Historic Sonora Inn - A Gold Rush-Era Hotel with Rooftop Pool and Sierra Nevada Views
Located in a preserved gold-rush town, this 3-star Sonora hotel sits at the heart of Gold Country along Highway 49. Historic Sonora Inn features Victorian-inspired rooms, including spacious King Suites on the top floor with private vanities and seating areas. The property offers a rooftop pool overlooking the Sierra Nevada mountains, open from Memorial Day Weekend through early fall. A continental breakfast is served daily in the ground-floor breakfast area. The 624-square-foot event space accommodates small to medium gatherings, from corporate meetings to family reunions. The Sonora Inn stands steps from downtown's restaurants, museums, and Opera Hall, with Columbia State Historic Park 4 miles away. Hiking trails, skiing at Dodge Ridge, and kayaking spots surround the property, while Yosemite National Park is accessible by car.

Cons

“The historic charm here feels genuine, not manufactured, and the rooftop pool offers a distinctive mountain vista. What stands out is the staff's knowledge of local attractions; their personalized recommendations made the visit memorable. While the downtown location means some street noise, requesting a room away from Main Street should mitigate that.”
