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.

Our stay was quite unique ..it was our first time there in this lovely country boutique style bed-and-breakfast. The food is lovely and the people are even more delightful! However, we were there when the power was out and it did not come back on the entire time we were there. Staff brought candles into every room and bathroom and made sure everybody had a flashlight or lantern and really made the best of it. They got a generator going for basic needs such as flushing toilets etc. They brought up big gallons of water for drinking and placed it in a really neat pitcher in the hallway for everybody to access . I have to say for having that kind of an event where they had no control over it they certainly improvised well and made everyone feel cared for and safe. It was a wonderful experience I hope to come back sometime when the power and the restaurant is fully up and running . We will be back! Lisa & Glen Rigsbee

Self check in/out was easy and convenient. Room was small but cozy. We really enjoyed the free coffee/tea bar outside our door in the hall. It also had purified water to fill our water bottles and hot water dispenser for tea. Towels were new and super soft and plush! Restaurant is downstairs and was convenient for dinner with tasty options. Only downfall was we wish there had been a microwave in the room or outside in the hall with the coffee bar to heat up leftovers or snacks. Also the commuter traffic in the morning outside our window was loud starting around 4:50 am.

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.

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.

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 is located on Highway 1, convenient for a drive up or down the California coast. As it's right on the road, we could hear cars zipping by until dark and early in the morning. There's no front desk... the proprietors left an envelope for us outside the hotel's door with the door codes, so we could enter easily. I wasn't sure how that was initially going to work, but the area was safe, so it felt ok. If you mess up the code too many times to enter your room, the restaurant's staff can contact the proprietor to reset the code. The room was clean and quaint, with a really comfortable bed. The bathroom was also clean with fluffy towels. The one detractor in the bathroom was that the shower/tub floor was slippery, but at least there was a grab bar. There were a couple of nearby dining options, including a bar/restaurant downstairs from the hotel (we ate there for dinner) and a cafe across the street (we ate there for breakfast). Overall, we had a lovely stay!

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.

Very Disappointing
We had stayed there a few years back and really enjoyed our room, the restaurant, and the town. BUT, I don’t think anything has been updated since then. The hall stair carpet was filthy, the hall reeked of cat urine, the only coffee pot was in the hall to be shared with all rooms….seriously?? Really disappointing. And the restaurant was limited and overpriced for the options. Will not come back.
