River Terrace Inn

Charge for having your own wine on property and $6. For a coke is crazy after what they charge for the stay and food

Location

The hotel is beautiful and conveniently located within walking distance to shops and stores. The overall atmosphere is very nice. However, the food could use some improvement, and the walls are quite thin—we were woken up by conversations from the next room.

Great location, lovely view of the river

The location of the hotel is very convenient/ walkable to Oxbo Market, Model Bakery and downtown Napa (.5 mile). We were gven a few “buy one, get one free” coupons upon check-in for coffee or house wine, so that was nice. We booked a standard double queen room. It had a small balcony that overlooked the drive/parking lot (which I expected so no big deal). The room itself was pretty plain (i.e., not a lot or charm or high-end features), but clean. The rooms overlooking the River certainly would have had a better view but I didn’t think k it was worth the increased cost given we don't spend much time in the room. Elevators were slow and unfortunately, it seemed that both the housekeeping staff and guests use the same elevators so that’s not ideal. The shower was a little weird in that it was hard to get the right temp and water pressure wasn’t great. But I have to say the hotel towels were "the worst" I’ve ever had. I've never found it necessary to comment on towels but these were like sandpaper, literally. I would think it’s an embarrassment for a hotel that bills itself as upscale would provide such awful towels to guests. Maybe not a deal-breaker for me to consider another stay, but I’m hoping the hotel sees this and upgrades their towels. We didn’t eat in the restaurant but the bartender was nice and the outdoor terrace with fire pits by the River was a pleasant place to sit with a glass of wine. (Hard to use the rocker/ glider over gravel however.) I would recommend Model Bakery or Loveski at Oxbo Market for breakfast. We also enjoyed Don Giovanni and Morimoto for dinner. However our splurge was Auberge for lunch, which was fabulous! Obviously there are tons of wineries (we reserved 2 per day with lunch between) but our favorite was Caymus.

Everything was perfect!!

I didn't like that breakfast close too early at 10AM. Because no lunch is available, breakfast should be keep open until 11:30AM.

Beautiful Place to stay...clean, convenient to local shops and restaurants, as well as local wineries! All around a great experince!

From the time we walked into the lobby until it was time to leave. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and the property was meticulously maintained. Easily walkable to the Oxbow Market and to downtown Napa. Definitely will stay here again on future visits.

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The terrace was peaceful and a great place to have coffee or enjoy a glass of wine.
