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.

Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa Review

Art, Excellent Service & Penguins...Oh My My Dear Polite Travelers, Maui has experienced some horrific natural disasters, including a devastating fire and, more recently, torrential rain that caused severe flooding.  However, none of that was visible during my last visit.  The Hyatt Regency Maui Resort is a huge, richly landscaped, multi-building beauty.  It includes a 40-acre oceanfront lagoon and a waterslide into a children’s splashpad.  However, I saw many more adults enjoying the splashpad than children.  It did look inviting.   Directly adjacent to the lobby is a penguin den.  Guests are invited to watch a daily penguin presentation.  I enjoyed watching them play.  They are quite adorable.     Dining & Shopping In the main building, you’ll find multiple shops, including a gallery filled with unique and quite excellent art.  My favorite shop was actually Honolulu Coffee .  As a family-owned,...

A Few Days in Palm Springs

Palm Springs Activities Hello, my Polite Travelers, As an older couple, we often just want to relax and enjoy our favorite places at a leisurely pace. This was the case during our recent revisit to Palm Springs. For the most part, we explored downtown, stopping for coffee and chatting with the locals. Additionally, we embarked on a few other excellent adventures. Agua Caliente Cultural Museum As a Smithsonian Affiliate, I found this museum to be outstanding.  This museum is a mixture of immersive video, sound, and visuals (including lifelike exhibits) to tell the story of America’s rich—and many times heart-wrenching—indigenous story.  The permanent gallery begins with the 360-degree immersive video of the Agua Caliente “Creation & Migration” story.  The quality of their digital animation and sound is impressive—there’s even a screen on the floor.  I found their creation story to be fascinating. Don’t Miss! For the Love of Art! Don’t Miss The Palm Springs Art M...

Did that really happen at this Hampton Inn?

Hampton Inn & Suites Palm Desert, CA—Hotel & Room #330 Review Hello, my Polite Travelers. We are now in sunny Palm Desert, and it is a grand place.  Everything looks clean and new.  Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the Hampton Inn.  It pains me to say it, but this hotel needs some love…and perhaps a good handyman.  Our room is an accessible room for hubby.  On first glance, it’s adequate, with space between furniture and grab bars in the bathroom.  That’s only the first glance.   Blink once more, and there are a few issues for both the mobile and mobility-challenged .  First, although the bathroom features plenty of grab bars, the toilet is too low, and accessible toilets require taller seats.   The shampoo bar is too high, and there’s no pull-down seat in the tub.  Those in wheelchairs would require a different room, and most mobility-challenged people can’t reach up to access the shampoo bar.   ...
