The breakfast was exceptional. The food was healthy, delicious, and the chef was super friendly. Probably the best hotel breakfast I've ever had.

Nada!

We chose The Ruse for a gals' birthday weekend. Everything was exceptional, starting with the pre-visit correspondence with hotel staff, the room, the grounds, the amazing breakfast, and wonderful service through to the final friendly goodbye. We all loved the stay and would not hesitate to come back again and again.

The cleaning smell was pretty intense and kind of made me a little sick. Once we opened the window it was better. Someone was walking arounds with heels all night it seemed like.

Beautiful grounds comfortable beds!

The room got very hot at night, to the point we ended up sleeping the whole night with the door propped open

Amazing amenities, especially for the size of the hotel. It was raining and cold, so we didn’t get to make much use of them but would love to come back when the weather is warmer

Can’t think of any thing!

We enjoyed our breakfast both days in the wonderful lounge building. I had fun putting. Wish we could have tried bocce ball but the weather didn’t cooperate - next time, and hopefully pickle ball too.

All good!

Beautiful impeccably maintained property away from the bustle of the plaza area yet .9 mile walkable to the plaza on an off road path. The newly renovated property has a “ less is more” design esthetic which is both functional, calming and appealing. Our queen room with private balcony overlooking the heated pool and sunsets was spotless and cozy with comfortable bed and crisp linens. Bathroom was equipped with good products, ample thirsty towels, robes and slippers. Breakfast was an unusual feature; no menu nor choice of food. However the prepared breakfast was IMO an elegant gourmet arrangement. Our table was set with OJ before our arrival. As I ( we) have no allergies nor specific food avoidance it was perfect! Aiden, the chef, was very friendly and had a great playlist! The aesthetic of the dining room with gas fireplaces was pleasing and offers an excellent view of the property. The staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful. Derrick was always around and we learned a good bit about the property and wine area from him. He was never too busy for a friendly chat making the stay very personable.

Breakfast was a bit odd. Although we were able to indicate that we were all vegetarians, we were not given any other choices and were served a pre-determined meal that was not what I would have chosen for myself. Also the portions were quite small and no bread or anything extra was served. We went out and got breakfast afterwards because we were hungry. Would have preferred a simple continental breakfast with fruit and bread.

Super comfortable beautifully decorated room.

Hidden gem. Gorgeous interior.

Derrick was so friendly and made us feel at home. He even brought us breakfast this morning since we didn’t make a reservation. And Christina was so helpful when we had problems with the TV.

Renovations to historic home were impeccably done. Staff was lovely. Breakfast was farm-to-table, gourmet and delicious. The 18 hole putting course was so much fun! Bocce and pickleball on site as well. Could easily spend a whole day at the inn.

Stunning property with gorgeous sunsets. Room was a good size with a fireplace. The included breakfast was scrumptious and was a good start to the day.

Facility was quite charming. They have 6 Pickleball courts so we were able to get in a few games. It was a convenient walk to downtown Healdsburg.

It was expensive, but then all hotels seem to be in this area. At least this was exceptional in every respect.

Amazing recreational facilities, beautiful decor, the pictures don’t really do it justice. The catering was individualised and really excellent, the chef was very personable. It was wonderful and I would definitely go back.
