Kenwood Inn and Spa

My husband and I came here for our last quiet vacation before our baby is born, and it was lovely. We were warmly greeted at check-in with sparkling wine (very sad that only my husband could partake in that part) and given a tour of the hotel. Our room was spectacular and very clean. We stayed in room 17 on the 2nd floor and had a private front patio, a large room with a fireplace, and a bathroom with a ginormous bath tub and walk in shower. The hotel property was gorgeous. I spent a lot of my time out by the pool. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but you can have someone drop off snacks and drinks while you lounge. They also provide breakfast every morning from 8-10. I'm vegan and was able to find a couple of items to eat. My only gripe about the room is that it didn't have a small fridge to chill the wine we had purchased earlier in the day/store any left overs from dinner. But other than that, everything was absolutely perfect. Our time there was cut short due to the wildfires that began on our last night there. I want to say how great the woman who came and woke us up was. She was very calm and made sure that everyone on the property knew what was going on. There was no power or wifi and most everyone was asleep (this was around 2 a.m), so I want to commend her publicly on her excellent job of waking up everyone and getting us out of harms way! I hope to visit this wonderful property again someday.

We enjoyed our stay here with some friends. The hotel has a very European feel to it--the office closes at night and there is a phone number to call if you need assistance. The breakfast was delicious--it changed daily and we were always excited to see what they would have each day--the french toast and banana/yogurt pancakes were fabulous! Wine and cheese at the pool each day with a very friendly server who treated us like a friend. We really enjoyed the fireplace in the room as well as the cool, jazzy cd playing for us when we checked into the room. L'occitane bath products were lovely.

Perhaps one of the most disappointing places we have ever stayed. No bar, no room service (was told to get it myself), junior staff, super cheap and low-end cold breakfast, 11pm curfew, and rooms that live like gothic caves - all for $750$/night. Insane!

For the price I would have expected the rooms to be much cleaner. The tub had some staining, the vents needed a good vacuum, the carpet was grimey, and could have been replaced. The rooms were a decent size, had a fireplace, balcony, and huge bathroom. Just really really needed a good scrub. On the plus side, the grounds were beautiful and breakfast was included and decent. Both my husband and I were happy we only stayed one night though, especially for the price at 440 plus tax.

Just checked into the property. Lovely grounds and facilities as always. Complete, shocking miss on wine selection and attitude from the front desk. Last time we stayed here, we enjoyed the grounds and a wonderful wine tasting room with a very friendly and knowledgeable host who greeted folks and poured great wines from Sonoma County (and beyond). This stay, we were limited to a "sponsored" tasting from a well intentioned but mediocre vineyard located a few blocks down the street. When we asked about other options at the front desk we were told, "there are bars in the area you can go to if you want wine." Period. What?!...this from from the staff at the Kenwood Inn? One of the great pleasures of Sonoma County are the knowledgeable ambassadors of the the vineyards and gracious hosts found in nearly all the hotels, spas, and restaurants. The Kenwood Inn WAS one of the finest examples in my experience. I was literally shocked and deeply disappointed by the sad representation and poor hospitality on display this afternoon.
