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.

Location was great, staff within the hotel was great and very accommodating. The room was awesome with a great view of the square and surrounding neighborhood. Its an older property so it has a bit of character and depending on the other guests can be loud at times but all in all a very cool place.
