    Love the Gardens!!
    Becky F.

    I'm so happy we found this Motel! When we arrived late on a Tuesday Night I was worried it the neighborhood was a little sketchy, but felt good about the quaint atmosphere of the Lodge, and Check in went quick, easy and friendly. Then I saw our basic little Room still wasn't too sure about it. But each morning we woke up in a comfortable bed with beautifully maintained gardens outside our window. We would walk to the Breakfast area in our comfy clothes for coffee and a complimentary little breakfast to get our day started. My Man wished there was a coffee maker in the room, but I enjoyed the stroll, the Napa Valley weather, and smelling the flowers. I will say, they need a FASTER coffee maker, sometimes a line would form! By the time we left on Friday I was smitten with the neighborhood, it was beautiful and close to everything we needed. I would definitely stay there again, and you can't find a better deal in the area.

    Bathroom amenities, not bad at all

    ********************* 1499 ********************** Found it on Kayak for $100 a night, when their website was $175, now that's a steal. We just need a quick night to stay while attending a work event, when other hotels nearby was $300. Wine Valley Lodge is located in a residential neighborhood, just 1 story and all rooms facing to the center pool. PROS: - The room was spacious - with a new TV - Fridge - Microwave is a bonus. - 2 FREE bottled water - Nice bathroom amenity - Nice and new mirrors in the bathroom/bedroom - Bathroom was recently remodeled (room # 44) - Hot water working fine in my room - Fairly quiet at night - Easy check in and check out - FREE basis breakfast/coffee if you get up before 10 AM - 5 minutes drive to downtown Napa - FREE WiFI CONS: - Old carpet - Old bath towels - Could use thicker and newer blankets - The bed wasn't that comfy (but what do you expect for this price) - That flower vase on the work desk got to go, it was just there to collecting dust - Slow WiFi Built in 1953 and originally named Casa Lual after the first owner's daughter Lucille and husband Allen, the Lodge played a role in Hollywood movie making. In 1959, Hollywood arrived in Napa to begin filming "This Earth is Mine" starring Rock Hudson, Jean Simmons, Cindy Robins and Claude Rains. Many people in Napa were excited and some people even got parts as extras in the movie. Two years later, Elvis Presley arrived in Napa to film the 1961 movie "Wild in the Country" with Tuesday Weld and Hope Lange. This was a very exciting time for teenage girls in Napa, as they waited in long lines at the fairgrounds to see Elvis and get his autograph. All of the stars stayed at the Wine Valley Lodge. And even Marilyn Monroe once was stayed here. I know it's hard to believe! This is exactly what you get for a 3 stars motel/lodge, and a little more for your value, see my photos. I will stay here again if the price is right.

    A solid 4 and a half, very impressed and still can't get over the fact even three weeks after the fact that we scored a room here (albeit significantly in advance and via Expedia) for about 80ish bucks a night during a recent visit for a wedding, when seemingly all of the other guests were paying upwards of 400 a night for comparably humble digs! Add to that the location was mere minutes (2-4 by car 15-20 by hoof) from thriving downtown Napa. Now tack on the facts that said room was clean, renovated and relatively nicely and modernly furnished, while the exterior completely retains its gloriously mid century Americana roadside motel un-renovated greatness. Also while the location is relatively hard by the highway it nevertheless still affords views of lovely Napa Valley mountainous vistas and gorgeous skies from seemingly every angle of the parking lot. Finally, the staff was uniformly sweet as pie and let us know that Elvis Presley Marlyn Monroe and other icons have stayed here during the course of its storied history. So, yeah this place is pretty awesome all around, even aside from the insanely low price, particularly comparatively that one can attain here.

    Found this hotel on kayak 2 nights 3 days was around $320 with taxes and fees. Honestly it's a great place to stay if you're looking for an affordable place to stay that's near everything. What I like... 1. Super clean. That's the main thing I look for when I book any hotel room. Bathroom is really spacious and clean as well which is a huge plus in my book! 2. Room is definitely very spacious and comes with a mini fridge that actually feels cold (some places that I've stayed at the mini fridges are semi cold/warm?) and a microwave which is nice to have but too bad we didn't have anything to heat up haha 3. Staff here are friendly 4. Great parking 5. Breakfast is ok...(includes bananas, apples, oranges, coffee, milk, juice, cereal, and a few packaged pastries) but I mean that's what was expected, still nice that it's offered. Also 2 bottles of complimentary water are in the mini fridge when you arrive. Overall its great and I would definitely come back and stay here again!

