“I absolutely enjoyed my stay here, company trip so not sure on price point. Very quiet and clean historic hotel. No, breakfast any amenities to speak of. A couple of restaurants in walking distance but rather pricey.”

“One of the best places to stay in Napa. Great location by the river with beautiful views. Walkable distance to downtown and all great locations around town. The hotel staff is very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast coupons included in the hotel reservation are totally worth it! The rooms are clean and have cozy patios overlooking the river. Definitely recommended.”

“My husband and I stay here often, but most recently I stayed with 3 girlfriends. I had a lovely view of the river and the most comfortable mattress and dreamy sheets and pillows. I pay attention to an app that gives me my sleep score nightly, and I''m typically in the 70s-80s. This night at Napa River Inn, I scored a 92! The location is perfect for exploring the shops and restaurants in downtown Napa. We had a decadent dinner at Angele, located a few doors down, and enjoyed a yummy breakfast sandwich at the bakery next door. Try their "morning bun" too. SO tasty!”

“From the moment you walk through the door, you feel at home! Their service was impeccable! Very friendly, professional and helpful staff! Our room was beautiful, bed is comfortable and the hotel grounds were manicured daily. They are a dog-friendly hotel and welcomed our dog with open arms- welcome sign and gift basket! Great location in downtown Napa, walking distance to everything”

“Must stay if you are in Napa. I honestly can’t say enough about how much this made my trip. From the absolutely top tier staff and service quality to the rooms (comfy beds and insanely comfy pillows) to the best location with everything walkable. I mean you’d be crazy to not stay here. Sweetie pies is incredible and everyone is just great. Walked along the river with my morning coffee and dinner at the celadon. Walk to the market I mean it’s great. Big shout out to Trent for coming to rescue in an emergency print. Not only did he help me out in a huge pinch but he went above and beyond and it meant a lot. To whoever Trent’s supervisor is, do whatever you can to keep him and the rest of your incredible staff. This makes the stay very special and I appreciate the care and attention to detail.”
