The hotel

Set along the banks of the Napa River and surrounded by lush landscapes, this enchanting hotel is perfectly located to sample the delights of the Napa and Sonoma valleys. There are over 250 local wineries and other attractions nearby, just waiting to be discovered. Use one of the complimentary cruiser bikes and head to the bike path at the back of the hotel, maybe heading into downtown Napa for a browse. At the end of the day, dinner at ALBA is sure to delight — relax by a firepit on the moonlit terrace by the river and dine on seasonal local cuisine, accompanied by fantastic Napa Valley wines, naturally.

This hotel is nestled in a serene and picturesque location within walking distance of charming downtown Napa. It is also conveniently close to the Wine Train and a short distance from renowned vineyards. We would definitely stay here again due to the hotel's pleasant ambiance, affordable pricing, and prime location for exploring Napa Valley!

The hotel is located right on the Napa river just about a 5-minute walk to Oxbow Market. We had a nice room with a river view.

The hotel is located right on the Napa river just about a 5-minute walk to Oxbow Market. We had a nice room with a river view. Unfortunately, it was difficult to sit outside on our terrace and enjoy the scenery as the hotel is constantly blasting loud music from its terrace along with from the speakers outside the front of the hotel. Other downsides were that everything the hotel has to offer in the room - water, wine, glasses, etc. - has a pretty hefty price tag on it, which might be understandable in a lower tier hotel, but for the price we were paying a night, it just seems nickel-and-dime kind of stuff. Also, the shower head is old and not all the jets worked and the water pressure was low. In all, not the experience we had hoped for. Read less

Dec 16, 2024 Dave C San Diego, California

Dreadful stay! We were moved to 4 different rooms due to noise and one room smelled like cigarettes. When we finally got a decent room, on the second night people above us decided to have an all night party. We had to call security multiple times and didn’t go to sleep past 1 am. The rooms in general have paper thin walls, beware!
