Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in El Dorado cost?
Budget hotel prices in El Dorado vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $82 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit El Dorado?
The most affordable time to visit El Dorado, California, is typically during the shoulder seasons, specifically late autumn (October to November) and early spring (March to April), when the weather is still pleasant but tourist crowds thin out. During these periods, you're likely to find lower prices on accommodation and potentially better deals on activities, avoiding the peak summer rush and the colder winter months.

For solo travellers, visiting during these times means you can often secure better rates on smaller rooms or guesthouses. Many local attractions, such as the historical sites in Placerville, remain open, and the natural beauty of the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills is particularly striking with autumn foliage or spring blossoms, offering free scenic walks and drives.

Families could also benefit from these off-peak times, as the reduced demand can lead to more affordable family-sized accommodation options and less crowded experiences at local parks or gold panning sites.
How can I save on a budget hotel in El Dorado with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in El Dorado. Unlock our lowest prices by joining One Key™, Expedia's travel rewards program. It's free and easy to sign up, and you can access member perks too. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in El Dorado?
El Dorado, California, offers a charming array of free activities, superb for budget-conscious solo travellers looking to explore its natural beauty and historical character.

You can start by immersing yourself in the great outdoors with a visit to the El Dorado National Forest. Here, countless hiking trails wind through stunning landscapes, offering opportunities for scenic walks and wildlife spotting without spending a penny. For a more structured experience, consider a self-guided tour of historic Placerville, the county seat. Stroll along Main Street, admiring the well-preserved 19th-century architecture and learning about the Gold Rush era through informative plaques and markers.

Another excellent free option is exploring the various local parks, many of which feature picnic areas and walking paths. For instance, Community Park in Placerville offers open spaces to relax and enjoy the California sunshine. Solo travellers might also enjoy simply driving through the picturesque countryside, taking in the rolling hills and vineyards of the region, perhaps stopping at a scenic overlook for a breathtaking view.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in El Dorado as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in El Dorado for you.
