Exceeded Our Expectations- Lovely room and amenities

Our stay at MacArthur Place was wonderful. The amenities of the room, plush robe, plush slippers, and Dyson hair dryer far exceeded our current stay at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay. Love the layout of the hotel where it’s spread out and quieter. Staff was super responsive …if we wanted the fire pit turned on or Jacuzzi, etc. they would respond within minutes. Highly recommend this hotel!
Pampered and indulged

Decompression and relaxation were the order of the day and we were not disappointed. Our Garden shower suite was out of this world. Having a luxurious hot bath at 10pm in your own private garden is pure pampering. The food was spectacular too. As vegetarians there was plenty of choice and it was all so flavorful. I had 2 wonderful spa service which were a delight. All in all, the best stay ever. Thank you.

My wife and I recently enjoyed MacArthur Place on a few day stay in Sonoma. The entire property rooms and amenities are world class! We utilized the pool, the restaurant, and the convenient location to walk into Sonoma every day for tastings, dinners, etc. Overall an amazing stay at an amazing property that we would highly recommend to anyone traveling in the Sonoma area.
Total Luxury and Relaxation!

This is an absolutely beautiful property where every possible amenity has been well thought out and provided. The staff is incredibly helpful, friendly, and responsive, and go above and beyond to provide the best possible experience. We have never felt so pampered and relaxed, and hope to return soon. (The lavender scented bed linens were just one example of the many things this hotel does to enhance one's stay!)
We had a delightful stay and will be back

My family had an exceptional stay. We enjoyed how clean and spacious our room was. Chef Eric in his team prepared a memorable dinner with so many gourmet delights that made our dining experience a treat. We can’t wait to come back for another visit
