    Mold in tub stopper

    We stayed in the Jr Suite, Room 5. This is not a luxury inn; it is a poorly maintained historic inn, with a good location. The mattress was hard as a rock and you could hear the metal springs with every move. The sheets were scratchy and rough, and the comforter was dirty. The stopper for the tub had mold in it and everything was generally stained, worn out and terribly maintained. The toiletries were a variety of brands and felt like leftovers from someone's travels. It looks like others had better experiences, but we will definitely not be returning or recommending this place to anyone. There is nothing "luxury" about this inn.

    What can I not say about 1801. This place took me back to a time that felt so real. A time to when you wake up as a kid and smell granny or mom cooking bacon and biscuits . You wash your face and brush your teeth. Slip on your slippers and head downstairs to where those of whom you love all say good morning. Everyone has a cup of coffee . We're called to the table, and pops begin to say grace. Amen! Now dig in. Yes, that was my experience that 1801 provided me. Everyone provided excellent customer service. The owners Carrie and Blair are so gracious, professional, and attentive. Lara and Laurie are so sweet. They really set out to make you feel comfortable. The service staff are quick and detailed. The property is charming. The accommodations are pleasantly comfortable and clean. We really appreciated this 1903 Victorian B&B. Walking distance to downtown, restaurants, blue note jazz club, and bars. Cheers

    My husband and I recently stayed at the 1801 first inn this past September (9/3-9/7) and it was absolutely fabulous! The accommodations were great and so comfortable. The owners were lovely, so passionate and made us feel at home. It's such an amazing inn with so many unique offerings and amenities that you don't get staying at your average hotel. From the wine happy hour to the daily breakfast cooked by the in house chef, it all felt so special. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone visiting Napa! We will certainly be returning!

    Fabulous little b&b in Napa. I stayed in the Garden Room which faces the patio. It was raining and added a touch of atmospheric solitude to the place. Their in-house chef made great breakfasts too. The raisin scone is so good I asked for two.

    Handmade truffles

    This was my first visit to Napa and this B&B did not disappoint. The home, which was built in 1903, is beautiful with lots of special architectural details. We stayed in an upstairs suite with a lovely fireplace and large soaking tub. Three handmade truffles were waiting for us upon our arrival, which were delicious! Coffee, tea and fresh baked cookies are available in the dining room throughout the day. The breakfast was very tasty and there were three options to choose from each morning. The owners were extremely kind and very personable. The king size bed was extremely comfortable. The location is in walking distance to Downtown Napa and many wonderful restaurants. I would definitely recommend this B&B!

    Thank you Laurie, Carrie and Blair for our amazing stay, yesterday (12/18/21) at the Carriage House. This was our first ever bed and breakfast but even more special since I just proposed to my now fiancé the same day we stayed. I highly recommend this place. The cottage was amazing with everything we wanted delivered. Rose bouquet was beautiful , chocolate strawberry was delicious, fudge / chocolate was delightful and breakfast is top notch. Will be coming back real soon as we love this place. Thank you guys.

    FRAUD ALERT…read more Boyfriend & I came here on January 31st. We got massages which we paid the gratuity for that very day since we were charged right away. As of yesterday 2/27 I've been charged $86 by "The Inn on First" which I noticed immediately as either a mistake or fraud. I called them & front desk receptionist seemed very confused & even apologetic because of the fact I was there one month ago & not yesterday! I told her I would like to be refunded & she of course had to get the owner involved, understandably. The owner, Celia, calls me & already had a defensive rude tone to her voice which was confusing because of the situation. She claims that I had not been charged for the gratuity from the massages & that they had just now caught it & were charging me now. I told her that I know for a fact we had already paid for the gratuity based on the amount charged to my card which was the total cost of the massages including the gratuity. She argued stating my numbers were not accurate & that they again will be keeping my $86. I told her this is fraud & she knows it. & I will be putting a review on Yelp regarding this. She then changed up & said if I have an issue with the gratuity charge that I'll have to take it up with the massage employees as if they were a separate entity- which they may be but again, my credit card statement shows that it's "The Inn On First" that is charging me this $86 I responded to Celia by reminding her that this is HER BUSINESS & that she should be the one to resolve this! She responded by basically stating it's not her problem. Absolute fraud! We were intending on coming back and to this place soon but they lost our business & I'll be disputing this charge with my credit card company. CELIA YOU NEED BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE SKILLS. Interestingly enough this apparently happens to people every so often here which leads me to believe we were targeted by her!

