The Sonoma Inn is a filthy pit, riddled with bedbugs, cigarette ashes hookers and drug dealers. The carpets are filthy and the grime is an inch thick on every surface. If you're looking for a "Skid Row Experince" then stay here!

It was adequate. I recently returned from a vacation around California and stayed in San Francisco for a few days. Although not as nice as most of the other places I stayed at, it was not as bad as some of the reviewers here claim it to be. A good eal for the price, but nothing special.

The Sonoma Inn still lives on in our thoughts a year later, and I don't think we'll ever forget it. Sometimes, I still dream of the smell of disinfectant. The windows are held open with toilet roll, the blinds fall off if you breath near them, the radiator is the size of a postage stamp and about as effective, the... More

The Sonoma Inn is the cheapest place in San Francisco and that's the reason why it's all the time well booked. We stayed two nights and that was about enough since there was indeed a smell in the room, the windows hardly keep any noise from Van Ness out, TV has only 5 channels and it 's not really your...

Checked in for cheap rate, quickly left because if unsafe conditions. The police were in the hallway at least twice during the night because of some crime! If you must stay hear, bring protection of some sort!! Craig Conn

Upon my visit to the Sonoma Inn, the first thing I noticed was that the room reeked of defecation! Not only was the room filthy, I got no rest because of loud costuction going on inside the hotel. Don't bother!

I found this "hotel" listed on a hostel site so I figured the prices were just cheap because of that ($40/night). Upon arrival it was another story...All I really ask for in a hotel is that it is clean! The bed, including the sheets contained seemingly fresh stains; there was a dead roach smeared on the wall and one crawling... More
