Beware of lots of hidden charges! Was charged $100 for an early check-in before 4pm Was charged $50 for an “upgrade” which was actually a room right above the tennis courts with nonstop noise of tennis balls Was charged a $55 “daily resort fee” Also, the room was infested with ants and the staff didn’t seem concerned about this and instead weirdly interrogated us upon reporting it

Loved our stay here! The hotel was cute, beautiful, and surrounded by the vines, which made the whole experience feel very relaxing. Our room was clean, spacious, and beautiful. The location was great — just a quick drive to different wineries and not far from downtown Napa, restaurants, and other places to eat. There’s also a restaurant nearby, which was really convenient. The staff were very nice and welcoming. I also loved that they have a little market/library area with food and beverages available. The pool and jacuzzi looked really nice, although we didn’t get a chance to use them. The gym was okay and had what we needed. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. It’s a cute, peaceful hotel in the vines and a great location if you’re visiting Napa and planning to explore the wineries. I would definitely stay here again! 🍇🍷✨