We got champagne at check in along with fantastic cookies. The room was well appointed with a fireplace and private hot tub in room. The shower too was spacious, clean, and powerful. Overall the place checked all the boxes and then some. The breakfast was over and above our expectations. Fresh fruit and a delicious homemade muffin to start. Cold juices and hot coffee. Yogurt and granola. All before the menu comes out with a custom made hot breakfast. My wife got avocado toast and I got an omelette. Both came with house made potatoes and mine had an option for a variety of toasts to choose from. All delicious and a great way to start the day. Really grateful to have found this place and already thinking about when we could go back. Also, perhaps most important, it's walkable to just about everything downtown, including the oxbow market and all the restaurants and shops in between, of which there are many.

We especially loved the jetted tub, it was so relaxing and exactly what we needed. The scenery around the property was beautiful and peaceful, creating the perfect atmosphere for a birthday getaway. The thoughtful touches meant so much to us, the wine bottle and the birthday wishes were such a nice surprise.

My only complaint is the dust behind the bed, on the back bed curtain & on the bottom bed lays under the top mattress. Additionally the mattress needs to be replaced asap. It's not good for people with even slightly bad backs. I have a back issue & my husband has an even worse back. He ended up sleeping on the small couch instead. But, I still find this room and hotel to be worth it regardless of that. It's precious. & hopefully they just dust & replace the bed soon :)

There is no front desk and no one to greet you when you arrive. This was not an issue for me, but some people may not prefer it. Pros: Very responsive and accommodating hosts Rooms are beautiful and charming. Nicely updated Breakfast is included Close enough to downtown that you can walk, but not in the middle of all the noise Cons: Pool was not heated although it was said to be Spa jets did not work There were ants in my room. Small and not many, but still Here was the absolute worst part of my stay: The bathroom/shower experience was not great. There was hair all over the bathroom and shower when I arrived. I ended my night with a shower and after waiting about 10 minutes the water never got hot. It fluctuated from cold to lukewarm at best. The water pressure is also absolutely horrible. It kept going from a light stream to drips at times. I had to keep turning the water on and off to increase pressure. Additionally, the shower head would not stay upright. I tried everything and it kept going lower and lower. I would actually avoid the shower altogether if you can help it. It took AGES to wash my hair. You're better off with the sink since it has much better pressure. I would have been a little less upset about the shower and issues I experienced with everything else if there was someone on site to ask for help or assist me. To be fair, I didn't reach out with my issues so it is possible that they would have been very responsive and fixed the shower issue quickly. I would stay here again for the aesthetic and proximity, but everything else kind of put me off.

There is a huge table and extra chairs should you want to have guests (there is room galore for guests, and we are a party of four with a dog!). Umbrellas. Picnic backpacks. Excellent Wi-Fi. (Pro tip - we brought our Fire stick but Netflix is available without it.) The single imperfection is that the lacquer on the dining table was slightly tacky/sticky and made it hard to play Catan and Monopoly. Easy fix - in the laundry room cupboard, there are tablecloths so just slap that down and game on!!! Cannot wait to return in the warmer months with a ton of friends and family to take the place over for tastings, relaxation, touring, and barbecues in the huge yard! We LOVE IT HERE!

It was more than a dream, such a wonderful little B&B. The modern look and design felt as if we were standing right in a pottery barn catalog. We stayed in the Laurel cottage, which I highly HIGHLY recommend! It's still attached to another cottage but was extremely secluded as the property was a little further out away from the main house and main patio area. We even had our own little garden to the side with a table & chairs! The cottage itself was absolutely wonderful. Extremely spacious with a cal king bed, which by the way, was too die for. The sheets were amazingly comfortable and made it tremendously hard to get out of bed in the mornings, but a dream to come back to after a long day of shenanigans. The bathroom floor, get this, has heated floors! The bathtub was incredibly spacious, big enough to fit two people. The fireplace was also a great addition and made our stay wonderfully cozy. Breakfast is served at 8:30 and 9:15! You have to tell them which time you prefer. All food is gluten free and they are very accommodating, always asking if you have any food allergies, etc. The breakfast was delicious and they always have these wonderful treats at the tea/coffee station in the main house. The staff were incredibly nice and welcoming! I highly recommend this place for any couple looking for a sweet romantic getaway. The location is great as it's only about half a mile from downtown, close to a bunch of food eats & wine bars! Make sure to book early as there are only limited rooms/cottages.

We did venture to the main space and it was empty with some tables - it could use a bit more warmth, maybe with some snacks or little touches to make it feel more like home. Breakfast was delivered to our room and it was healthy and delicious. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay! Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a peaceful getaway.
