Comfortable stay at a fun property
The room was very comfortable, although the heat/ac unit became quite warm and noisy when it kicked on and off. (should have turned if off completely even though it was 45 degrees at night). The room was quiet and the property was a fun place to stay.

Great hotel, loud guests.
This hotel is great and the facilities are dialed in curated to the max. Yet the clientele can be an issue. I experienced screaming children at the pool, and other issues. You will be in very close quarters with others that might not be very friendly.

Loved this property! The property was fully redone in 2019 so the rooms were clean ans comfortable. We loved the hot spring pools, spa, and playful but casual grounds. I would highly recommend this property for an upscale retro modern vibe in Napa.
