    This boutique hotel was so nice. We stayed in a bungalow room off the pool. Super cute. Amenities were on point. Expresso maker, tea pot, nice glassware, carafe of water were great. Room decor was very nice and modern. Bedding, towels, and robes luxurious. Shower with rain head and hand sprayer so nice. Lighted mirror and lighted makeup mirror was a nice touch. We had a private sitting area outside our room that we loved. Staff was friendly and walked us to our room. Restaurant was delish. Had paella and scallops was delish and just as good, if not better than Girl and the Fig across the street. Very walkable. Several tasting rooms walkable. Plaza right across the street. We were lucky to see the night farmers market with live bands, street food, and vendors. Loved our stay. Would highly recommend.

    I've dined here a few times over the last few years and it has always been a lovely experience. Last night was no exception. Went there with a gaggle of gal pals to have a bite then walk through the lovely holidays lights in the Sonoma Square. Our waitress was very attentive (sorry I didn't get her name). We had a variety of appetizers and entrees - everyone liked what they had. Sorry I only took a photo of my carpaccio. They also have large lovely patio for nice weather dining. Highly recommended.

    Avocado toast, hard-boiled egg and mixed greens. Perfection! This set the standard for avocado toast!

    Whoa, ho, hooo!! What an expected fabulous experience this morning! We ordered huevos rancheros, two eggs, chorizo patties, potatoes and greens, and avocado toast. We were so pleased with each item ordered! I just got to talk about the avocado toast. It wasn't simply slight avocado. It was like the best gourmet avocado I've ever had! I didn't know avocado could be dolled up this well! And then it was like on brioche bread. And the mixed greens?!?! Truly incredible!! Waiter was wonderful, staff was friendly and appropriately attentive, customer seemed pleased, and they allowed us to take a walk around to see the entire dining area and the outdoor garden area in the back. We look forward to returning in two weeks with business associates. We already told them we want to have our meeting at this place!

    El Dorado Hotel is a solid option if you're looking to stay in downtown Sonoma. Populated with a nice variety of restaurants, wineries and shops all located along the square or a block off, it's a nice way to spend a day or two. EDG has a pool, 2 free bikes to use, the beds are wonderful, con: the rooms are super small. We went on a recent staycation mid week and got a still pretty high rate on Orbitz. We chose this spot mainly because with a baby, we could stay in the hotel and while lil' man sleeps, have a nice dinner downstairs in the hotel restaurant. And bonus: they have really nice pack 'n plays for babies! Again, rooms are small, but they are nice, and the bed is so comfy. Staff is nice and the pool area, although small, is nice to have! Just a few chaises, one umbrella area and that's it. Free parking for guests on their small lot is another bonus. Overall, a great option if you're looking to stay in wine country, but have more dining options and be in the thick of this quaint little wine town.

    The perfect spot to stay at when in Sonoma. It's located right on the square, offers a great view of the town, amazing restaurant downstairs, pool and room service.

You are welcomed with a small bottle of their local wine (Banshee Pinot Noir) and a personal note to kick off your stay. We appreciate the little details that make our stay enjoyable and special. If you score a ground floor room, the bathroom has heated floors. The water pressure, to note, is excellent. We also really enjoy the wood-burning fireplace for the ambiance and for the cold winter nights. A m e n i t i e s: There is a spa, gym, heated pool, restaurant (Layla), EV-charging, etc. Grounds are well kept. You can find a fire pit and water filling stations throughout the property. FYI - for the dog owners, there is no dog relief area on property. We went around the holidays and had a wonderful time with the festive events and activities offered. We thoroughly enjoyed the s'mores + hot toddy night and the hand-painted ornament workshop. We may need to return again during the holidays. And if you manage to get out to explore, downtown Sonoma is just about a 15-min walk away.

You are never more than 100 yards maybe from the pool, I had a view of it from my room. That pool (heated) and the gym are great, clean, not too many people (at least on weekdays in February), plenty of equipment. Plus of course there's the hot tub. I measured the length of the pool in Google satellite view and it's about 20 yards so you can get some decent laps in. There are seating areas in and near the lobby; my team had a spot to play board games in the hallway one night. We had a meeting room right off the bar for a small 3-day conference. We had some natural light coming through frosted windows but no direct. There was another room in a separate building with natural light that looked really great, but ours was fine too. All the drinks and food we got were great, as well as the coffee shop!

It was in perfect condition and so clean. The amenities were great! Prior to arrival, I arranged for them to provide a shower chair for my husband, who is ill. It was in the shower when we arrived. The bed was comfy, and the gas fireplace was a nice touch. We had a small patio and a separate porch, which were so nice to sit on for coffee or drinks in the early evening. There was a hot tub, but we didn't get a chance to use it. There were other bungalows, but we didn't see any other guests. It was a gated property. Shopping, the downtown area, and restaurants were all within a quick drive. Good delivery was easy and quick. It has a full kitchen and a good selection of utensils, dishes, and pots and pans. I recommend bringing your own spices if you plan to cook something special. I wanted cumin for a meal, but I could only find a huge jar at the supermarket.

On top of that, I had a very noisy neighbor with a baby crying throughout the night, which made for a less-than-ideal stay. I was understandably disappointed and shared my concerns with Lynn at the front desk. Lynn was incredibly kind, listened with genuine empathy, and made sure to communicate everything to her manager, Kendall. When I spoke with Kendall the following day, she was already aware of the situation, showed sincere concern, and took immediate action to make things right. That level of attentiveness and care truly stood out. Sometimes things don't go as planned, and issues arise; that's inevitable in hospitality. What matters most is how those situations are handled. Lynn and Kendall exemplify what great customer service should look like: professionalism, compassion and accountability. I will certainly be back on my next visit to enjoy this beautiful property and the outstanding service they provide. Keep shining and continuing to deliver a world-class guest experience.

How about when you first drive up the winding drive, and glimpse the first take of the stunning main building. I arrived at night, so all the ambience from the lighting, the moon, the glimmer off the fountain in the middle of the courtyard. Immediately was struck. Then I walked in to check in at the front desk - and I couldn't have been more welcoming. I had just made the marathon drive from Pasadena, CA, and was just tired, hungry and looking to get to the room and get to dinner. But the warm faces and kind words instantly washed the road away from me (and to be honest, the perfectly chilled glass of local champagne certainly helped that too!). They ensured everything was right with the room and with the stay and so I headed out to pick up the puppy from the car and settle up to the room. And then... there is the story of the puppy. Out of all the hotels and resorts I've stayed in - nothing NOTHING compares to the dog friendly (while still wholly human centric) service at this Fairmont. They made me feel like Chance was as much a guest there as I was. And all that isn't even to mention the concierge, the perfect cocktails from the bartender, the beautiful winding paths that guide you through the campus, the world class spa and massages (note - make SURE you check out the quiet room, nothing like it I've ever seen), the OUTSTANDING breakfast under the trees next to the pool... I just don't have time to list it all here. But the cherry on top - really is the people. They just... they are the magic that infuses everything in the building, everything in the resort, everything in the spa. They were there for me at every turn and at every moment, for every need. This couldn't possibly have been better - and I honestly can't wait to return.
