The continental breakfast is supposed to be open by 7:30am. The coffee and fruit wasn't put out until almost 8 am. If you are going to host a breakfast have it ready by 7:30.

Room clean. Stayed in room 20, fireplace lit up by itself, and near my room. Perfect since my family member uses a cane, and had a toddler. Definitely staying again. Will bring earplugs due to heating system was loud, so not central heating. Near they highway and did not hear it. Definitely recommend!!

The style and ambience of the hotel was in keeping with the wine country setting. The room was the only third floor suite which provided a beautiful view and setting. The suite itself was spacious and the kitchenette was fully functional with beautiful cabinetry. The bathroom was spacious and had a deep soaking tub. Very friendly staff, too!

This was a clean and comfortable room.. #37. Perfect location in st. Helena. Nice linens and a huge shower. Courteous treatment at the desk, spa was wonderful, Keurig coffee maker was handy. However, I would bring my own pods next time. The continental breakfast was simple, but healthy choices were available. I would absolutely stay again for the price
