"A+ Hotel. Cici at the front desk was the absolute best. Friendly, helpful, and professional. Everything about this hotel was wonderful from clean and comfortable rooms, 2 coffee stations in the morning as well as in the room, delicious food in the dining room (paella and braised short ribs) to the perfect location at the square. We also are across the street at Girl and the Fig - might need to make a reservation. It was delicious also. Highly recommend the El Dorado Hotel."
