The Inn at 161 - Sutter Creek, California

Lynda K.

A group of 14 friends stayed at The Inn at 161 for four nights and Kerry accommodated us above and beyond expectations from the minute we checked in. She made sure we had everything we needed, and then some. Our room was very clean and the pillows and beds comfortable. It’s a beautiful property in a fantastic location downtown Sutter Creek. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great little B&B in town, very quaint and pretty. The owner, Carrie, gave us personalized service and was diligent in making sure we had a nice stay.
The rooms are well appointed, and we had the Brönte Room. Water pressure was good in the claw foot tub! Continental breakfast in the cute dining room was very nice. The only possible issue that could arise is having a neighboring room keep their television on late, as the walls are thin (as expected for a vintage house). We had no problems.

Wonderful, romantic spot to stay. Super clean, Mary on the staff was so nice and very friendly. The room exceeded our expectations. You can walk downtown easily. Absolutely loved it!

It was a wonderful experience. We had good service, and free breakfast in the morning was delightful. The staff served us coffee when we walked in for breakfast. If I am ever in Sutter again, I will come back here.

Gorgeous property and equally well laid out suite. Very quiet place,at least while we were there.The breakfast next morning was a bonus with fresh pastry, loaded oatmeal, speciality coffee etc.

AVOID THIS PLACE!

First of all, PLEASE DO read the response from the hotel below. This should tell you everything you need. She falsely accuses us of leaving due to political views!? This was never discussed and false. Other guests were lovely and cordial. I believe instead this person looked at where we live and made assumptions about us, and I believe, took her position because of it. Wow. And, her offer (not even for a full nights stay) was useless as it was 10 years since our LAST stay. We left for a family emergency as we stated clearly. Considering further action.

ORIGINAL REVIEW

We stayed one night. That part was fine, although in truth it had been much better when we stayed in the past under different ownership. But HERE'S where you get a real sense of the place.

My wife and I had booked two nights but had to leave unexpectedly due to a family emergency. We notified Mary very early at 8:30am on the morning of our 2nd day (PLENTY of notice to re-rent room if that's what they wanted), who told us that if it was up to her she'd certainly provide a refund for 2nd night, but it was up to Kerry, the GM, who'd be in later.

Long story short, even explaining everything, providing early notice, a note, and a followup call from the road home, we were turned down flat. No real compassion, just a pretty craven money grab. I say this having owned several successful businesses. You can ALWAYS do right by your customers.

So, in summary, we arrived at 5pm, left at 9am, hardly mussed the sheets, didn't even take showers, and were forced to pay for 2 nights. Needless to say, we'll never be back. There are too many other better alternatives. And, it really isn't about the money at all but the lack of empathy, caring and class. I never write negative reviews, but I just had to this time. BUYER BEWARE with this place.

May I say, AMAZING!! My husband found this little piece of heaven online for a really good price! We stayed 2 nights during the week and once we arrived the host greeted us right away and got us all checked in! The room was so fresh and clean and just beautiful. Like home away from home! I wasn't even scared to sleep on the sheets or use the pillows or blankets provided because the lien's were so clean and fresh (I typically bring my own pillows and sheets and blankets on any trip I go on. Yes I know, I am weird but I am a germ freak lol). In the morning, she provides a nice Continental breakfast to all her guest. The breakfast consists of yogurt parfaits, boiled eggs, bagels, and cream cheese, oatmeal with brown sugar and cranberries, and a nice hot cappuccino. Boy that was such a nice start to our day! My husband couldn't even wait for breakfast to come in the morning the night before. That's how good it was. Now the ONLY suggestions we have is, maybe providing a two-step little bench for the bathtub because it has such a high side to it that it's kind of hard to get into the tub because you don't have anything to really grab on to or hold on to getting in and then when your exiting the tub, the floor is a bit far down so you kinda lose your balance as getting out of the tub if you're not prepared for it. I did loose my footage and caught myself by the sink. Thank goodness. Now we stayed in room #3 and the bed was super and I mean super soft and you sleep in a indentation in the mattress where others have slept over and over so maybe it's needing a new mattress or maybe a flip. One last suggestion, maybe putting a small radio in the dining room on low playing some Frank Sinatra or some oldies but goodies for breakfast so it kinda breaks up the silence in the room and helps people fill comfortable carrying on a conversation with each other. These are just a few suggestions we thought we would share. We just want to say from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU so much for the wonderful stay and we will be back very soon to enjoy your beautiful Bed and Breakfast!!
