    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

I recommend the reader staying elsewhere if you have any valuable items. My story below. We stayed at the Archer Hotel Napa mid December 2025. When departing the property, I left my Stetson cowboy hat in the room ($1K+). Realizing this the next day, I contacted the Archer Hotel who informed me that nothing was reported yet (with a promise for a follow up notice). After 3 weeks of silence, I reached out again and was told that staff had not found the hat in the room. I must point out that the hat was packed in a special-purpose large box; given the size, special packing, value, and nature of the item, it is inconceivable that it would have been discarded as trash. Evidently, it was stolen. I then escalated this issue to management who mostly ignored my requests (I can share various emails for those who care). I did learn that there is security footage but access or review of it was denied (and one would wonder why that was not done in December following my first call?). This makes it evident that management (GM Michael Pace and Director of Operations Patricia Wilson) prefer to turn a blind eye and as such indirectly approves of staff holding on to left-behind items of value. Again: this is theft. I am now left with filing a report with the Napa Police Department.

Unfortunately, this stay suggested otherwise. The most concerning issue occurred at 2:00 a.m., when the smoke alarm began chirping because of a low battery. After we called the front desk, a security guard arrived with a ladder but, instead of replacing the battery, removed the smoke alarm entirely, leaving our cottage without a functioning smoke alarm overnight. He also mentioned this happens often, which made the situation even more concerning. The next morning, despite having the Do Not Disturb light on and a 2:00 p.m. late checkout, housekeeping knocked on our door around 11:30 a.m. to clean the room. The room also showed the same maintenance and housekeeping issues we encountered on our previous visit: a broken lampshade, stained carpeting and furniture, and a folded "clean" towel with a crusted brown stain. Combined with the damaged bedding, stained furnishings, and patio umbrella from our first stay, our impression is that these are recurring issues rather than isolated oversights. That's especially disappointing because the public-facing aspects of the resort, including The Market and Farm, are excellent. Unfortunately, the accommodations did not reflect the standard we expect from a luxury resort. We won't be returning, especially with so many better-maintained options nearby.

Parking is uncovered but right out front, which was convenient. The lobby felt small and a bit awkward, likely due to the remodel. One thing I really missed was the 24/7 tea and coffee--they had it out on the patio for a while, but it disappeared, and I definitely noticed. Now for the good: the room was gorgeous! The tub was a dream and the bed was so comfortable, I slept better than I had in a while. I didn't check out the gym (if there even was one), but the hotel is right off the freeway and super close to everything you'd want to do in Napa. The staff was warm and friendly, which made a big difference. Overall, I did enjoy my stay. I just think I'll wait until construction is finished before coming back, so I can experience the property the way it's meant to be enjoyed. Tip- make sure to ask for Military discount.

A staff member came over and warned people around us and also us that any phones would be confiscated if they were out, even though we weren't using ours. A few minutes later, security told us to leave the area altogether. The security staff who escorted us were polite, but the initial interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational and left a negative impression. For the price of this resort, I expected guests to be treated with more courtesy. The experience made us feel unwelcome and put a damper on an otherwise nice stay.

The line was very long and we waited around 20 to 30 minutes just to make it to the front desk. As the second experience you have on the property (the first is the valet), this felt like a bad start to the stay. But once we made it to the desk, the attendant was friendly, accommodating, and gave a great overview of the amenities and benefits associated with our particular stay. Decor: The overall decor/theme at Meritage is modern vineyard farmhouse - think neutral tones, large windows, and exposed wood beams. It's beautiful, current, and feels elevated. Service: As noted above, check in was solid. And when we asked for a late check out in line with the credit card benefits we have, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a late check out that extended well into the afternoon, which allowed for us to enjoy the property even longer. We had to ask for our room to be cleaned which was a little disappointing. We weren't advised at check in that we needed to ask and for an upscale property that charges a premium for rooms, this was a service that we expected to be included without request. Room: The room was great. Spacious -- has an art deco vibe. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom shower is a good enough size with good water pressure. The vanity on the bathroom is modern with an electric mirror that allows you to tailor the lighting. There's also a coffee station, a desk, drawer for clothes, and when we arrived there were two complementary bottles of water and a bottle of red wine. Amenities: As to the pool, I appreciate that there are two -- a family friendly pool and an over 21 pool. For that, you can forgive the size of the pool, which isn't terribly large. There also a hot tub as well, which was nice for the weather during our stay. I will say that they were fairly lax about enforcing the age restrictions at the pool as on our last day a large group with several children invaded the area. There are several restaurants and lounges and even a little bowling alley, which is such a cool addition to the property. Overall, we had a pleasant stay at the Meritage. Though for the cost, I expected a little more at that price level. I'd stay again if offered at a lower price point.
