We stayed for only 1 of the 2 scheduled nights at this quazi eco friendly hotel. What you have read from other reviewers is correct: lousy neighborhood, poor room insulation, noisy A/C, feeble pressure on the shower heads, and mediocre service. Move on to any of the quaint Inn's in the downtown area's and you will be much happier!
Gaia was a big disappointment.... the staff was less than accommodating (we called the front desk for a cork screw- we are in wine country after all!) and they told us to come down and get it from the front desk... after walking down there they told us we couldn't borrow it, but rather i could walk back to the room get the wine and bring it ...
We loved this place for many reasons. It is tucked away in American Canyon, just south of Napa Valley, just north of Vallejo. About 1/4 mile north on 29 there is a Super Walmart comlex with plenty of shopping amenities. Napa Valley and the wine train are only 10-12 minutes from the hotel. We booked a day in the spa, and it was wonderful. The ...
The room was very spacious,lovely and clean. They gave us 2 kinds of coffee and 2 kinds of tea with our In-room coffee-maker. The shower had a generous spray which was very relaxing. They had a pool but it was unheated.Their lake and waterfall is pretty. Beware though the Breakfast at the on-site restaurant is NOT free as is stated on the website. ...
The Gaia is new and very nice. My room was larger than I expected and very comfortable. I didn't have any service issues. In December (2007), there was a special rate of $59 per nite so that was a good deal. The only thing I didn't like was the continental breakfast that they advertised. It was very sparse and the food was terrible!
The rooms are new and beautiful. The outside of the building is very strange looking, but I really liked being in my room. The price is unbelievable for Napa.
Our rooms were not cleaned, sound proofing in the rooms is awful, staff was unhelpful, breakfast bar was sparce, location was not conducive to a trip to Napa. There are no restaurants in the area, the neighborhood is not a good one, and there is a "casino" next door that hardly qualifies.
We liked the idea of an "eco-friendly" hotel and the Gaia hotel's website looked extremely inviting. But don't let that fool you! This hotel is over-rated.
The neighborhood is poor...next to a facility advertising 24 hour slots... and is not convenient to Wine Country restaurants, especially when you're making the drive ...
I have nothing good to say about this hotel. Terrible breakfast. My room was only cleaned once during my stay, and this after several complaints. Even with this I received a voicemail stating that it was MY fault for having the privacy placard on the door (not true, but anyway...)
The only good thing is the attempt at environmental ...
