool, it was not peaceful.

I've been meaning to write a review on this Resort for SO long. This was such a nice experience, Sonoma in general is very relaxed and I feel like most of the people embody that same quality. Most of the staff was very helpful, I wish I remembered names, but there was a younger gentleman driving the shuttle that was so genuinely kind and helpful. There is on site parking, but the shuttle service to town is a huge bonus, ask for a map at the front and make sure to save the shuttle number. Make sure to visit the breakfast place in town, though--delightful vibes. You can also arrange a local wine tasting, which is definitely a nice way to start or end the trip--it can get overwhelming with so many wineries all over. The one thing I will say is finding a time to catch the woman who was arranging tours / trips / wine tastings proved to be a bit difficult. And while she was definitely helpful, our conversation seemed to be a bit scattered especially because people kept coming up to talk and interrupt. I did really enjoy the daily wine tastings, though--they're great to try before dinner. I also really enjoyed the on-site yoga studio and the restaurant--it was very good, had knowledgeable staff and seemed to be frequented even by people outside of the hotel. I used to work in hotels and this hotel was very clean, the rooms were nice and the patio outside the rooms are a nice treat. I visited the spa while I was there as well and received an amazing massage ! Would recommend. Traveling solo can be a little intimidating, but I really enjoyed my stay--I didn't feel as comfortable in my room with the location of it(some of the patios don't have as much privacy) and a gentleman (I believe a manager) personally walked me to different rooms that he thought I would feel more comfortable in. I also did encounter an issue during my stay, but the staff was helpful and quick to rectify the situation and I feel like that's a very important part of hospitality that sometimes can be missed. This is definitely a place that I will be coming back to !

We recently had the pleasure of working with Doris for our catering needs at the Lodge at Sonoma Resort, Autograph Collection. Doris was incredibly attentive and friendly throughout the entire event. Her warm demeanor and keen attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly. She went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met, and her positive attitude made the experience truly enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel for any event needs!

*Spa review only We paid $500 for two massages. And the massages were wonderful. We felt so happy and relaxed. Then one minute before the lounge closed a lady appeared and announced “this area is closed” and turned on the bright lights. We followed her downstairs to pay (and tip). No smile, no greeting, not even a thank you. This lady does not belong in the Hospitality industry. Zero personality zero customer service skills. We won’t return.

Room wasn’t ready when I checked in. Came back hours later and was given a room. Turned out several different types of rooms. I got the lowest, yet paid $1,000 for two nights. Some rooms have lovely walk-in showers. Some have bathtubs where you have to step over about a three foot tall side and it’s very slippery on the other side. Very disappointed in the price value relationship. I don’t mind paying a fortune if I get a good experience. The breakfast restaurant food was good. Understaffed, as most place are post-pandemic.
