Great location. Super clean, comfortable, and decor was really nice. My only complaint is how noisy it was early in the morning, before 8am. The linen room was right next to my room, could hear staff talking, pushing carts. Noise also came from remodeling being done. And noise from other guests throw the walls.

I have stayed here for decades and they have maintained their quality. Best value in Napa, especially if you’re interested in the wineries in Yountville, Rutherford, Oakville, St Helena and Calistoga. Easy drive to these areas for dinner too. The pool and sauna are clean too and never overcrowded.
