We traveled to Sonoma for a wedding. We stayed here and had the best service. The front desk printed out maps for us to go on a beautiful drive. We stayed in one of the bungelows. It was a large room and quiet. This hotel has a great location on the square. We walked to local shops and restaurants. Fall... more

We had a room facing the courtyard and the pool (I've understood from other travelers that the rooms facing the street are very noisy). The rooms are a bit expensive, but we were very happy with ours. Clean, high ceilings, fridge and comfy bed. The location is also great for visiting both Samona and Napa. The pool is small, so... more

This was a very modern, but simple hotel. I liked that they had an ipod player in the room. Comfortable beds, nice balcony and fantastic location convenient to both Sonoma and Napa wineries. Make sure you eat at El Dorado Kitchen. It is fantastic! I would definitely stay here next time I am in Sonoma. more

EDH is located right on Sonoma square. For southern Sonoma county, you could probably not pick a better location, geographically. I would recommend this hotel to a friend SUBJECT TO THE CAVEATS BELOW. The rooms are nicely styled, VERY comfortable beds, decent bathrooms. Iron and ironing board, mini-fridge, and iHome iPod radio included. (The iHome in our room included a... more

We stayed here in May 2009 for a wedding at Sebastiani Wineries. Our room was paid for by the bride and groom, so I'm not sure what the cost per night was at the hotel. The hotel's location to Sebastiani is wonderful...within a 5 minute walk. The location of the hotel is excellent right in the midst of the town... more

We stayed here while passing through Sonoma on a wine country tour. In retrospect, driving all the way over to Sonoma from Napa just for a night at this hotel wasn't worth it. Yes, the courtyard/town square is cute and the shops/restaurants are nice, but overall the hotel wasn't worth the trek. The place has been updated to look a... more

I spent quite some time looking for accommodations in Sonoma for our anniversary. Because my first choice wasn't available and our budget wouldn't cover some of the very expensive alternatives, I chose the El Dorado based on a favorable review from our guide book. The reviews from this site prepared us for a potential noise problem, but I chose to... more

If you're willing to sacrifice space and updated luxury, this isn't a bad property. The El Dorado's location on the square provides a convenient starting point for wherever you want to go in the region, specifically as it relates to closer wineries (Sebastiani is within easy walking distance; we walked to Ravenswood but that may be a stretch for some).... more
