We stayed here for one night, and my wife and I had an amazing stay. The location is perfectly situated in the Plaza, making it great to walk around to explore and later find a great meal to eat. Upon checking in the staff was friendly and when we went upstairs to our room we walked into an immaculate room room that even had cookies and a personalized note. While the parking lot was full, after dinner we had no problem finding parking right in front of the hotel. Everything made for a perfect night away.

The El Dorado Hotel was an excellent stay. The property was very clean, the service was kind and attentive, and the room was immaculate. I especially appreciated the architecture and the thoughtful styling of the room, which added to the hotel’s overall charm. Despite being in the city center, it was peaceful and quiet, yet conveniently within walking distance of everything. I would definitely stay here again.
