Top Mother Lode Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Country Inn Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"we stayed for one night and everything was perfect the gal who helped us so helpful"

Heritage Inn Yosemite/Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"We were away from the hotel most of the time. But the check in process was quick. Did not interact with any other than the front desk. She was pleasant, and competent. The room was clean and comfortable. Parking area is a bit small. We return from a concert at about 1 AM. Only one parking space was available. But that's all we needed."

Historical Victorian with Modern Touch. Garage with EV Charger

8/10 Good

"This house was perfect for a quick trip to Yosemite and comfortably accommodated our family of four. It was a little difficult to find everything when we arrived at night, but straightforward enough once we got oriented. Ed communicated well before our trip and gave us some great suggestions for the area.There is an outlet in the garage where you can plug in an EV charger, or there is a Tesla charger in town just a few minutes away. The house leans heavily into a Victorian-era vibe, with lots of antique furniture and charming details. It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay.There is also a Walmart and Safeway just around the corner, which was convenient for any last-minute supplies."

Historic Sonora Inn

8/10 Good

"We loved this place so much that we stayed an extra night. The NIGHT STAFF (Viri & Christina: great meeting you!) were SO welcoming, personable and accommodating. This hotel isn’t just like any other chain hotel you can get in any city in the US. It has character specific to Sonora and is historic, yet has all the amenities and necessities of a modern hotel. And it’s right on the Main Street so you always have things to do and see. Only minor complaints are housekeeping came in without knocking and there are no ”do not disturb” door signs, and check out is 11am and if you ask to extend it you only get to 11:30. You can stay longer but have to pay $50 to stay until noon and then a full nights stay if you stay any later. But that’s only a problem if you’re a night owl/sleep in late like us. I will absolutely be back again!!"

Villa Sierra

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying here. Cute place with out door kitties & so many birds. Enjoyed sitting on the deck drinking coffee in the morning listening to the birds sign."

Gunn House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I loved our visit to the Gunn House Hotel. We met Harry who is wonderful and very helpful. And he's quite a good chef for morning breakfast. The room was clean and the air conditioner worked great. We sat outside our room in the evening with our tablets and watched all the cars go by on Washington St. I give an A+ to the staff and Harry for their great hosting. We will be back. Take care for now, Kevin & Debbie."

Sonora Gold Lodge

8/10 Good

"The Sonora Gold Lodge is one of the few remaining independent old fashion motels in the area. It is old, so you expect some quirkiness. The King size bed was new and the flooring was new. So, they have done some upgrades. I really like the fact that I could park my motorcycle right outside my room and it was very quiet. I needed a room for the night because I was in town for two events and did not want to drive the hour home between. I was looking for the most affordable room in town. The Sonora Gold Lodge was exactly what I needed. I caution you though, if you are looking for a modern, high-end place to stay this is not it. If you are looking for a clean bed and shower that is a bit retro and quirky this is perfect."

Loved by Guests! Quiet Villa w/ King Beds, Full Kitchen, 2-Min Drive to Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely and reasonable place to stay. Our host was amazing! The home was very clean, nice and cool in the summer heat and the bed was so comfortable."

Historic Home in Downtown Sonora!

10/10 Excellent

"Recently stayed here with some friends on a much needed getaway trip. It was honestly everything I was hoping for and more! I get sort of nervous traveling, especially when I’m not familiar with the area, but this lovely house’s location quickly relaxed me. Parking was a breeze because there was a parking structure right next to the house for all us (three cars total). Downtown is literally right next to the house and everything was walking distance! We were able to grab food and drinks during the night time with ease, and wake up early to go grab coffee and shop at the local stores. The house was incredibly spacious, but still had so much detail and charm. It felt fancy and cozy all at the same time, which made hanging out with company easy going yet still special. We definitely will be booking again and can’t wait to explore some more!"
