Not a bad hotel. Decent Room, but not a great location in Napa. Still, not far from wine country and a good price. Hot bfast good, but if you're looking for lots of service, this is not the place. Overall a good hotel.

Lunch - 12:30 reservation

We ate here for lunch instead of dinner b/c of the price. It was a beautiful day and we ate on the outside patio. It was well worth every penny. The view was amazing! A great memory!

This was a great trip overall. Very laid back even though we had a plan for each day, it was easy to just stop off at wineries here and there. I did make most of our dining reservations in advance though, just so we could check out some of the nice places.
