Top Tuolumne County Museum Hotel Reviews

Heritage Inn Yosemite/Sonora

8/10 Good

"Ample parking. Clean, comfortable, no frills room (fridge clean and cold and coffee maker was available). Breakfast is available and staff is friendly. AC was effective and black out curtains are helpful. Location near “downtown” Sonora is super convenient. Coffee shops, a bakery, and restaurants are all just a few blocks away. WiFi was free and good bandwidth. Good value!"

Country Inn Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super helpful at check in, especially since I came in close to midnight and was ready for bed. Hands down best shower I've had in a hotel in a long long time. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area."

Historic Sonora Inn

8/10 Good

"Spacious suite all remodeled inside."

Hotel Lumberjack

10/10 Excellent

"A little odd that you have to cross the street and go to the other hotel to register and for the breakfast. But it works"

The Inn on Knowles Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing decor, incredible comfortable bed. The staff is attentive and friendly. But best of all is the incredible delicious breakfast cooked by the proprietor. Not enough words express how delicious and beautifully prepared and presented it all was. Highly recommended."

Beautiful Updated Home in Downtown Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great house. Exactly as described, clean, spacious with a beautiful backyard. Host was very nice and responsive to questions we asked ahead of time. The house was perfect for our needs."

Historic Home in Downtown Sonora!

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fantastic place to stay if you are visiting the Sonora area. Pros: - Location: right on Sonora's main drag (at the upper end); it's about a half mile walk downhill to the furthest downtown thing. - Space: This is a conversion of a pair of 2-1.5 apartments - the space is huge!- Water Pressure: Unusual for a house of this vintage to have great water pressure, but this one did. - My boys loved the Larger than usual bunk beds - Host: fantastic friendly host who made sure to let us know that if we needed- Four (!) separate A/C controls - I'm sure this is clutch in the summertime when it's hot in Sonora.Cons: - Location: Highway 49 [Sonora's Main Drag] is busier than we expected, and vehicles traveling it were louder than expected - this may not be a great spot for light sleepers or "early to bed" types. - As a side sleeper, King Bed was a little firmer than I like.Other notes: - Layout is quirky, with two staircases heading to the top floor. There is a pass-thru from side to side on the upper floor, but you have to also pass thru bedrooms to use it. Verdict: This is a fun place to stay if you're in the area, which makes it feel like you're a part of the downtown. We'd stay here again if we are re-visiting the area."

Steps to Main St! Restored Sonora Bungalow w/ Yard

10/10 Excellent

"Host was very pleasurable and allowed us to check-in early. The house was as described and was close to downtown Sonora where we checked out the farmers market and got dinner. Very cozy stay!"

Historical Victorian with Modern Touch. Garage with EV Charger

10/10 Excellent

"This property is historic, yet modern improvements inside. Access is for those who can navigate historic property’s. Stairs, steep streets, narrow passages can be a challenge to some. Once inside, it’s worth it! Plus great hosts"
