Smelly room
Pros:

The room absolutely reeked of cigarette smoke. It was horrible. All of our belongings had to be washed because the smell permeated everything. The shampoo was empty and the breakfast was very lack luster.

Great stay! We hope to return!
Pros:

The hotel was clean, with comfy beds. The rooms were spacious and well furnished even including a microwave. There’s convenient parking right outside and the location couldn’t be better! It’s right in the middle of Sonora with walking access to the highstreet shops and restaurants/cafes but off the high street so it’s quiet. Great to have access to a lovely pool with the heat!

Cons:

It would be good to have some guidance written in the bathroom on how to use the shower as we found this confusing although eventually worked out you just have to turn it up all the way to get hot water.
Breakfast is mainly single packaged items and single use cutlery and bowls/plates which didn’t feel environmentally friendly. But I do appreciate that the hotel might not have consistent guests and staff demand as this is a small town and tourism seems to be seasonal.

Een prima stop voor een nachtje
Pros:

De locatie is top en de mevrouw die ons incheckte superaardig. Het is verder een opgeknapt motel, prima voor een nachtje. Het was wel echt jammer dat het zwembad was gesloten, het feit dat de kinderen even konden zwemmen na een lange dag in de auto was 1 van de redenen dat we dit hotel hadden geboekt. Het ontbijt moet je niet veel van verwachten, maar ach. Het restaurant aan de overkant (Armory) is leuk en je krijgt 10% korting omdat je in Lumberjack verblijft. Al met al, een prima stop.

Cons:

Zwembad buiten gebruik. De kamer was wel echt klein, we konden de koffers niet in de kamer hebben eigenlijk.

Not a clean hotel
Pros:

I had a positive check in experience at the Historic Sonora Inn, but unfortunately everything went downhill once we walked next door to their sister property, Hotel Lumberjack.
As soon as we opened the door to our room, we noticed several cleanliness issues. Although the bed appeared to be made, there was hair all over the bedding, and the comforter had what looked like dried snot on it. The bathroom sink barely drained, the bathroom door wouldn't close properly, the shower was dirty, the floors were filthy, and the towels didn't appear to be clean. It was so unsanitary that we didn't even feel comfortable taking our shoes off. I immediately went to the front desk and asked to be moved to another room. While they did relocate us, the second room wasn't much better. The sheets hadn't even been made, which made us question whether the rooms were being properly cleaned at all. Since we were traveling with two small children, checking out and finding another hotel late in the day wasn't convenient, so we decided to make the best of it. Unfortunately, our night only got worse. Around midnight, there was a great deal of noise coming from the parking lot, making it difficult for our family to sleep. On top of that, the air conditioning unit was incredibly loud. I honestly don't understand how this hotel could have been recently renovated yet have so many maintenance and cleanliness issues. The online photos are very misleading and do not reflect the actual condition of the property. I also spoke with the front desk manager Brianne regarding my concerns, but I didn't feel that my complaints were taken seriously or handled with much care.
This was, without a doubt, one of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. Between the lack of cleanliness, maintenance problems, noise, and poor overall experience, I cannot recommend Hotel Lumberjack. If I could give it a negative one-star rating, I would.

Muy bonito hotel , pero necesitan mejorar algunas cosas .
Pros:

Muy limpio , muy cerca de restaurantes ,del banco , puedes hacer muchas cosas caminando. Todo parece recién remodelado .las sábanas ,las toallas parecen nuevas .

Cons:

Desafortunadamente NO tienen cable , el televisor es nuevo pero solo funciona al conectar tu celular o laptop . No puedes ver los canales regulares , solo Youtube o Netflix en temporada del mundial queríamos disfrutar los partidos en cama pero no pudimos .
Avisamos en la registration y no nos ayudaron , solo
dijeron que lo sentían pero no podían hacer nada .
Ni el webside ni el personal del hotel nos advirtió que el televisor NO servía .
Las pompas de jabón para manos , shampoo y crema no servían estaban en una base que no se podían sacar , la refri pequeña tampoco funcionó
El parqueo es pequeño, cuando está lleno te tienes que ir al otro lado de la calle a dejar tu auto .

The location is very charming, the staff were excellent and friendky, and the King rooms were very nice + comfortable
Pros:

It was a very pretty area and the actual hotel rooms were newly furnished. The staff said they were made just 5 years ago and are their most loved spaces. The King rooms were wonderful!

Cons:

Nothing much was bad except the parking lot was pretty small and packed for the time we stayed (Wednesday - Thursday), still found a spot though!

very disappointing for the price I paid and no onsite security.
Pros:

breakfast was adequate and the location was okay. One street over from the main throughfare. But the check-in clerk was pleasant and offered me a place in which to eat, which was great.

Cons:

I had to walk across the street to another hotel just to check in. There is no on-site manager. Furthermore, there was no coffee pot to make some coffee, and there was no remote TV control. Additionally, I tried to log on to the internet but my anti-virus program would not let me log on because of "suspicious connection" . Also, the street next to the hotel had a constant traffic of what seemed to be homeless people. I did not consider it safe at all.
