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.

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!

The location of the property is perfect! Walking distance to everything downtown, but still quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend staying here!

Location of the hotel within walking distance to downtown, and a room with a fireplace and balcony overlooking the Napa River were the main reasons we booked.

Once there we loved the ambiance and attention to detail in the hotel lobby, bar and the room. We found the staff to be friendly and acoomodating. There is a lovely area outside the hotel overlooking the river with sitting areas and we enjoyed soaking up some December afternoon sunshine in a couple of rocking chairs just watching the river flow.

Stayed 4 nights at the River Terrace Inn for a Thanksgiving trip to Napa that we booked through Costco (with a rental car from SFO - highly recommend if you don’t mind driving because the drive alone is gorgeous).

Stayed 4 nights at the River Terrace Inn for a Thanksgiving trip to Napa that we booked through Costco (with a rental car from SFO - highly recommend if you don’t mind driving because the drive alone is gorgeous). It was wonderful! It was down season so was cooler and quiet and the price was unbeatable for this area. The hotel is simply beautiful. Room was a little tight on space but comfortable. The restaurant had a delicious breakfast we enjoyed daily before heading out to explore (was closed for lunch and dinner at the time) and we enjoyed a glass of wine back at the restaurant bar which was open in the evenings. Lovely decor and good vibes all around. The outdoor patio is gorgeous with plenty of seating, fire pits, and beautiful river views. The walk to the Ox Bow market (under 10min) and downtown (under 15min) along the river path was safe and easy. All of the staff were kind and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!

Just checked out after a 4 day stay. Really lovely property with huge, new rooms. Very clean. Great location just outside downtown. Dead quiet inside and out makes for a restful visit. Extremely friendly staff also. Gave us nice credit for the bar and a discount on the wine train. Really can’t recommend it enough for the money. Only small improvement would be to have more weights in the gym. Read less
