Seemed to be only one person on staff at night and In the morning. Hotel needs a lot of maintenance (missing/falling ceiling tiles, bathtub leaks and drips all night, lamps falling apart, etc). Breakfast was supposed to be 7:30-10:00. Doors opened at 7:32, coffee came at 7:45, never saw food come as I left by 7:50. Looked like it would have been good, but never saw it. Don't plan on seeing breakfast before 8:30. Pool looked nice, but never tried it.

Please bear in mind that the property is an historic building and there will be things not be perfectly modern or picture perfect. That being said, the furniture and decor is certainly in the style of an Old West hotel room. The bathroom was clean probably the most modern of the room. The wraparound porch gave the space an additional outdoor living space which was perfect for visiting with friends. Overall a nice experience and my EMF detector didn’t go off even though the infamous room was directly overhead.

What do you expect from an 1850s building? The property and building were cool but it did feel like a place trying to be something else. The pool was closed and disgusting and while I did not eat the breakfast it looked like it was homemade with care. It was neat to stay there and the price wass reasonable. Not a family resort by any means.

We chose the Gunn House for our Yosemite trip because we wanted an authentic Gold Rush experience. Despite the mixed reviews, we decided to stay at this historic 1850 inn. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment.

We stayed in Room 14, advertised as having a queen bed, but it actually had a full-size bed. The room was very small, the window A/C was outdated and awkwardly installed, the shower barely drained, the toilet paper holder had been poorly glued back on, and the towel bar kept falling off. The old wall heater also looked like it should be replaced.

The property itself felt neglected. The pool was green, the grounds were unkempt, and everything looked dirty and cluttered. The antique furnishings are beautiful, which only makes it sadder because you can still see the hotel’s potential.

After doing some research, I learned the previous owners had intentionally restored and cared for the Gunn House. Since the ownership changed around 2017, it appears very little has been invested in maintaining this historic property. Many of the online photos seem to reflect the inn during its better years.

The Gunn House deserves owners who will preserve and restore this Gold Rush landmark. With proper care and historic restoration, it could once again be one of Sonora’s gems. Right now, it feels like a neglected piece of history with so much unrealized potential.

We were only there for about 7 hours for a nights sleep and checked out at 3 A.M.
It would of been nice to have the A/C on before we arrived as the room was 100 degrees but cooled down in about an hour.
It was fine for a place to crash and shower. Its an old hotel, the room was clean, floor a little dirty/dusty, the check in man was very nice and the price was great. Not much else to say.

The room was not clean. There was a dirty duvet on the bed. When we arrived. There were dirty decorative pillows on the bed. There was a crush can from the previous guest under the couch. The TV was poor quality amenities were limited. The breakfast was terrible the only thing saving Grace was you could make a waffle. The Furniture was questionable to sit safely. We understand it's a historic hotel but the service and the quality of furniture doesn't have to be historic.

I appreciated the friend Line of the staff although the pool was ready I didn’t want to get into the pool however everything else was wonderful. I appreciated that there’s parking. The room reminded me of a bed-and-breakfast place even though it was a hotel. It was very personable and it was the center of the town where there were plenty of restaurants and stores nearby just by walking.

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.

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.

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.

Inexpensive room for a quick overnight stay to leave early in morning for skiing at Dodge. If you just need to sleep and shower, this is good. Quaint room, felt like we were in a museum house that was good for show but not for use. Good for the price

Place old and ran down. Are room had these see through curtains and the minute the sun came up the room was totally lit. Parking lot got full fast, and breakfast was horrible. We paid about $250 for a room and it was overpriced. For that much we would expect a complete buffet breakfast and an inclusive happy hour.

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.

The room was neglected, not clean, stain on bedspread, stains on towels and bed sheets, vodka bottle under bed, etc. Room should be remodeled from top to bottom. No real amenities...but soap and shampoo. Wallpaper coming off and patched in weird fashion. The staff was nice. Some of the picture franes were screwed into the wall. Breakfast in morning was just cakes, brownies, bagels, waffles, fake syrup in a 10# can, cereal and cold egg casserole. There was no salt or pepper but there was mustard but no idea what its was for. The breakfast room was freezing. We could even see our breath. Everyone in room was wearing coats.

