Elm House Inn

Central Napa

10/10 Excellent

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Elm House. The staff was pleasant, the room was nice, the property was all we needed. We didn’t need to be downtown in Napa or Sonoma because we traveled all over the areas for a week. We went from the coast to the redwoods, small towns, canyon roads, to wineries all over. The breakfast at the Inn was nice too. The atmosphere at the Inn was calming and soothing. We didn’t spend a lot of our time at the Inn, but it was always nice to come back to the...

A hotel entrance with a sign for Oxford Suites, a large building with multiple floors, and a landscaped area with plants and a curb.

Oxford Suites Sonoma County

Rohnert Park

10/10 Excellent

We spent a few nights for a weekend escape with our dog from San Francisco. The location is ideal for exploring the wineries in Sonoma and Healdsburg by car. The staff was extremely welcoming, and the property was clean and exactly what we were looking for during our brief staycation. There are food options and a casino nearby. I highly recommend this place for families, couples, and pet owners.

The exterior of the Chancellor Hotel with a green awning, a 'No Parking' sign, and a 'Restaurant & Bar' sign.

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

Union Square

10/10 Excellent

My stay was fantastic. The only negative thing I experienced was that they removed the US flag from its place of honor at the peak of their hotel in order to fly a pride flag in its place. As a veteran whos friends gave their lives for the US and whos coffins were draped with that flag, this was intolerable. There were plenty other places they could and did fly the pride flag. It should never fly in lieu of the Stars and Stripes.

An indoor swimming pool with multiple lounge chairs and a high ceiling with skylights.

Hotel Nikko San Francisco