    I'm not sure what some of the other reviewers are used to, but I think this is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in. I refused to walk barefoot on the carpet, the pillowcases were grey and the walls were so thin that the man snoring the the room next door might as well have been in bed with us. There was a piece of mop in the moldy shower, so I'm hoping that this was a sign it was cleaned. To add to the excitement, the coffee machine in the breakfast room only served hot chocolate, from every button. Free wi-fi was the only plus.

There's also Boon Fly Café as another option. The pool area is spacious with plenty of seating and lounge chairs. The adjacent hot tub sits right at the edge of a view of the hills and vineyard.

HINT- Check their website under Extras- I had missed it before and you will see some great add ons for a price of course. They normally require a 48hr notice but they happily made it happen. BIG THANKS! My husband loved it and I was ecstatic that it was waiting for us- since I knew we were going to be hungry after our flight. The location is easy to find, the neighborhood is absolutely charming and clean. Please walk around and see those beautiful architectural homes!!! They phoned us before our flight to ask an ETA for a possible early check in. I mean WOW what a great detail! We did get in early and our beautiful room was ready! We stayed in Loft 14, it's 2 stories- bedroom and half bath upstairs. The most comfortable BED ever and the sheets for extremely soft and buttery. The big full bath downstairs is very modern and had no door to the big shower- I get cold easy, so the heater vent above the vanity/sink was a heavenly surprise! A beautiful living room with an electric fireplace and a little outdoor patio- private just for your room. Well stocked mini fridge with beer, water, sparkling flavored water, and a nice bottle of wine! Yummy chips, goodies and locally sourced gourmet chocolate. Rosa helped us when we arrived and she showed us around the property. She was a Gem the entire time. Very friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. Thanks Rosa! Beautiful gardens, loved the communal kitchen open 24hrs. Plenty of indoor/outdoor lounge spaces, both open for larger groups or smaller for more privacy. They offer a continental breakfast on weekends and it's not your average "Continental" selections. We had a delicious FRESH Quiche with a delectable crust and perfect cooked eggs/ham & cheese, fresh fruit, yogurts, butter croissants and to die for Cruffin (croissant/muffin pastry) covered in sugar and cinnamon. The coffee machine can get you your coffee of choice in minutes, mine was a frothy latte and my husband opted for a cortado. Again available 24hrs which is a plus in my books. Close to everything to walk around and explore, we loved going across the way to walk around the Napa river bridge/pier. And to Oxbow market- A must in my opinion. So overall please Stay here, go explore, enjoy the beautiful property, sit in the garden, have your coffee and just connect with yourself or whoever you're there with. 100 Stars for R Inn Napa!

It didn't stop there, while I was on the phone with Marissa, the hotel room phone rang.

    My family and I stayed at this hotel twice within a two-week span to attend concerts…read more Unfortunately, both stays were lackluster, and we will never make the mistake of staying here again! I want to start by saying that most of my interactions with their staff were extremely pleasant. They seemed to be doing their best with the resources they have. That said, they need more support! During our first stay on August 22, 2026, we encountered several minor issues that didn't warrant an initial conversation with management. These included long check-in lines at the front desk, unusually long waits for the valet to retrieve our car, lack of staff support at the family pool, and repeated requests from the front desk for the same items needed in our room. Since this was our first time staying here and there was a large concert, we assumed they were overwhelmed. My wife completed a survey after our first stay, which prompted an email conversation with the Managing Director, Paul Maddison. He referred us to their People & Culture Coordinator, Natalie de Anda, who promptly called and tried to make up for the experience. She mentioned an upgrade for our next stay and assured me our experience would be better. We returned two weeks later, on September 6, 2026, for a second concert. Unfortunately, the second experience was worse. After arriving in town early to avoid the long check-in line, we still found our rooms weren't ready by the 4 pm check-in. Multiple guests were having the same experience. Because of the late check-in, my kids couldn't do the activities we had promised them, and we had issues with our off-site dinner reservations. We avoided using the valet service after our first experience, only to find their electric vehicle charging stations, four in total, located right in front of their valet station, occupied by non-EV cars. I later realized the room we stayed in was the exact room we initially booked, so there was no accommodation for the issues we experienced during our first stay. After our second stay at the resort, I reached out to both Mr. Maddison and Ms. de Anda again, but I received no response. The resort is a beautiful location with great potential, but without adequate staff to handle guest volume and with a lack of follow-through from management, I will never stay here again. If you are coming for a concert, I strongly suggest you stay off-site.
