Sonoma, California: DoubleTree Sonoma

DoubleTree Hotel in Sonoma County

Updated 4/2021

Our Stay in the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel Sonoma Wine Country in California

As over-worked small business owners, we decided to play hooky traveling through Sonoma County for a couple of days.  Since we recently experience excellent service on our last stay in a DoubleTree, we booked a room at their Sonoma Wine Country property in Rohnert Park.

Our Journey Through Sonoma County

Our drive from our home in Davis pleasant with light traffic.  We chose a slightly longer route through Sonoma so we could take in the beauty of the Glen Ellen area vineyards.  The vineyards here are quite beautiful with green rolling hills as a backdrop. 

Arriving at the DoubleTree

As we arrived, I mentioned to my husband that since this trip would focus on cheese tasting, it would be perfect if we were given a free upgrade to a room with a refrigerator.  The hotel appeared fully booked, so I assumed that was impossible.   Astonishingly, when we asked about an upgrade, the polite receptionist stated that we already were.  Yippy! 

The Room

The room was immaculate and well-appointed with a large flat-screen television, desk, seating area, two bathroom sinks, and an updated shower.  Of course, I was thrilled with the refrigerator as well.  The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable, which I appreciated, as I have back and neck issues. 

The Staff

Everyone from those who clean the room to the groundskeepers, to those at the front desk were helpful and friendly.  Of course, the daily cookies were endearing as well.  It felt like home and safe during a pandemic. 

Wrapping It Up

Would I return?  Oh yes!  I hope you enjoy your DoubleTree visits as much as we do.  For now, I’m booking our next stay. 

Enjoy the journey!

      I enjoyed our visit so much! We stayed in a similar property while in Orlando. They also upgraded us to an amazing room because it was my 60th birthday. We looked over the Universal Studios which is lit up at night. It was wonderful. Of course, all those cookies were great too :)

      It's a great place to visit. I prefer the more northern area. But this was less populated. So, it's a balance. Next time, we'll be traveling a bit north of here where there are more creameries.

    I haven't stayed in a Doubletree for a very long time. Isn't is nice, though, when you have such a positive experience at a hotel? It can make all the difference in the overall enjoyment of your trip.

      So true. I think we have all had "those" visits in some hotels. I've never had a negative experience with Doubletree.

Kauai Vacation: Room Review

The Room Over The Power Plant Revised 4/2021 The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas offers guests beautiful rooms, which include kitchens or kitchenettes, outdoor grills, and a number of pools.  Most often, it includes an excellent restaurant, poolside bar, and small store.  A large grocery store is within walking distance as well.  Thus, the theory is that guests will not have to leave the property once they cross the big pond to reach it. Great theory, but that’s not necessarily true when the only on-site restaurant is closed.  Add to that the incredibly loud room...well, let’s just say I needed a break from the property at times.   Note : Follow Hawaii and CDC guidelines when visiting.  Always wear your face mask when in public. May we just see the room we should have had? After an exceptionally long journey that included a broken plane and a rushed connection—not to mention airport security—we were surprised to find that our hotel had our room ready an hour early.

Look Closer at the Hilton Garden Inn, Waikiki

  Why We Might Not Return: Hilton Garden Inn, Waikiki My dear polite travelers, Imagine waiting three years to revisit a pleasant memory.  You’d probably be thrilled to be on that journey.  Right?  Well, I am, and ...well, I’m lukewarm to some aspects of it, especially our room: #1537.  But the Ocean is Right There! In our room, #1537, we have the ocean view and the fresh breezes associated with it.  Still, due to the central, otherwise excellent location, it’s noisy—very noisy.  Thus, those breezes remain outside all night.  Darn.  The pleasant sweet-ocean-air-in-our-room-memory I dream of often eluded us on this trip.  Now, it’s just sad. The Good & the Weird Beyond the noise, it is a comfortable room—especially the shower—but there’s not enough counter space.  Instead of a long counter or desk, the hotel designer thought a long built-in seat would be a clever idea??  Hint.  It’s not.  We can only use it to store our suitcases and bulky items.   The only place to us