When I was checking in asked about their breakfast times and was told my room didn’t include the breakfast but I could pay an extra $20 to get it, but I re-read my booking and no where does it say it was an extra fee and everywhere it stated that free breakfast was included. We did end up getting the free breakfast. Just weird like they were trying to make money in the side or something. Our room was clean for the most part but the heater barely worked. And there was absolutely no hot water the water was barely warm and then to have no heater it was crazy cold. The entire reason we got a room was because we wanted a hot shower and a warm room

The one person staff waws very nice and helpful. The rooms are very dated and in somewhat disrepair, poor heating, poor water pressure. The shower water temp regulates on its own and there is no slip pads in the shower, very slippery. The heating is not good. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was surprisingly good with fresh cakes, pastries and bread, waffles if you wanted. The hotel is 175 years old and is full of history and antiques.

I was disappointed whenever I saw the actual property. By the pictures, I knew that it would probably be not perfect and not a four star hotel. But I figured it would be quaint. And it was quaint, but the room was gross. It needed to be painted The bedspread stains. I found a stink bug on the ceiling. There was no heat in the bathroom. it was just kind of a crazy place. And I later found out after arrival and it was the type of place where people go and stay weeks at a time that probably cannot get into an apartment However, the breakfast was all homemade and great, but otherwise the property was very ran down. I honestly felt like I was being watched my cameras. No, it was not good so I hope management sees this and cleans up the place because it’s in a Prime area right on the highway right in the middle of town.

This motel property is one of the oldest buildings in Sonora. The building has a lot of history and character from the gold rush days, which is still seen in the breakfast dining room.

Unfortunately the hotel operator isn't maintaining the quality of the property. The room doesn't look like they do a thorough job in cleaning it. I had to clean the bedstand myself with some tissue paper and hand sanitizer. I should have brought my own Lysol. As others have said, the floors can be dirty - bring your own shower slippers.

The towels appear a little stained, but overall still acceptable to use. I brought my own towels too so I didn't need to use their face towel. The bathroom toilet appears clean with toilet paper, toiletries, and soap when I stayed. The toilet handle, though, is broken and duct taped -- this is unacceptable.

Also the room is a bit cold staying in the winter time. That's fine because the historic doors have cracks and the top could open independently of the bottom. I didn't use the heater because it's too noisy. I would expect that hotel operator to clean the heater filter at least. I brought my own sleeping bag for warmth.

Some have said there is an odor to the room. I brought my own HEPA air purifier to use so that wasn't an issue for me.

Customer service was excellent! Whatever we needed the staff made sure to do their best to get it and as quickly as possible. They were talkative and friendly with the people staying there, and I was impressed with their care. I would have liked to have access to coffee either in my room or at least too late at night. Other than that I was good. The day was wonderful and we would recommend it to anyone who asked.

We cannot recommend this hotel. It looks cute and quaint from the outside, but the room was run down with paint peeling and dirty. TV had only a few stations. No one was at the front desk most times; we had to call a phone number for help, with some one eventually arriving after awhile. Comp breakfast was substandard, although the breakfast cakes were yummy. The pool was dirty. The whole place needs a major renovation.

The website for this property gets two things correct. The bed was comfortable and it’s an historic hotel. Nothing else is as advertised.
The hotel itself is lovely though desperately in need of TLC. What a shame to see such a beautiful property with so much charm not being properly cared for.
There are serious safety issues the worst being a large gap between the last step of the stairs to the third floor and the porch of that floor. There is no warning of this and one of my party suffered a fall resulting in injury. When we brought this to the managers attention, the response was so lacking in basic concern and attention to the issue we were shocked. There are numerous other safety issues including lack of emergency signage, and adequate fire extinguishers. There was no telephone in the unit, and staff was non existent, and the front desk not staffed., Our bathtub had no slip mat, or slip prevention at all causing me a near fall.
The big, fresh-cooked breakfast buffet was not big, not fresh-cooked and in no sense a buffet. The “fresh” food offered was a small dish of lukewarm quiche. Everything else was an extremely subpar version of a continental breakfast lacking basics like napkins, tea service, toppings for the packaged oatmeal, fruit and any protein options aside from the quiche. When we brought our issues to the manager he simply made excuses and he made no effort to resolve the issues. He simply did not care.
Be warned, this hotel not as advertised!!

Overall, a good option to stay at in Sonora. The one item that was a bit annoying was the quality of the WiFi service. There were two WiFi routers to choose to log in but both provided horrible quality WiFi service. Given that in today's environment, WiFi and internet access has become something that most people rely heavily upon, a better WiFi service option is something that hotels should provide.
