The motel was very clean, updated and comfortable and we loved the hot tub. Only downside was the breakfast could be improved and the road noise was significant, but we were only three doors from the road. Ask for a room away from the road closer to the office and I’m sure your experience will be exceptional!

Enjoyed the fire pit. Loved that the pool and spa were heated. Loved the clean doggy area. Very nice property. The smell in our room could have improved but the linens and towels smelled clean and wonderful.

Excellent stay. The only critique was that there was no parking in the lot, since a number of guests had cars that were occupying two spaces.

Very good value with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is a huge plus—right in the middle of Napa Valley, making it easy to hit wineries in every direction. The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable, and the property has that classic retro-Napa charm. The pool and grounds add a nice, relaxed feel after a day of tasting. Breakfast is very plain, but it does the job. Overall, El Bonita Motel is a convenient, dependable base for exploring the valley, and I would stay there again.

I stayed in one of the updated rooms facing the pool and had a great stay! The front desk was very helpful and kind. I was able to check in a bit early and the price of the room was a great price. I also enjoyed that they provided a simple breakfast in the morning with our stay.

We had a wonderful experience: the receptionist was cordial and efficient we got upgraded to a king de luxe for no price increase. The check in was smooth and fast. It was a pleasant surprise the room was spacious, clean, completely furnished with modern but with classic vibe. We first stayed here about twenty years ago and now with the place nicely renovated and the upgrade included a pretty good size turfed dog run in the west side of the building. We will definitely consider coming back here on our next trip to the wine country. Thank you so much.
