Napa River Inn

Very quaint Historic Hotel nice location that is walkable to First Ave and Oxbow, but away from busier areas. It would be a nice property for families with bakery, candy store below, but no pool. We came in Jan. Assume it would be very pleasant in warm weather. Rooms was larger than expected and had everything we wanted. I did unplug the fridge which was very noisy and there was morning garbage truck on Sat. Liked the Fink below hotel as well and restaurants were popular below but did not try. Friday wine reception was nice touch - wish it everyday. Iced water in reception was also only on Friday, it would nice if available all the time.

We have stayed at this property a couple of times and really appreciate the quiet, easy and convenient location. You can easily walk all of downtown Napa and across river the Oxbow and other locations. It feels quiet and safe. Parking is super easy and convenient. The staff here is excellent and so attentive. When you arrive there are always a few people ready to attend to you, bags, car, etc. The front desk staff is helpful and friendly as is the housekeeping staff. The bakery next door is excellent and its a perfect quick bite, coffee or sweet treat. We have only ever stayed in the Plaza building which many rooms face the river. They are beautiful, spacious rooms with comfortable beds and plenty of amenities. Our one complaint is the building hallways and common areas feel dated and older. Very nice but could use a bright, freshening up soon. Our other complaint is that we had a small child above us on our second night that was running, jumping, bouncing and yelling for a solid 2 hours after arrival. We called to front desk and they promptly contacted the guest but it only seemed to escalate the noise. A second phone call seemed to quiet things a bit but first thing the next morning the stomping, jumping, screaming and yelling began early and continued for quite some time until we decided to just check out early and get going. It didn't ruin our trip but it was unfortunate and I would suggest they try to put people with younger children on the first floor.

The sound transmission between floors was a bummer as we had some kids running in the room above us. Other than this, we had a great stay at a reasonable rate.

The room is what I asked for! It was comfortable and clean. The bed was very comfortable which is important to me because I typically have a hard time sleeping in hotel beds. The staff was very courteous and accommodating!! They went the extra mile to make sure our 30th anniversary was memorable! We will definitely be back again! there are only 2 things that I was a little disappointed in 1) is that I wish the refrigerator in the room was a mini refrigerator instead of a wine fridge. It didn’t keep my medication or breakfast drink very cold. 2) The flames on the fire place wasn’t very high so it didn’t have the fire place illumination feel. It looked like a pilot light not a real fire. These are minor compared to what is offered and we would still visit again and would definitely recommend to family and friends! Thank you so much for a very memorable stay!!
