Our room was very clean with plentiful towels and toiletries. We enjoyed the belgium waffles offered each morning. Any request we made brought an immediate response. We are hopeful that the apparent deferred maintenance on the building itself will be done at some point because we'd like to continue our 20-year relationship with Gunn Hotel.

This is a vintage hotel built in the mid 1800's. It is a bed and breakfast in the middle of town. We enjoyed the old feel and obvious age of the property. Located on a main street, we stayed in room 11, one of the original to the building. An extra large room with two queen size beds.(mattresses needed upgrading, but bedding was cute.) The rolling floor keeps you guessing which way to turn in the room. The charming glass windows are still original to the building, we sat in the rocking chairs on the front porch, and aired out the room, while waiting for friends to join us. Water pressure was great in the bathroom. Breakfast was fine, but the most enjoyable was the camaraderie in the dinning room. There was a casual vibe and we enjoyed talking to the other folks that had ventured to stay in this interesting and original place. The first two story building in Sonora built by Dr. Gunn.

The room was beautiful and amazing. I loved the vintage old look. The room was clean and the property was beautiful. The only problem was the internet. It was very weak and didnt work properly. You are better off just using your data plan. The location was perfect and located downtown Sonora. There was plenty to see and do since it was in the downtown strip. The Hong Kong Chinese restaurant across the street was delicious and very well maintained. The food was excellent and came out quickly. So if you are planning a vacation to gold country, Sonora, ca. this is a great place to stay.

This is an Old Hotel. You can imagine after many, many guests and building age things are not going to be brand new. Things need repaired and repairs are many. With that said, we loved it!! The staff was very hard working and accommodating. The antiques in the room and on the property was like stepping back in time, with indoor plumbing and cable TV. The free breakfast was a treat. Thank you. A great adventure.

This is not the cleanest hotel. I can't tell you the last time the floor was vacuumed or the room was dusted. I had to clean the nightstand myself. It was very dirty. it had a nasty sucker stuck to it. Had to ask for toilet paper. There was an 1/8 of a roll left in the bathroom. Didn't know at the time of booking you need to ask for a refrigerator & microwave, they had to bring it to use. Also no coffee pots in the rooms. The breakfast was terrible. Although they did have a waffle maker, bread, bagels & fresh coffee cakes. The tables outside should have be cleaned. The room was cute, but very noisy due to street traffic. The one & only staff member was very helpful and nice. I wish I could say i would go back. That's not happing.

We have been to Sonora many times the town is adorable. This hotel is… they try to keep the old feel which is nice but everything broken doesn’t make “ the aged look”. The headboard was ripped off the wall had wood hanging off. Had a stool that if you sat on I’m sure you’d break a hip falling off. Oh the shower pressure was good though.. if you want your skin to peel when it hits you. And you can’t be over 4 foot tall if you want the water to be on top of your head. After a certain time of day don’t plan to find staff for towels or an extra pillow being you get one, sorry propped up back sleepers. And the pool… if you like green water this one’s for you! All in all I wouldn’t stay here again.
