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.

Pluses & Minuses of The Hyatt House Vacaville

Beautiful But Needs Adjustments to its Accessible Rooms My Dear Polite Travelers I recently read about a new Hyatt House and since I needed a short brain-tidy-vaca near my home base in Davis, CA, I ventured twenty miles west to the sprawling city of Vacaville, the shopping mecca of our general area.  The Lobby/Bar/Restaurant Walking into the lobby, I noted calming tones, striking art, décor, and welcoming faces.  The registration staff was delightful and efficient.  The attractive bar and eating area are tastefully decorated and have ample seating areas. In fact, the entire area was so lovely that I brought many of those decorating ideas home with me.  The restaurant’s menu was limited and similar to what is typically found at bars: hamburgers, pizzas… etc.  I ordered a hamburger which was delivered overcooked.  Grr… Accessible Room 133 First off, this is a gorgeous room filled with outstanding artwork.  It includes a kitchenette, small ...

Arizona: The Grand Canyon

Four Hours Visiting The Grand Canyon Updated 4/2021 I have an idea why the Grand Canyon is called “Grand”.    I theorize it’s because “Awesome Canyon” sounds more like stoner talk.  Joking aside, it is quite awesome and grand.   Recently, I was lucky enough to have a few hours to gaze wide-eyed at our big hole in the ground.  Since we (hubby & I) had only four precious hours, please follow along with what I found most important to see.  Note : Follow CDC and all park guidelines when visiting.  Wear a mask and social distance.     First Stop The first place to stop for those with limited time would be the visitor’s center.  Don’t worry about missing it.  There are plenty of signs pointing the way.  There, we found information offering park rangers, giant exhibits (displaying the entire canyon, trip planners, canyon-related history, and science), and a movie theater...

Two Hotels, Two Different Experiences—Hilton vs Hyatt Waikiki

Ah Hawaii, warm breezes, friendly people, and many lodging opportunities. Some are elegant, some are shabby, and some are just so-so. For the most part, my dear hubby and I have found our stays comfortable, but not always…perfect. What is perfect anyway? In Hawaii, perfect could simply mean looking out a clean window.  For this trip, we traveled and stayed in Waikiki. We know Waikiki well. It’s easy to maneuver through town, and it’s comfortable for my hubby, who is now living with mobility issues. Yep, a complete bummer. Still, we have found ways to help him enjoy—or sometimes simply tolerate—travel. (More on traveling by air in another post) As for our hotel stays, well, that requires a bit of finesse.  The Room Across from a Jet Engine--Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki  We’ve stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki multiple times but never in an accessible room. We chose this hotel based on its location and price. It’s not fancy or elegant. This Hilton is the typica...
