Booking hotel rooms

Hey, good news! We have information on booking hotel rooms. Slightly more info on each hotel can be found in the post directly below this one, or by visiting the hotel website.

Best Western Sonoma Valley - 220 2nd St West, Sonoma

Call the hotel at 707-938-9200. (Yes, technophiles, you should use the telephone.) When you ask for reservations, mention the Richards/Sutton room block. Easy peasy. Extra good news about this one, if any locals need/want a hotel - you don't have to book both nights. You can just get Friday night.

They have a variety of room configurations, and prices that go along with that. The basics are one king-sized bed or two queen-sized beds. King bed rooms are $160-$170 on Thursday night, $200-$220 on Friday night. The price difference depends on if you want a fireplace or not. Queen bed rooms are $190 on Thursday, $240 on Friday. They all have a fireplace. Prices don't include tax. You must make a reservation here by February 8 to get these rates.


The Lodge at Sonoma - 1325 Broadway, Sonoma.

This one can be reserved over the phone by calling 888-710-8008 and ask for the Richards/Sutton room block. Or you can go online. The link isn't working right now, but I'll put it in when it is back up and running.

The rooms here are a two-night minimum (Thursday the 25th and Friday the 26th). $149 per night, not including taxes and fees and whatever else they're tacking on these days. You must reserve it by March 5 to get this rate.

I highly encourage room sharing. If you're looking for someone to share a room with and don't know who to ask, leave a comment and we'll try to help out.
