The room was clean, beds were comfortable, black out curtains. All the basic amenities were available. We were in a family suite the main room had 2 queen beds, the second room had the King bed. Both rooms had access to the back lawn area with chairs to relax on. Breakfast was your standard Continental breakfast, the pastries were really good. Because they were completely booked (summer weekend) there was only one parking spot available, so we needed to find street parking for our second vehicle. We did that just fine. Location is fantastic, close to wineries and restaurants.

The maid was mad that we were still in our room and spoke up to us. We tried to get a late check out but the phone in the room wasn’t working. I brought my puppy bc my mom was in the ICU and this housekeeper made my trip very stressful. When I talked to the staff in the office he said he would have granted me a late check out. She said new guests were coming and I need to get out. Ok lady take a chill pill.

This is a great boutique style hotel, rates were great for being in Napa Valley. The four of us booked the downstairs room which had two bedrooms and 3 big comfortable beds. It was perfect for us. The pool and hot tub were a nice amenity, and the complimentary breakfast each morning was nice to wake up to. The people running this hotel were super friendly and helpful, we would definitely book this place again!

Nice motel with clean, well equipped rooms. Great swimming pool and hot tub for guest use also. In a good location for exploring the Napa valley - walking distance from restaurants and on a bus route to downtown Napa and the main wineries. Continental breakfast included in the rate - but get there early as it runs out!

Room was large & clean, with table & chairs & a coffee/food prep area. There was space for setting two open suitcases, a good-sized bathroom & a balcony with two chairs. Hot tub & pool were nice, and breakfast was good. Some prior comments said there wasn't much for breakfast but there were a lot of choices when we stayed, a welcome surprise. Only thing missing was a plug for the tub when I wanted to take a bath. Location good, the building at back has less road noise.

Clean and pretty large room, and the price is expensive but very reasonable for summer season in St. Helena, where most places are in the $600-800 range, and this one almost half. Liked that it wasn’t “corporate”. The grounds are kept pretty nice. Also liked that it was pet friendly… easy a nice places to walk your pup around the hotel too. Peaceful spot overall and literally next to some of the world’s best restaurants and vineyards.

Extremely comfortable room with a small seating area including a coffee station, fridge and microwave for small meals and snacks. The tasteful decor was mid century modern with quality bedding and towels and a great bathroom. A continental breakfast was included with fresh fruits, croissants, cereals and yogurt. There is a wonderful pool and hot tub for relaxing. The location is perfect, right on 29 and near restaurants, shopping and of course the wineries. El Bonita is an unexpected jewel and a great value.

This is our first time at the El Bonita. I would probably stay again. The location is central to all of the places we wanted to visit. The property and rooms were clean, which is the first priority. I was disappointed with the breakfast offerings, as there were hardly any breakfast offerings. We went down twice and left with only a banana, the only banana. I wasn't expecting a full breakfast, but even some hard-boiled eggs in the fridge would have been great. My other issue was that the patio door didn't have a working lock. The screen on our friend's patio door was broken and off the tracks.
None of these were deal breakers, but there are many options in Napa.

We always stay here when we visit. This is a central location to all the wineries. The first night, we were given the wrong room and had to move the next day. Mitchell took care of us and immediately comped us for that night. The room was clean. My only complaint is wish more towels were provided.

After a long day, it is fun to sit by the fire and meet other people and share the winery experiences.

This is a refurbished motel. The rooms are updated with nicer fixtures in the bathroom and color schemes, but very small. Pedestal sink in the bathroom, no counter. Only room in the bathroom for 1 person at a time and you could probably stand in 1 place and touch all 4 walls.

Bed was ok, not great. Only a full size for 2 people is tight. 2 thin pillows were not enough.

There is a pool and sauna. We did not use them but they looked ok. There are a couple of places outside to sit around fire pits.

We skipped breakfast as it was quite sparse. Vending machine was full, but non-working.

Very busy road out front with lots of traffic coming in/out of Napa. Even though it wasn’t a great hotel, it was still the best value for the money. Probably wouldn’t stay again if there was a comparably priced option.

Rooms are clean and modern, they have a lovely retro vibe. The whole property is well looked after and spectacularly located for wine tasting and visiting local areas. Breakfast is simple, but fresh.

The sauna, pool, and hot tub were amazing. We loved the added amenities. Breakfast was simple, cereal, fruit, yogurt, and pastries. The room was clean and convenient, however it would be nice to have a safe, hair dryer, and iron in your room.

Great place to stay. Reasonable rates, clean tidy rooms, nice pool,sauna and hot tub. My feeling is I would rather spend my money seeing and experiencing the area I'm visiting. Basically I'm using a hotel to sleep shower and change. I don't need to spend $700 a night for amenities I'm not going to use. I came to Napa to see Napa, not a hotel! The El Bonita fit my bill perfectly!! Highly recommended!

We stayed in a room with multiple beds, which worked out great for us. We especially loved the balcony—it was a nice bonus. The sound insulation between rooms was impressive too; we didn’t hear the neighboring occupants at all. The hot tub was at the perfect temperature, and my little kids really enjoyed it at night.

The only downside was the breakfast selection. They offered cereal, oatmeal packets, fruit, some pastries, and yogurt. We came down around 9:30am, and there were barely any pastries left, even though breakfast is served until 10:30.

No frills place but things are clean and well maintained. Our room had a mini fridge, microwave and sink, which was nice. Couldn't get the cast option to work on the TV. Breakfast was also very minimal, no eggs or hot food besides oatmeal.
