Seven Branches Venue and Inn

Unassuming from the street, I was bit concerned about what I booked - but then you step inside and meet the lovely staff! The hotel is just lovely! Built as a place to hold extended "cooking classes" (Kat Cora has taught there!) the rooms are large and the bathrooms are equally as spacious. It is designed to appear like an older Italian villa. The courtyard is just lovely! I can see why they host wedding and events here - it really is just perfectly suited for that. They leave fresh pastries outside your door in a basket hanging by your door each morning. It is only a 5-10 minute walk to Sonoma Plaza. We truly enjoyed staying here and the staff was wonderful! Thank to Emily for quickly returning a bracelet I had left behind!

This review is regarding renting out a room, not attending an event. Stayed here for a few nights recently while exploring Sonoma wine country. The location is great, just a 10-minute walk from the Sonoma town square. The grounds are also inviting and clean. The biggest problem was the room. My wife and I stayed in room 1. It was very spacious and clean, and had a very nice upgraded looking bathroom; however, the room had some odd features that made the stay less enjoyable. For one, room one didn't have side tables next to the bed. Instead, it had a shelf behind the bed, which is awkward to use. The A/C was very powerful, but so much so that it was a bit over to top loud when turning on. There were no window trea**ents on the windows, just blinds. The tv is miniature, maybe 19", and it very far from the bed, and also situated up on a high shelf off to the side, which made it unusable. The bed was also very soft. That might be ok for some, but for me, it made my back ache. The room had so much potential, but it seems like it was put together by someone who didn't know what they were doing. Looking at pictures, the other rooms seem to be better.
