The Charles Napa, an Artfully Designed Inclusive Inn

10/10 Excellent

"everything was great"

Hotel Indigo Napa Valley by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing special"

Archer Hotel Napa

10/10 Excellent

"Easy trip. Accommodating staff. Perfect location"

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was always fresh and delicious. The staff was very courteous and helpful. A special thank you to Oscar at the lobby bar. He was always friendly and helpful and quick to fix a great drink. He worked hard to take care of everyone efficiently!!"

Napa River Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at Napa River Inn. Beautiful and well maintained property with an excellent location walkable to shopping, restaurants and a cute bar called Fink. Our room was perfect as a romantic environment with a fireplace and well appointed bathroom. As well as obviously close proximity to all that wonderful wine!"

Elm House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed at this Inn on many occasions and we have never been disappointed. Staff is fantastic, the rooms are always clean, breakfast is an added plus and the grounds are well taken care of cozy seating just to relax."

Casa Mani Resort Napa Valley, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Casa Mani. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, and comfortable, and despite being next to the freeway, road noise was barely noticeable. A few things kept it from being a 5-star stay. On our last night, the guests above us were extremely heavy-footed late at night and again early in the morning. Some guests were also very loud outside around the individual fire pits, even after quiet hours. The biggest annoyance was a private sound spa event that made the pool unavailable to hotel guests until 8 PM, yet continued past 9. It felt inconsiderate to restrict an advertised amenity for paying guests. Ironically, it became a funny, memorable night because we ended up bonding with other guests over the situation. The TVs also didn't allow phone casting or easy access to streaming apps like Netflix, which felt outdated. Our first valet interaction was surprisingly unprofessional, but every valet experience afterward was excellent. Despite these issues, we genuinely enjoyed the property and would consider staying again. Better noise management, reliable access to amenities, and updated in-room entertainment would easily elevate the experience."

DoubleTree by Hilton Sonoma - Wine Country

8/10 Good

"There seems to a plumbing issue going on with the property. Granted that it's 3 stories but the drainage does not seem to work very well when the shower is running and toilet is very slow flushing. The water pipes rattled a bit as well when turned on. AC unit was ok, not great. The bed was comfortable and the room itself was very quiet."
