We loved staying here and took advantage of the restaurant and bar downstairs for evenings and the cheese store across street for our morning cappuccinos.

Older property built in the 1800’s but kept up very well. Food was good but the male bartender had an attitude we didn’t care for.
Tim, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was spotless, beautifully appointed. But there was no tv, the only coffee maker was in the hall and had to be shared, and the hotel is on a busy road.

No ac but the open window and fan made it very comfortable quickly. 1864 building that we found delightful but won’t be for everyone! Stairs only to the rooms, comfy bed, no tv.

Personable owner. Put me at ease.Family owned, rather than a corporate entity.
Derek, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable and quaint.
The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. My only problem was the restaurant that was underneath did not turn off music until after 9. It was supposed to close at 8:30.

Valley Ford Hotel
Hotel was a challenge to find, since there was no internet or GPS service on Route 1. But, room was GREAT! Very clean! Quaint “Mom&Pop” Hotel! Would definitely stay here again.
Jean, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This off the beaten path hotel is a must stay. The connected restaurant served up one of the best burgers I’ve ever had ! Historical building with charm. The staff was the best. FYI: everything closes early so get what you need before you get there 👍
Myka, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A good old-fashioned basic stay.
This is not our first stay here. We like to stay at the Valley Ford Hotel when we are visiting family in Sonoma County, so we've been here several times. We appreciate the rural location, the great food downstairs in the restaurant (and breakfast at the cafe across the street), and other local amenities, like the grocery and the creamery. The night before Thanksgiving we rolled in right before the restaurant closed and had dinner at the bar, in friendly, comfortable surroundings, then climbed up the stairs and went to bed. The room was spotless, but not the tiniest bit fancy. The furniture is stripped pine. Our bed was comfortable and the sheets were crisp. There is a ceiling fan in the room, and a space heater if needed. A coffee bar is in the hallway. This is not a luxury stay but a great, basic stay in a cute, tiny town. It is so much nicer than a motel for a quick stay. One caveat: The stairs are steep (all rooms are upstairs) and you are responsible for your own luggage.

Clean room and comfortable bed. I only spoke to one staff member and she was very polite.
