SENZA Hotel

Beautiful resort, we liked basically everything. The suites are spacious (we had the cellar king), very friendly staff, good food, pool area is nice, free parking, etc.

Nothing

Full disclosure - this review is not about the grounds, the food, general vineyard ambience or anything besides the room I booked. We arrived pretty late, and I was simply looking forward to the Garden Suite I thought I saw in the various pictures online. Now, I don’t doubt that there are really well appointed, well designed rooms here based on the visitor pictures posted on tripadvisor - but this just isn’t one of them. As soon as my partner and I walked in - to say the least we were super disappointed. It is a cold room- no decor to speak of, concrete floors, blue fluorescent bulbs in the lamps, a porch that at least at night looks at a door, but really when opened it looks out at not much at all. To cap it off, it is simply not a suite- at least not in any sense that I expect and most any other hotel delivers . It is a room: you walk in, there’s a bed and a bathroom. A suite generally implies that there is at the very least a separate sitting area, not two chairs at the foot of the bed. Even if it was a junior suite, there would be a couch. Very misleading. To be honest, if it wasn’t so late and we weren’t exhausted, I would complain and ask for a refund of at least the difference in price between a regular room and a suite. Yes there is a soaking tub, and a fireplace. There’s that. Like I said, I’m sure there are beautiful rooms here, but do your due diligence. This one is just not up to par. I really don’t see the reason you would upgrade from a king room except maybe more square footage.

Friendly staff and beautiful location

Room was well appointed, beautiful and spacious. We had a lovely vineyard view. Pool was small, but not busy. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast/bar area was charming and the food was tasty. Only reason for 4 stars was the location close to a busy road and a school (though you couldn't hear either from inside your room).

My husband booked a Mother’s Day weekend getaway at Senza Hotel hoping for a relaxing and restorative experience, but unfortunately it turned into a weekend getaway from hell. Upon checking in, we did a walkthrough of the room and immediately noticed a cabinet hanging broken off its hinge and a closet light that was out, making it difficult to unpack. These issues alone weren’t major dealbreakers, and we notified maintenance thinking they’d simply be addressed. As we explored the property, we also discovered the hot tub was out of service, which was a huge disappointment considering that was one of the amenities we were looking forward to during a relaxing spa-style getaway. Back in the room later that evening, I tried turning on the TV to unwind and found it completely nonfunctional. I troubleshot the remote myself, but it became obvious the issue was either the television itself or the outlet because even the physical power button on the TV wouldn’t work. At that point I tried to stay positive and decided maybe it was a good opportunity to do some reading instead. I notified the front desk and moved on. Unfortunately, things escalated from there. When I went to shower that night, there was no hot water. At 10:30 PM, I was forced to move rooms. After already trying to settle in for the evening, this was exhausting and frustrating. The replacement room then lacked a microwave, meaning I couldn’t even make coffee in the morning. I figured I’d just use their advertised in-room breakfast ordering system instead. The next morning, half asleep, I scanned the QR code provided. Between 7:30 AM and 9:45 AM I tried repeatedly to order breakfast. The site either loaded a blank screen or displayed an error message stating: “Sorry, but our order processing system is currently unavailable. Please contact us for assistance.” The problem? There was no phone number listed anywhere on the error page or the in-room card with the QR code. Breakfast service hours were only from 7–10 AM, and after over two hours of trying, I finally gave up. I had originally booked a two-night stay but ended up calling my husband to pick me up at 10:30 the following morning because I simply could not justify staying another night. The only reason I didn’t leave the previous evening was because this trip was meant to be my Mother’s Day gift, and I truly wanted to give the hotel every chance possible. We also have a son who had already been tucked into bed, and calling my husband so late at night for a pickup would have meant waking our son up and taking a rideshare alone so late at night didn’t feel particularly safe. What’s most frustrating is that each issue on its own might have been manageable, but together they reflected a property that felt poorly maintained and operationally disorganized. A broken cabinet, burnt-out light, unusable hot tub, broken TV, no hot water, missing microwave, and a nonfunctional breakfast system all within less than 24 hours is simply unacceptable for what was described a Luxury Napa Getaway experience. I left feeling disappointed, stressed, and exhausted instead of rested and celebrated on Mother’s Day weekend.

We had a wonderful time during our stay at SENZA hotel. Enjoyed every moment of our time at this place. Highly recommend for future stay.
