It was perfect (but…)
The room was nicely designed and comfortable, it looked exactly like shown in the pictures but def a bit small but fine for our short stay. The restaurant is AWESOME, you won’t want to eat anywhere else. The only problem was that the walls are super thin. Our room was near the HVAC system so we had a lot of extra noise.

Lovely hotel on the square!
This is a very nice older hotel located right on Sonoma Square. The rooms have been nicely remodeled. Bed was super comfortable and bathroom was quite large. There is a nice restaurant on site. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. Only reason I did not give this gem of a hotel 5 stars was that they have an older HVAC system, and in our room, it was very loud. It kept waking us every time it kicked on. We expressed our dissatisfaction when we were checking out and the very nice person at the front desk explained about the old HVAC and said the hotel will be upgrading it in the near future.

Great location
The building is showing signs of age, but the staff could not have been more lovely and helpful. We had to change rooms because our HVAC stopped working, big shout out to all of the staff, but especially to Elisa, the daytime desk clerk. She and the other young Hispanic gentleman Working at the desk early in the day went far above and beyond. The hotel needs to give them a raise.

Should have a safe in the room for valuables, Expresso coffee doesn't cut it in the morning. I like several cups of coffee in the morning. Had to go to the lobby for a normal size coffee.Dinner and breakfast were excellent at the hotel.

First time staying in the main square and we will definitely do it again. We loved the El Dorado and the very easy walking access to a number of restaurants. Lovely property. Excellent staff. Wonderful food in the restaurants. We enjoyed being in town at night and driving out of town to vineyards and the bora iCal gardens. Highly recommend.
