This cute-as-a-button motel has spotless, cheery, retro-Americana rooms, but it's not
downtown. Valley wineries are a short drive. When available, last-minute bookings cost
just $89.
El Dorado Hotel
BOUTIQUE HOTEL
$165-265, Sat & Sun $245-325; )
Stylish touches, such as high-end linens, justify rates and compensate for the rooms' com-
pact size, as do private balconies, which overlook the plaza or rear courtyard (we prefer
the plaza view, despite noise). No elevator.

cl breakfast $189-239; )
One mile west of downtown, family-owned El Pueblo has surprisingly cushy rooms with
great beds. The big lawns and the heated pool are perfect for kids; parents appreciate the
24-hour hot tub.
