❓ FAQ - Your Questions Answered!
Q: We're Marriott Bonvoy members. Were you able to use your benefits at this hotel?
A: Yes, we were! Even though the hotel is part of the Autograph Collection and feels very unique, our Marriott Bonvoy benefits still applied. We were able to get free drinks and, most importantly, free breakfast, which is always a big help for the family budget.
Q: What were the room options like? Did you get a standard room for your family?
A: They have a few different types of rooms. I saw they have these really nice-looking cabins, which seemed perfect if you were on a wellness trip or doing a wine-tasting tour. Since there were three of us, we opted for an extended hotel room in the main building, and it worked out well for our stay.
Q: What did you do for food? We might be arriving late, too.
A: We actually did arrive pretty late, but we were relieved to find that Uber Eats was still delivering to the hotel. It was a lifesaver! For other meals, the free Bonvoy breakfast was our go-to in the mornings.
Q: We're traveling with kids. You mentioned Snoopy; can you tell me more about that?
A: Yes! If your family likes Peanuts, Santa Rosa, which is the "home of Snoopy," is only about a 15 or 20-minute drive away. It's a really easy and fun little side trip to make while you're in the area.
Q: Besides wineries, what other local things did you find to do?
A: We found a really fun olive oil tasting! It was a different kind of activity and just as interesting as the wineries. There were also some nice local markets just a few minutes from the hotel that were great for just browsing and grabbing some local flavor.
❓ FAQ - Our Stay at The Lodge at Sonoma
Q: What were the room options like? Which one did you pick?
A: The hotel has a few different types of rooms [00:42]. They mentioned cabins, which I think would be great for a wine tasting trip [00:42]. Since there were three of us, we just opted for an extended hotel room in the main building, and it worked out well for our family [00:50].
Q: I'm a Marriott Bonvoy member. Could you use your benefits since it's an Autograph Collection hotel?
A: Yes, we could! Even though I know these hotels are independently owned, our Marriott Bonvoy benefits still applied [01:38]. For us, that meant getting free drinks and a free breakfast, which is always a huge help [01:38].
Q: Was there much for a family to do in the area, or is it just wineries?
A: There was quite a bit! It's definitely in wine country, with wineries and olive oil tasting nearby [02:46, 02:59]. But we also found some interesting local markets [02:40]. Plus, it was only about a 15-20 minute drive to Santa Rosa, which is the "home of Snoopy," and we'll show more of that in our next video [03:12].
Q: Did the hotel have any amenities you found useful?
A: It had a pretty decent gym for a morning routine [02:11]. One thing I was really thankful for was that we arrived late, but we were still able to get Uber Eats delivered right to us [01:30]. They also have this really sweet "dream wall" by an old oak tree where people leave their wishes [01:54].
