"The property really surprised us for a Motel. It was very clean and seemed renovated not long ago. It is located about 1/2-3/4 mile from downtown St. Helena. So walking was easy. After 25 years ..."

Room wasn’t ready till after check in time , broken items in room . No matter what time u went to breakfast there was no food. They get pastries daily but hide them in the back for workers

Super nice and great breakfast Clean, comfortable and convenient

5.0 / 10.0

Nice little place, quiet and pretty and the room was immaculate. It had everything you need in the way of coffee, tea, bathroom amenities and a fridge. The young ladies at the front desk were very efficient, but could be a little more welcoming, like try to make eye contact and saying hello when we arrive, not just “name?” Otherwise, I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Everything was really nice, the price was excellent and I would stay there again but our room was one off from the highway and it was very loud.I drew the shades put on the fans in the room and thankfully travel with a white noise machine and we could still hear trucks. If you know in advance then you are prepared for it.

Arrived and only after checking in and going to our room did we see that the water heater was broken at the hotel and the rug in our room (right next to where repairs were happening) was soaking wet. Obviously they had no way of knowing they’d need to replace the water heater but 1) they could have told us at check in and 2) the front desk person was so aggressive and hostile that it was actually shocking, and especially considering the fact that there was no water in an entire building of the property. It was super disappointing and upsetting. Our money was eventually refunded but truly without any help from the property. I’ve stayed there before but really can’t see myself staying again in light of the behavior of one particularly aggressive staff person.

The best valued thing on my entire Northern California trip. The hotel was clean, nicely renovated, and very simple but lovely. I felt right at home.

El Bonita is a wonderful treasure. Friendly staff, fabulous location, clean renovated rooms. We love to stay at this hidden gem.

It was decent for the price the front desk staff when we checked in was kind of rude. There was construction going on and they didn’t even apologize for it, but the rooms were nice and clean, and the bed was very comfortable overall it was good for the price.

We were pleasantly surprised by how well maintained our room was. The wine country themed furniture and decor was quite nice.

The property really surprised us for a Motel. It was very clean and seemed renovated not long ago. It is located about 1/2-3/4 mile from downtown St. Helena. So walking was easy. After 25 years of visiting St. Helena and surrounding areas only to drive back to the Bay same day, we will be staying at this property moving forward. Price performance was spot on. Good value.

Nice. Reasonable price

4.0 / 10.0

Great location. Super clean, comfortable, and decor was really nice. My only complaint is how noisy it was early in the morning, before 8am. The linen room was right next to my room, could hear staff talking, pushing carts. Noise also came from remodeling being done. And noise from other guests throw the walls.

Was our first time, but won't be our last.

Size of room and decorated very nice. Back large window nice to give more light in our room. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Bed a bit high and a little too firm. I would stay there again.

Charming little Gem located in the heart of the wine country. The name is fitting. I really did not expect this from a motel.

Property was clean. There was a very small refrigerator but no utensils in the room. Lighting was a plus. Room was otherwise nice.

I have stayed here for decades and they have maintained their quality. Best value in Napa, especially if you’re interested in the wineries in Yountville, Rutherford, Oakville, St Helena and Calistoga. Easy drive to these areas for dinner too. The pool and sauna are clean too and never overcrowded.

Best small motel we have stayed in in a long time, everything was great.

Great value and has nice features like the pool, hot tub, and fire pits. The location near vineyards and wineries is fun. Our room was newly renovated and cute.

This was my third time staying here. Love it - quaint, clean and quiet. The grounds are lovely, wi-fi is strong and the beds are comfy. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend staying at El Bonita!

8.0 / 10.0

The property is an older motel that is well maintained and clean. It's not luxurious or fashionable, there's no bar or restaurant obviously, but it was clean, comfortable and convenient. It's a 5 or 10 minute walk to the great restaurants and bars in St. Helena, which is its strongest feature. It's also one of the more affordable, relative to its neighbors during high season. So it attracts bargain hunters. The person above us stomped back and forth in their room nonstop for hours. There were some partiers down the hall somewhere who laughed like banshees until 3 in the morning. We brought ear plugs and survived. The desk people are great, the continental breakfast is adequate, with good coffee. The grounds are immaculate, plenty of convenient parking. I doubt we'll return, but other than a few rude guests, it's a good place and affordable - relatively.

5.0 / 10.0

Best deal for the price in the area. The only downside is that second floor rooms have no elevator access so if climbing stairs with your luggage might be a challenge, make sure to ask fir a ground floor room.

I’ve stayed at a variety of hotels in my life and this I thought would be a great romantic night on our anniversary to stay. The room was not what I thought I was getting the picture had an out door chair set. Next the pool and hot tub were not the cleanest. And then after after an okay night sleep did wake up when the wall decors that was duct taped apparently fell off we woke to ANTS! In the bathroom on the counter on the floor on our luggage. Everywhere. We didn’t have anything then normal garbage to account for an ant farm. I packed up and left! When I told the front desk they said oh yea everyone is saying that. And don’t expect a continental breakfast. There is none. If I could get my money back that be great but alas it was a right stay for what was to be a romantic night

Did not like staff entering room for a few minutes when we were out and putting on the Make Up Room sign. Did not like the very skimpy continental breakfast. Room a comfortable size, bed ok. Not worth price.
