Beautiful hotel and grounds!

The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and food was very fresh. Grounds were amazing. We enjoyed the pickleball, putting green and pool. Close enough to Healdsburg square to walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would like to return.

We had a great time at The Ruse. This was the best stay we had on our California road trip! Every member of the staff was incredibly helpful and kind. The groundskeeper, both front desk workers, and chef for breakfast specially went above and beyond to make sure our stay was incredible.

This is a clean property. Not really comparable to other hotels/ resorts since there are no food options on site other than breakfast. The room and the facilities are well maintained.

Excellent Healdsburg Inn

One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed at. Great small hotel, beautifully maintained and walking distance to downtown Healdsburg.

Beautiful oasis type setting in Healdsburg but not in the main square. Breakfast was amazing and served by the chef himself.
Daniel, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

This is not a good place to stay

Our $383 king room was small and cramped. It seemed very undecorated and rather monastic. There was no comfortable chair and only a tiny round table which was not useful for anything. The lights were so dim (including in the bathroom) that it was even hard to apply make up -especially because there was no make-up mirror. The bathroom had no counter-space on which to put our stuff. It also had no towel hooks or towel bars to hang things from. We were supposed to eat breakfast in the pavilion, but we were called in the morning and told it was closed for a private meeting so the food would be delivered to our room or outside on the communal deck. We told them that was not possible because there were no tables. We had to looked around ourselves for a suitable place to eat (and found a small table outside the pavilion) The only reason I did not give this place one star is that the grounds are pretty, it was quiet and the breakfast was pretty good.I could go on and on but needless to say- we don’t recommend saying here!

I cannot wait to visit again in near future! Everything, from the room and accommodations to the grounds and staff, was just top notch. What put The Ruse over the top was the amazing custom breakfasts from the chef, who delivered our meals himself! Love
