Great stay
It is an older property that has character but is in good condition. Great central location. No restaurant although Celadon is next door and lots more in walking distance.

A good choice, good value
We have stayed at this property before (which is an endorsement in itself) and are never disappointed. The staff is always pleasant and responsive, going above and beyond to provide service. The hotel is clean, comfortable, well designed, and quiet, despite its central location.

Highly Recommended for Downtown Napa
The service and hotel exceeded our expectations and we would definitely stay again. The bed was comfortable and we had a standard king room in the plaza area. The complimentary breakfast was great and we appreciated the option of ordering what we wanted to Sweetie Cakes for breakfast or getting pastries delivered to the room. The location is perfect for walking along the River walk and surrounding restaurants and attractions.
