We were coming to town for an event and didn't want to drive home after so we decided to find a room for the night. We knew being in St Helena/Napa we'd probably pay about $500 /night. When I stumbled upon $200/night I was leery but after reading reviews I became optimistic and booked a room. We ended up arriving into town earlier than check-in so we called ahead and asked if early check-in was possible. The receptionist said yes! We arrived about 1 1/2 hr early. Our room was ready and check-in was very smooth. Receptionist was very pleasant. It appears renovations are taking place and we assumed that's why our room was so inexpensive for the area. We knew based on reviews the rooms were 'older' but as long as it was clean we didn't care. Our room seemed fairly updated with newer renovations. The bathroom was updated and the interior walls seemed too. The furniture was nice but most importantly, the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed our short stay very much. We would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Just what we were looking for. Don’t let the 2 star motel rating fool you. It’s a bargain, great location and very clean. We were wine tasting in the area with friends and we all stayed here…pool and spa were perfect, continental breakfast too!
