Hotel
We have several rooms guaranteed for our party at this hotel! However, the nightly fee is not fixed, so we suggest booking this as soon as possible to lock in the cheapest rate. Note: You must *call* the hotel to make a reservation under the Hays/Connell party. Once this is at capacity, the next best option would be Sonoma Valley Inn (details below)!
