What guests say
8.2 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 423 guest reviews
The Occidental Lodge earns consistently warm reviews for its charming forest-edge location, recently renovated and clean rooms, and friendly staff, making it a reliable base for exploring Sonoma County and the nearby coast. However, a recurring thread of complaints about bed comfort, limited in-room storage leading to bathroom clutter, and occasional noise from neighbouring rooms suggests some practical improvements are still needed. Overall sentiment is positive, with most guests indicating they would return.
