Gunn House Hotel

Very good

Liked: Using the waffle maker was fun.

Unclean, uncared for, unusable!!

Disliked: I know the property is old and that’s supposed to be part of its charm but that doesn’t exclude it from being clean. All external areas were dirty and uncared for, dead plants, filthy furniture, litter everywhere, just unusable. The room was a decent size as we were moved from a single queen (with a constantly running bath tap) to a double queen but there were stains / dirt on the pillows including one that looked like a drop of blood, ant infestation in the bathroom, bath unclean and generally just unsatisfactory. We did try to complain but nobody answered the bell on leaving, there was no way we were stopping for the paid for breakfast!!!

Good

Good Location. Great Value

Liked: Can't beat the value and location. At the end of the main strip of Sonora, so easy to walk to restaurants. Harry does everything, from check in to getting breakfast set up in the morning. He also keeps a watchful eye over the property, providing a sense of security. Property has a certain quaintness and historic feel.
Disliked: Parking requires going up a steep lane, on the left side of the entrance. Property may not be for everyone but you will love it if you are into vintage.

Horrible

Liked: The location was the only thing good about this place.
Disliked: Bed linen was dirty and stained. Breakfast was horrible. Roaches in the bathroom. I wouldn't even shower or brush my teeth in that bathroom. One person running the whole hotel. Very nice man but this place is a joke.

Bad

Liked: The room was nice set up
Disliked: The sheets were stained. Breakfast was a joke .

Our stay left us feeling...

Liked: The location was good.
Disliked: The toilet would not flush. The sink would not drain. The bathroom was infested with ants. The tile was cracked and moldy. The soap felt like chalk. The floors were dirty. There was no phone, no tissues, and approximately 10 squares of toilet paper. When i tried to turn in my room key, no one answered the bell. The atmosphere was garage sale grandma - old in a broken down, musty, horror film way.

If you love history, this...

Liked: If you are looking for a unique property this is a great stay. It was built in 1849 and our room was furnished with period antiques. Because it is a very old property it is not neat and new, but it has a lot of personality,(two rocking chairs and an antique table on the veranda out side our door over looking main street Sonora). Nice big swimming pool. Homemade breakfast in the old parlor. Out side seating in the pool area. If you are a history buff this is the place for you. I loved it, my wife not so much. The bed was an antique but the mattress was not, I slept great.
Disliked: Because it is a 150+ year old converted home, it needs lots of work to maintain it. A lot of that work is still in progress.

Passable
