The hotel is ideally located on the Sonoma Square-The El Dorado Kitchen had excellent food and service (we love the frites)...But the rooms are very small, AC is just barely adequate for summer temps and it is noisy in the PM--We came for the Napa -Sonoma Half Marathon so granted we went to sleep early but still too noisy for... more

I would definitely recommend the El Dorado Hotel. My friend and I stayed here for two nights over the July 4th weekend. From the minute we booked to the time we arrived the staff (younger and friendly) was very accomodating. The hotel is conveniently located right on the historic sonoma square, and while it doesn't look totally modern from the... more

Before booking this hotel we have looked at the hotels home-page. It looked really nice and we could get a bungalow (4 rooms beside each other in a building beside the hotel with private patio) for $195 Thursday night plus tax and 225 plus tax friday night. After haven gotten the room and looked around we opened the refrigerator and... more

A recent stay here was pretty bad for us. If its a hot day, and the Sonoma/Napa region can get hot in the summer, you will be in trouble here. It was almost 100 degrees by mid day on the weekend days we were there, and there was absolutely no air conditioning in our room. The bizarre thing was the... more

After The Sonoma Hotel lost our reservation, we headed across the street to the El Dorado Hotel. We were treated with such kindness and helpfulness by the front desk staff. They only had availability for one night (we needed three) but we took it because we were tired after a long flight from NYC and an almost 60-mile drive in... more

I loved the location and overall feel of this hotel. It sits right on the square. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the cafe in the morning was very nice. I would have no complaints at all if not for the noise. I had a room overlooking the pool area which is normally a plus. However, they serve... more

I definitely agree with all the previous reviewers said about the noise. The walls are really thin, and the property is located at the one of the busiest corners in Sonoma off Sonoma plaza, so traffic noise is also present. THAT SAID, I really liked this place because of the very contemporary feel. Most of the places up in Sonoma... more

We attempted to check in at 3pm and were told our room was not ready. We would have to wait about 5 minutes in the lobby. We probably waited more like 15 minutes which was irritating since other guests were being checked promply after us. Our room was larger that what I expected and was very clean. The balcony was... more

This hotel is located right in Sonoma square, and it was the last room available for the weekend. We felt the rate was reasonable at $195, and we really wanted to stay near the square. The modern room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. However, it was small, and there were no drawers. As previous reviews stated, it... more

The El Dorado Inn in Sonoma is an entirely average hotel, with no services and has serious noise problems. The rooms on the side border a street that is used by the garbage truck; the street sweeper (at 3:30 a.m.); food delivery trucks and general traffic. Because the hotel has spent no money soundproofing its rooms, it is if one... more
