Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa

I visited the Fairmont in Sonoma, California. The weather was beautiful. Upon arrival, I valet-parked with a very nice gentleman. He pointed the way to the spa. Arriving at the Spa, Johanna was very helpful in showing me around. I enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. Unfortunately, the steam room was not available. My massage with Christian was the best. When I go back, Christian will be requested for another deep tissue massage. Overall, the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn is spectacular. The staff were friendly, and they were always checking to make sure everything was in order and available for their guests.

Horrific massage experience. The therapist wanted to go over the intake form before we began, even though I'd already filled it out prior to the session. So I sat down and we spent valuable massage time going over it. She smirked when she asked why I selected "balanced" for the goal of the session. She spent 1/3 to 1/2 of the massage time draping me and re-draping me and rubbing oil into her hands and walking around. She was flat out lazy. Then she instructed me mid-session that they have a policy about undergarments and that she could not continue, and she instructed me to put on paper underwear. She left the room. I put them on and got back on the table and waited. And waited. And waited some more. Finally I called out "READY!". Still more waiting. So finally I got up and left the room looking for her in the hallway....she was nowhere to be found. So at that point I simply went back to the room and began to put my clothes back on. At THIS point she finally came back, and I informed her that I was done. I've received thousands of massages - this was, bar none, the absolute worst experience I ever had. I was treated like a criminal for not knowing in advance about their policy, which she did NOT go over at the beginning of the session when she was interrogating me about their intake form. She was a lazy therapist who clearly is taking her unrelated trauma out on unsuspecting and innocent strangers. Truly and awful, awful, awful experience.

We spent our 30th wedding anniversary at this property. Love this hotel! The staff is amazing, and the breakfast is delicious! The pool is very relaxing and heated, so you never have to worry about being cold in the water. They have live entertainment on certain nights. It's just a very laid back place and the spa is amazing as well!

Beds are incredibly comfortable, service great, food delicious, facial wonderful! Very quiet and relaxing. Best place to celebrate a special occasion with friends!

we had a lovely time in a beautiful location. All the staff were kind and helpful. My facial was wonderful! Sharon was just so gentle and kind. My face feels younger. We had a great time in the body temperature pool, in the shade, just talking about life and families. A really special time.
