My stay at El Dorado Hotel & Kitchen was nice, with the luxurious linens and aesthetic decor making it a delight. However, the restaurant service was slower than I had hoped during peak hours.
The room's elegant design and comfortable furnishings created a welcoming atmosphere. though I found it to be a bit small for my liking.
The bell staff and porters were attentive and helpful, making my arrival seamless. yet, my requests for certain services took a tad longer than expected.
The hotel's prime location allowed for easy exploration of Sonoma's charm and wineries. I just wished there were more nearby dining options.
Dining at El Dorado was a highlight, especially the fried fish. although some menu items felt overpriced compared to portion sizes.
The range of facilities was impressive, particularly the dry cleaning and tour assistance. still, it would have been great to see a spa offering for relaxation.

My stay at El Dorado Hotel & Kitchen was quite pleasant, highlighted by comfortable accommodations and friendly service. although I did encounter a few hiccups with the dining experience. The location in Sonoma was perfect for exploring the area, making it a great base for my travels.
The room was cozy and well-appointed, featuring plush linens and a comfortable bed. though the size felt a bit cramped at times.
The staff were attentive and welcoming, always ready to assist me. but at times, the response was slower than I expected.
Situated right in the heart of Sonoma, it was easy to walk to local attractions and wineries, which I loved. yet parking could be tricky during busy hours.
The Italian-inspired cuisine was delicious, especially the pasta dishes. however, the wait times for service were longer than anticipated.
I'm impressed with the available services like laundry and tours, adding convenience to my stay. but I didn't get a chance to use the dry cleaning service.
