Fodor's Expert Review El Dorado Hotel

405 1st St. W, Sonoma, California, 95476, USA

Guest rooms in this remodeled 1843 building skew contemporary with their Restoration Hardware furnishings, but the Mexican-tile floors hint at Sonoma's mission-era past. Each room has a small balcony or patio either street-side or facing a courtyard where guests lounge around the pool or sip cocktails. Although many patrons consider the Sonoma Plaza location above a bustling restaurant and bar a boon, earplugs are advised for all but the heaviest sleepers.

PROS

  • stylish for the price
  • on-site El Dorado Kitchen restaurant
  • central location

CONS

  • rooms are small, though patios and balconies keep them from feeling claustrophobic
  • street noise audible in some rooms
  • parking can be problematic
