nice hotel in sonoma city square

Very nice stay. The hotel is small but the rooms are nice sized. The hotel is in the center of town and we enjoyed that. Sonoma is a smaller town, well oriented to tourists with historic sights as well as wine. food at the hotel was very nice, staff very nice and helpful. Would return should we ever come that way again
william, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Tricia, 2-night trip

Perfect weekend getaway spot

Just perfect lovely hotel in the heart of the mix
Veronica, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, lovely, comfy bed, friendly helpful staff. Conveniently Right on Sonoma square. Had breakfast at Hotel restaurant. Everyone in our party of 9 loved our breakfast. Only negative is no elevator…we were ok, but if anyone cannot manage stairs, they wouldn’t want to stay here. Because it’s a certified historical building, I guess this exempts them from having handicapped accommodations? Otherwise it was an excellent experience and we’d return.
Karen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful historic hotel with great amenities and gourmet food & beverages, in perfect central location across from the downtown square park. King size bed was super comfortable and the bathroom shower was awesome. We enjoyed the private pool all to ourselves.
