Hotel Lumberjack

Overall 2.4 out of 5The good Beds were comfortable Has fridge and microwave Suite with King is spacious (friends room)The bad and the uglyDouble Queen (our room) crampedTV is broken (we got comped on room 15% for it)One of our lights won't turn onThermostat was out of battery... And broken (I had spare batteries)Ran out of body wash and conditioner in showerOnly 2 pillows per bed with no spare in closetOnly 2 towels despite reservation for 4 (2 A 2 K)Questionable how clean the bedding isParking lot is cramp and across the street from check-inNo exhaust in the bathroomWindow sills are dirtyRecently renovated but a lot is already detoriatingI could probably go on... But you get the picture from there.The price isn't bad. If you need a place to sleep, it's not the worst place I've stayed at. But that's a backhanded compliment at best.

We've stayed in many Sonara hotels over the last 20 years. This one was our favorite. We had the King suite #206 in the corner. I was a nice size room, nice bathroom and shower, comfortable bed and nice sitting couch. You check in at Sonora Inn. Christina checked us in and she was very nice. The TV worked but the WiFi wasn't working so we wen't back to talk to Christina. She tried to reset it but it didn't work. She put in a work order ticket for repair; it was no big deal. Breakfast was ok. They have instant oatmeal, but no toppings line raisins or nuts. They had yogurt, hard boiled eggs mL, cereal, waffles, toast, juice, coffee and tea. It was a good stay overall.

Our hotel room was clean, but the rooms are motel rooms with an IKEA remodel. The front desk was very friendly.

We chose Hotel Lumberjack because we needed a place close to a wedding we attended. We toured the hotel months before to ensure it was clean and odor-free. The hotel had been refurbished, and we were happy to book after our tour.The wedding was on June 29th, and we were exhausted when we arrived on Saturday night. Unfortunately, there wasn't a single parking spot available. We called the hotel and were advised to park across the street at the Bank of America parking lot, as they have an agreement. This meant dodging a homeless person and traffic to cross the street.Upon entering our room (a king suite), we were hit with the smell of cigarette smoke, despite these being non-smoking rooms. With no other options, we opened the small windows (which were covered in cobwebs) to try and air out the place. We left as soon as we could in the morning and are now home, airing out our luggage and washing all our clothes.My advice: keep on driving. We really wanted to like this place, but it was a disappointing experience.

It was a little confusing at first, that we had to check-in across the street, at a different hotel. But the other hotel was a historic experience. The staff was professional and friendly. We were also able to use that hotel's pool, and it was where breakfast was served. The second hotel was a benefit to the stay. It is VERY reasonably priced, fully remodeled, charming, clean, comfortable, super friendly front desk and helpful cleaning staff, nice little breakfast in the morning. (FYI: the tv remote is bedside, sitting UP, inside a sanitary holder :O) I read a review that "the breakfast was useless" - NOT We would like to thank the hotel for that extra amenity. We made hot waffles, their coffee was stronger and hot, I took an orange for the road. What do you expect from a FREE breakfast? Some people are so sad to leave a bad review for this hotel. Thank you Lumberjack, for a respectful, comfortable, friendly stay.

We were looking for a modern spot in the area for a weekend getaway and stumbled upon Hotel Lumberjack. The location is ideal as it is right off the main road of stores and local restaurants. Once you park the car in their lot, no need to move it as everything is within walking distance. Checking in was easy as the main desk is a few steps away in the Historic Sonora Inn. The rooms are quaint and have that "new" feel with all the essentials. You can tell they took the time to design this place with care. It is well lit and felt very safe. The price was a little high overall but manageable since breakfast was included. Definitely will return!

Our absolute favorite hotel in Sonora! Newly refurbished in the last few years and it shows! Great service and nice modern ambiance in the rooms! Definitely recommend!

Cozy, quaint motel in downtown Sonora. Excellent location that is within walking distance to several eateries, watering holes, and shops. Front desk, check-in located at Sonora Inn located right across the parking lot. Continental breakfast has basic starch items including a waffle maker. Hard boiled eggs, OJ, coffee, bananas, cereal, and prepackaged muffins also available. Front desk clerk was very helpful and kind. The property has obviously been renovated. I found the 2 queen room to be on the small side. I would not recommend this size room for more than 3 people especially if you have luggage. The wall AC/Heat is inches from the bed and is not quiet. Our shower had toenail clippings and hair in it upon arrival. The barn style bathroom door was also quite heavy and difficult to close. Easy parking right out front (motor lodge style). Sonora is conveniently located 90min from Yosemite. 50min from Dodge Ridge, and also near lakes, rivers, gold rush historical sites. Price is reasonable.

Our family of 2 adults and 2 children originally booked a room at the Sonora Inn for Jan 1, but I received a call from the hotel 2 days before saying they overbooked and I had to be moved to their sister motel, the Lumberjack. Since it was short notice, I accepted the change. The 2 queen room was small, there were no bath towels, and the shampoo dispenser was empty. The bed sheets did not appear to be clean because I found hairs in them. Also, the barn style door for the bathroom was difficult to open and close because it was dragging on the floor. We won't be staying here again.

Pros: Rooms are small but they have tried to use the available space well.Cons: This is a sister concern of Sonora Inn. You have to cross the street to get to another building for breakfast and registration.-Breakfast was useless. Very minimal items.- Our bedsheet in the room wasn't changed. Looked used and had hair.-Bathroom had empty bodywash bottle. Since it was late and one had to cross the road to go to reception, we took shower without soap.- water was hot just for the first person. Rest of us had to do with luke warm water.- For a check in family of 4, we were provided just 2 towels.- the wash basin clogged after one person brushed and remained that way till checkout.- room is really small with little space to move around.- overpriced at $100
