I stayed at the Gunn House Hotel this past weekend. This has been my 4th time here (boyfriend has family here) and it is still a great little hotel. Sonora is a small town and I would say that this place is the best for the price, location and quality. The bathrooms were clean (they have all the necessary ammenities... More

My husband and I have spent many weekends in Sonora, and this is by far the best hotel we've stayed in. Yes it is old, but fairly well maintained with a kitschy sort of charm. We've stayed in one of their larger rooms and smaller queen room and both were nice, but the large room was by far the winner.... More

We stayed for a week in April 2011. Room was good although noise from street was a problem until we got used to it. Bed was good, bathroom was excellent and a good standard of cleanliness was achieved. Without doubt the best feature was the inclusive breakfast - home made goodies, cereals, waffles made on the spot. Friendly and interested... More

Just had the misfortune to spend the Christmas holiday at this hotel. I have never been in such an unkept place before. You know when you walk into a room and they can't spend a $1 to replace a broken outlet plate, it's bad. The place had hair all over the bathroom upon check in, the sheets, albeit clean, had... More

Arrived during a power outage and the front desk was very helpful. Decided to have dinner and she would call when it came back on. She called during dinner and all was good. The room(#8), was very nice, great shower and good bedding. Only negative was the street noise which was known from other comments. I suggest side or rear... More

My husband and I decided to take a quick trip down old HWY 49 from Sacramento after visiting my family for Thanksgiving. Even though the website said a 2-night stay was required on weekends, we were able to secure a single-night stay. The drive down 49 was really wonderful (we stopped in San Andreas and visited the museum in the... More

The Gunn House is an OLD hotel. We found the rooms to be adequate, but not very clean. The old shag carpeting needed replacing, and the rooms needed a bit of updating. The bath was clean and functional. The locks on the doors and Dutch windows in the doors were very flimsy and not safe. The large gaps between the... More

Having read previous reviews of The Gunn House on Trip Advisor, my husband and I were looking forward to our stay here and our expectations were fully met. We found the staff here to be accomodating, friendly and helpful. It's quite a drive to Yosemite (an hour and a half - beautiful drive) so this place is an ideal stop... More
