Top Novato History Museum Hotel Reviews

Oxford Suites Sonoma County

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great staycation! The shuttle driver was very friendly and a good driver . Our room was clean and the bed very comfortable."

Napa Winery Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Na"

The Meritage Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great resort, we will be back!"

The Charles Napa, an Artfully Designed Inclusive Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the back cottage unit. The room was a beautiful French country stylish design. Ample space and privacy. Lots of room in the walk in closet and a jacuzzi tub big enough for 2. Very comfortable king size bed with fresh sheets daily and a very luxurious comforter. There is a lovely breakfast service in the main house with an option to sit and dine with other guests. Otherwise just a French press coffee in the room . The staff offers a butler like service. Very professional and friendly. There were some items in the room that I had trouble getting to work properly like the ceiling fan and there were some drawers without knobs. But over all I was more than pleased with everything. I would choose to stay at The Charles again without hesitation."

Archer Hotel Napa

8/10 Good

"My partner and I booked the Archer Hotel Napa about three hours before arriving for a spontaneous overnight trip. We were happy to find something available downtown, and overall, the hotel is beautiful, well maintained, and in a great location. The staff was also friendly and helpful. We chose the Archer partly because of the rooftop fire pits and what appeared to be a pool. Unfortunately, when we went upstairs, a private event had completely blocked access to the fire pit area, so we weren’t able to enjoy it. The “pool” was also a surprise, it’s really more of a very shallow water feature where you can dip your feet. It’s probably great for lounging and tanning, but don’t expect to swim. We also had an issue with our valet-parked vehicle. When we picked it up the next morning, there was a distinct smell inside that wasn’t there when we dropped it off. I spoke with the manager, Jose, who assured me he would look into it and follow up, but unfortunately, I never heard back. The hotel itself is lovely, and I would consider staying again. However, if you’re booking specifically for the rooftop amenities, I recommend calling ahead to confirm they’re available. Also, keep expectations realistic regarding the “pool” and be mindful when using valet."

Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean, needs some updating. Bed was extremely comfortable."
