The advantage of the Best Western is that it seems to be one of the few area hotels where a visitor can have a nice hotel room, a good bed and a pleasant visit, yet still have money left over for the other often very expensive pursuits offered in area.

We consider Napa to be a playground for foodies and wine buffs. Even those who don't fully embrace 'Napa Style' can leave sated with the beauty and charm of the area. There are a plethora of upscale hotels, inns and resorts with price tags to match. The Ivy has newly updated rooms which were done in good taste and a style that most will appreciate. The execution of the update was much better than many re-done hotels we have visited. Quality materials were used and the installation was done well (we could enjoy our stay without wondering what the heck the hotel owners were thinking).

The rooms are nicely sized and though we were near the main highway, we heard little road noise from our room. There is a nice pool and spa area, though the dimly lit exercise room looked like a cave and I chose to avoid it. On the other hand there is good walking paths from the hotel. We saw many people taking advantage of this access.

The breakfast was acceptable and the coffee quite drinkable. They could use a bit of an upgrade in the food offerings, though. Better quality pastries, utensils and eggs that haven't been cooking for hours would have been nice.

For the few rooms with a balcony, Best Western should add some nice patio furniture. They could easily charge $10 or $20 per night more for rooms with that little luxury.

The location is convenient especially if you are going to spend much time going north. Rooms are very good for the cost.

Main issues were road noise (moving to the second floor helped, but request a room on the parking lot side) and that the lobby and halls smelled like a giant bag of used diapers. I can't figure out another way to explain it. For some reason the smell was greatest when the cleaning teams were out and about. It persisted for our three day stay. Thankfully it didn't permeate the room.

Staff was nice and accommodating. Breakfast is a solid spread. Good base camp kind of hotel for exploring Napa, St.Helena and Calistoga.

The room was a 1 bedroom suite very comfortable, fairly well-appointed and clean.This hotel was conveniently located just north of downtown Napa, we were treated very well by the staff and would recommend this Hotel.

This hotel was conveniently located in Napa to all restaurants and wineries .The staff was friendly and professional and also very helpful with all requests. We loved the decor in rooms and bathrooms had ample space.Great breakfast selections and outdoor seating a bonus!
I would highly recommend this hotel !!!
