Staff was extremely helpful and friendly.

The room was nicely decorated and clean. No smells, liked the cookie treat, the nespresso machine. Some tea bags might have been nice too. The restaurant was very good. The bikes were a nice touch to ride to the wineries.
Nothing, we enjoyed our stay.

Unique hotel with old world charm but well appointed rooms and bath. Beds very comfortable, and we loved the location! Breakfast was great and staff very friendly.
There was a loud generator or engine type noise all night long, but we were able to sleep.

Location. Location. Location. Right in the heart of Sonoma - in walking distance of lots of shopping and restaurants and several hiking trails and bike trail. Room was very comfortable and bed was great. Small balcony was a nice touch. A heat pump in the room was particularly nice. Shower was great. Having a tea kettle and a coffee machine in the room was wonderful as was the refrigerator. We really liked this hotel. Staff was great and gave great recommendations for area attractions.
No elevator but hotel staff immediately brought any heavy luggage up. We didn't know about the pool or the bikes until day 2 of our trip and didn't end up getting to use them. Room was a little small for any big suitcases.

The location right on Sonoma Plaza. The room was clean and with all the amenities we needed and with wine stems. They had and we requested a room on the ground floor- the bathroom was very large and easy to navigate. The towels were fluffy and absorbent and the robes were convenient. The restaurant had excellent dining. The hotel staff was courteous and helpful.
The bed was too high off the floor to comfortably get on and off or to sit on it and the room was too small for chairs (two outside in front of the room, but it rained and we couldn’t use them). The bed was also too soft for us and apparently on springs that shook the bed with each movement of either of us.

I think they've undergone a recent refit so everything was superbly clean and tidy. Our room was small, but the bed was enormous and very comfortable, which is the important thing. Brilliant shower. Really helpful staff. Perfect location (not too noisy, despite being on the main square) we'd love to come back
The restaurant being vacuum-cleaned late at night (after 11pm) is really noisy - the screeching of the plastic on tile. We heard it in our room, upstairs, all the way at the other end of the corridor

Perfect location, great aesthetic, amazing restaurant downstairs.
There is no elevator nor a bellhop to assist with bags so you have to schlep your luggage up a decently long staircase yourself.
8.0 / 10.0
The room was a good size and had all of the necessary amenities. We particularly appreciated the ample number of charging outlets on both sides of the bed and the large bathroom. We also loved the ability to enter and exit the hotel via the parking lot instead of the lobby.
The air conditioner seemed to be a little wonky. We woke up multiple times per night because the room was warm.

Location
When we arrived the hotel the stairs restoration working makings noise.
There were no such information about noisy restoration on going in day time when I booked the hotel.
Room we stayed in the second floor without elevator in the hotel.
The hotel not stating no elevator.
Not making any sense for the hotel to make apologies after guests faced difficulties.

The El Dorado recently refurbished all of the rooms. The results are fabulous. My room overlooked Sonoma Plaza with a spacious balcony.
The rooms are beautifully decorated with all the modern conveniences and amenities you would expect at a 5-star hotel at half the price.
I love the vibe at El Dorado, having stayed there at least a half dozen times. In fact, it is the best hotel in the plaza by a long shot.
Nothing.

Staff was great; location was perfect and hotel was very clean
No elevator so you had to carry all your luggage up a long flight of stairs; rooms are very, very small- no chair, no desk-- nowhere to sit except the bed

The location was ideal for enjoying, food, shopping, and, of course, wine! We could walk everywhere but we’re still a short drive from wineries and other towns. The hotel did not disappoint!

The recently updated rooms (2024) are gorgeous and very comfortable. Housekeeping staff were very good. Front desk staff were friendly and gracious.
Soundproofing in the rooms was generally very good. Unfortunately, there was some transfer of noise from late night boisterous neighbors in an adjacent room. Bad luck, only.
Dinner in the hotel was somewhat expensive, ambitious presentation but disappointing. perhaps an off night.
