My wife and I stayed at the El Bonita for 3 nights while taking a course at the Culinary Institute in St. Helena. We picked the El Bonita primarily for the price as most accommodation in Napa was very expensive. We were pleasantly surprised by what we got. The room was modest, to be sure, and very 60's. It was... more

Great deal. Cool-looking place. A huge room, with attractive furniture, a fridge and microwave for $100 on an off season midweek night. Free wireless internet. A short drive up the road to the restaurants and shops of St. Helena. Of course, you don’t expect the smoothest sheets or fluffiest towels. I would have traded the giant whirlpool tub for a... more

My 2 teens & I love to visit the Wine Country - especially St. Helena. We always try to stay @ El Bonita. Clean, reasonable in price, & close to just about everything. The pool is heated - something my teens really enjoy. (Mom hangs out in the jacuzzi!) Yes, it is a bit "no frills," but what you really... more

July 16, 08 Just returned from 2 days and 1 night in the Wine Country. The El Bonita Hotel provides very good value for the cost, is clean, and the service was excellent. It's right next to the main road into St Helena. The poolside rooms are pr obably incredibly noisy. We lounged around the pool to the roar. The... more

This hotel was the best value found in the Napa Valley area in between the overpriced hotels and B&Bs in Yountville and St. Helena. We only stayed for one night, so the time for us to get to know the grounds and service was not an opportunity. Good value for the money but this is a no frills hotel as... more

I first spied El Bonita in 1981, and have wanted to stay there ever since. It's clearly a throwback to the Mom 'n Pop spots of my youth, although none of those ever had microwaves, fridges or ironing boards. One local described it to us as cleaner than many of the B & Bs in the area, and it certainly... more

The website for this motel does not do it justice. I wasn't expecting grand accomodations as a budget traveler, but I should have believed the rave reviews on TA and the promise of a hotel close to the towns of St. Helena and Yountville! They were right... This is no roadside motel. The courtyards are beautifully charming with water fountains... more

Spotlessly clean, great staff, outstanding pool. My wife and I stayed for a week with three toddlers and a 15 year old- and had a very positive experience. We will stay here again. more

We recently stayed at the El Bonita Motel. The motel exceeded our expectations. It was clean and comfortable. We stayed in a king-bed room on the first floor that was part of the newer units behind the older units. Most of all, it was quiet which was a nice surprise given the fact that it is right on the main... more
