Cinnamon Bear Creekside Inn — Hotel in Sonoma

|This was the most bizarre experience. At 8:15 pm I wanted to take a shower. Could not figure out how to get shower to turn on. I called the cell number given on the check in form and just got an answering machine. I went into the Bed And Breakfast lobby. On the left was a widely open door (with their dog going in and out) that led into a sitting room with a TV on. I was not sure if this was private or public area so I just stuck my head through the door and called "hello, is anyone there" . After a bit there was a string of curses (!!!) which came through an inner door. Remember this is not late, it is now 8:20 at night. The curses went on for a while then a male voice said "Goddamn it what is the problem" . I explained that I couldn't get the shower to turn on. Another string of curses then he said he was coming and all went silent. I retreated to the front door. After 10 minutes and no appearance, I again went to the door to the living area and called out "hello, are you coming?" which was responded with another "well, goddamn"...more curses..then "just wait, I was asleep and have to get up at 4 to cook your goddamn breakfast". Wow. And breakfast is not until 8:30 in the morning...He finally appeared and followed me to my room which was a free standing cabin outside. Halfway there, I noticed he was no longer following me. I returned to the lobby and called again. His wife now answered and said he was not there so I went back to the room. He was now in the tiny bathroom and said the shower was working fine. I asked what the problem was and he said none and I asked him to show me how to turn it on. he came out of the bathroom right into my face and said aggressively "how many nights are you staying????) (that was the only night so I guess he meant that it was running so he didn't need to show me anything). Turns out you had to pull the handle really hard straight out to get water to go on. Tight enough that I could barely do it. I have never been sworn at in a hotel before. Both he and his wife drank a lot of wine during happy hour so there may be a alcohol problem. The breakfast was great. The next day neither he nor his wife mentioned anything about the previous evening's bizarre events much less apologized.|Room not clean with dirt in entryway, hair in shower (I have grey hair, this was black) and scum ring on...

This was our first bed and breakfast experience and it was everything we thought it would be. They offered an evening happy hour with complementary snacks and wine from local wineries. Breakfast was homemade goodness and the staff was incredible. We were leaving before breakfast on our departure day so the manager gathered snacks and left them outside our door with recommendations for early morning coffee shops. We met a couple there for their 4th visit and they were planning their next trip back. If we came back to the area we would stay again as well. Our room, the Sarah Vaughn, was spacious and clean. The private bathroom only had a jacuzzi tub but the tub did have a showerhead. It was difficult getting in and out of the tub so it wouldn't be good for someone with limited mobility. We did find out later that there was a hall bathroom with a shower but we were fine using the tub and showerhead. The room faced the street where the street was surprisingly busy day and night and there was lots of street noise. It would be good to bring a travel fan or sound machine if you are not used to sleeping with street noise. The outside area was peaceful and we spent our mornings and evenings sitting there. They had a water fountain that drowned out any other noise so you felt secluded. They were refurbishing the outdoor area so I assume it will be even better in the Spring of 2024. The location was perfect. We were on the outskirts of the town square. If you are an adventurous walker with time to spare then you could walk, but we didn't have a lot of time so we drove to the square. There is a brewery and taqueria within walking distance so we took advantage of both. We were about 20 minutes from the large wineries which...
