Booked this hotel a week before July 4th weekend using our Triple A rate... averaged about $300 per night. Rooms are average-sized but well appointed. Bathroom is nice too. Our room was on the 2nd floor (there are only 2 floors), overlooking the courtyard & swimming pool, with views of the mountains in the background. Although you can see Highway 29 from the room and hear a bit of traffic, it isn't noisy or disturbing in any way. The courtyard is spacious and extremely well laid out with the pool, jacuzzi, lots of lounge chairs, patio tables too for breakfast, and a bocce ball court. The breakfast was good, with lots of pastries and fresh options -- nothing fancy but tasteful. Service was great... quietly performed but impeccable.

The other nice thing about this hotel is its location... .it's at one end of the street that runs through downtown. To get to the majority of the restaurants, it's a pleasant 10-15 minute walk, which is perfect after a delicious meal. We also rented bikes from a downtown shop and biked down Salono Road which runs parallel to the 29.

Four glorious nights in the Bella Vista suite had us so mellow, so pampered and so relaxed that we had to force ourselves to go out and visit the wineries in the area. The shower, with windows overlooking the vineyard, would hold a dozen people. The huge bed persuaded us to sleep 10 hours the night we arrived. The powerful jacuzzi, the champagne breakfast, the pool, the balcony for sipping wine while gazing at the vineyard -- perfection barely describes it all. Everyone went out of their way to make us happy, from calling two weeks ahead to see if we wanted restaurants or spa services booked (we did!), to quickly replenishing the mini-bar to immaculate housekeeping to the bottle of wine in our room in honor of my husband's birthday. I'd return in a minute.

This is a superb smallish hotel. We stayed here for four nights. The room was large, well appointed and the beds extremely comfortable. The bathroom is not only attractive but large and highly functional. Everything was well done--there were plenty of pillows, towels, etc. We were celebrating a birthday and we had asked the hotel staff to do several extra things. EVERYTHING was not only done, as we had requested in advance, but done well.

The pool area is lovely; the grounds are impeccably maintained. ALL of the hotel staff we dealt with was very helpful, gracious and warm. We highly recommend the Napa Valley Lodge and would definitely return here!

I will simply confirm all the positive comments of the other reviewers and add that you don't have to worry about having a room that faces the road. Although Route 29 must be one of the busiest roads in California, we never heard the traffic when the balcony door was closed.
