“Great Bang for the Buck!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We just made our second stay at this Sheraton and we got exactly what we were looking for. We got a comfortable room that was clean and was affordably priced. Yeah, I've stayed at more impressive Sheratons, but not for the price that we got at this one and this hotel easily met all of our expectations where it mattered the most. We've stayed here three nights once before and two nights this time around. We had a very comfortable stay both times.

The staff was super friendly and even the guy who was painting the doorframes on the third floor showed great hospitality. We had just escaped from another local hotel that seemed totally indifferent to us so the warm welcomes we got from everyone from the front desk onward really made an impression.

The only thing that would come close to registering as a complaint was that the WiFi was a little spotty at times, but you'll be hard pressed to find any free WiFi anywhere that isn't suffering from spotty performance.

We've never tried the food at the hotel. When you're in a town like Petaluma, you deserve to be disappointed if you're not out on the town every opportunity you have to sample one of their amazing restaurants, cafes, and eateries.

“RUDE !!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

My husband and I stayed here on Dec. 23 and 24, 2011. The rooms are typical hotel rooms, I did notice a bit of mold up high in the shower, otherwise it was clean. My only complaint was the extremely rude male clerk that checked us in. No excuse to be rude to paying guests.

Room Tip: They tout the marina but it actually is not much to look at.

“Great value Sheraton”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We spent Christmas night at the Sheraton Sonoma County. I appreciated the free parking and complimentary wine and beer in the Club Lounge. The Club Lounge snacks were very adequate and could substitute for a light dinner. Mike was the server in the Club Lounge, and was very professional and efficient.
The hotel staff were very courteous and upgraded us to the Club floor with a view of the marina.
The hotel seems to be quite large. Even though they were at 70% occupancy, we had a quiet and restful night sleep.
I was very satisfied with the value and anticipate staying at this property in the future.

Room Tip: Request the marina view.

“Nice place, terrible experience!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2011

I stayed at this hotel on Tuesday this week and I think the hotel is beautiful but the customer service was not the best. Upon check in, I found a hair spray and a bag left behind by the previous guest in the room, I brought the items to the Front Desk and the guest agent just said “Thank you”. Even though I was not seeking compensation, there was not even an apology or any other guest recovery actions. Upon check out I was asked how my night was at the hotel and brought to the Front Desk agent’s attention the cleanliness issues to what she responded “I am sorry, Thank you for staying with us??? I decided to try this hotel because I will have to travel to Petaluma very often but based on this experience I am not coming back.

Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention. I am sorry our housekeeping staff did not remove the previous guests hairspray and bag and our front desk staff did not respond to you with more empathy. We will discuss more suitable responses at our next staff meeting. Thanks again and I hope your stay was enjoyable otherwise.

“"Loud Parties"”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night with a youth basketball team. Both nights they had Holiday parties booked in the banquet room directly below our room. On Friday when we returned to the Hotel at 9:30 their was a girl puking in the parking lot, another couple in the entrance was being escorted out by staff and yelling at them all the way out the door. A bunch of other drunks were plopped on the lobby furniture. On Saturday Night it turns out they had a D.J. dance party in the room
directly below us all we could here was pounding music at 9:40 I called the front desk they told me
it should stop at 11:00 it finally ended at 11:30. Was handed a breakfast voucher for the inconveince.

Room Tip: If you want to actually sleep on a weekend stay away from the banquet rooms !!!!!!

I sincerely apologize for the disturbance you experienced during your stay. We were hosting several holiday parties on the weekend of your visit and the one you describe was especially challenging. We cut off liquor service to those who had too much, but some had clearly been consuming even before they arrived here. We will be sure to manage this better next holiday season. Thanks very much for your feedback.
