Guest Reviews
- Tina (10/5): It was a wonderful experience & thoroughly enjoyed our stay. - Great property. Beautiful room, Convenient location. Loved everything about the property.
- Ham (10/5): -
- mary (9/5): very good - breakfast was the only bummer loved the parking right in front of my room, the pool area very nice and the room very clean. and the manager mitchell very on topo of things breakfast
- Andrea (10/5): Cute place, will stay there again. - Dog friendly! This particular stay was expensive, but we have got reasonable rates before.
- Wild (10/5): -
- Carissa (9/5): Beautiful views within walking distance to stores and restaurants. Nice, clean, comfortable motel. -
- Hallie (8/5): Very nice motel stay, close to wineries! - The hot tub was great and we could walk to some wineries The breakfast was pretty disappointing. Only sweet things like pastries and and fruit. They could easily add some sliced bread and a toaster, and something like hard-boiled eggs and sliced cheese for people who like more savory breakfast.
- Ranie (10/5): -
- Etai (9/5): -
- PABLO (9/5): -
- Bangsund (10/5): -
- Debra (10/5): Great location! - Breakfast was very limited. We enjoyed the location. Very limited continental breakfast with only a few doughnuts available. Fairly pricey, but I guess comparable to other options in the area.
- Songlim (9/5): -
- Kathleen (7/5): El Bonita is a tranquil place to rest your head at night and rev up for the day in wine country. - I liked that the rooms were very clean and all appliances worked properly including outlets, faucets, and lights. There was plenty of space for hanging and putting away clothes. Plenty of towels. Amenities like coffee pots, microwaves and refridgerators worked well. The hot water in the shower lasted forever!! The refridgerator wasnt secured to its platform and kept falling out of its cabinet. The door to the refridgerator swung open in an odd direction. Stains on the floor rugs. The showerhead nozzle had 4 settings but the indications for settings was very hard to read as well as it was difficult to switch between the spray settings. The mattresses were a bit firm for my preference. The privacy shade window coverings were not obvious or pointed out by staff on their use. All in all this was a fine establishment there were a few quirks that could be fixed to make the rooms and utilities more user friendly for elderly and disabled guests. Finally Id like to say for the prices it seems the breakfast could have been a bit more substantial. There were no protein options or hot food items.
- John (8/5): -
- Julie (10/5): - El Bonita is a charming little motel. The room was large and clean. We stayed for 2 nights in the back of the motel ( garden room) very quiet and easy to access for my family member with mobility issues. Close proximity to hospital ( 4 miles) highly recommend a stay here for visiting or business in the area. Speaking of the area it is an affordable option. The pool was clean and heated, decent hot tub and even a little sauna. I would stay here again happily. The front desk host was not very pleasant, bordering rude. My interaction with him was brief. The other younger man the next day was not rude but very clueless. He couldn't even find the coffee creamer that was provided in the rooms. I just wanted some replacement, never got any.
- Michael (8/5): Good Napa valley value - The property was recently redone. It is clean. The staff is friendly and it is in a good location. It’s a little bit of a walk to downtown but not a bad one. It is a motel style so sometimes people are walking right by your window.
- Diana (10/5): Lugar Acogedor y tranquilo! - Bonita Motel fue ese pequeño refugio que no sabíamos que necesitábamos ✨ La pasamos increíble, entre risas, descanso y momentos que simplemente se disfrutan sin prisa. Su jacuzzi fue nuestro lugar favorito, perfecto para desconectarnos y recargar energía. El desayuno, sencillo pero lleno de sabor, nos recordó que a veces lo más básico, cuando se hace con cariño, se disfruta mucho más 🫶 Un lugar acogedor, tranquilo y con ese toque especial que hace que quieras volver. Sin duda, una experiencia que guardamos con mucho cariño 🤍
- KANGAS (8/5): - Location
- Josh (7/5): It was clean, quiet, and affordable. - Clean Nothing
- Eric (7/5): It was a good stay. - Pretty close to everything. Rooms are clean. Staff is friendly. The bed had a big dip in it. The cleaner didn’t clean very well. There was an empty cigarette carton. Which is not a big deal. You can easily hear people in the next room and outside.
- sally (9/5): -
- Orie (9/5): - Location and the vibe! Nothing really
- Abbey (9/5): - Great pool, hot tub and grounds. Friendly staff. Quiet, clean and comfortable rooms. Great value.
- Oleg (9/5): - All new and clean. Nice staff. Pool. Hot tub. Sauna. Amazing motel overall I would add ham and cheese slices on breakfast and charge $10 more for the room)
- Melanie (10/5): We had a wonderful time. It was a nice place to come home too and stay for the night. - Very relaxed atmosphere felt very comfortable. Enjoyed the hot tub and all amenities.! Couldn’t get the TV to work..
- Linda (5/5): ….. - On a positive note ~ the remodel of the rooms around the pool look great! We are usually in the back. And the breakfast room was a great idea too! I have stayed at the El Bonita many times over the past 15 years. I have never dealt with a non-caring individual as I had to this past weekend. Our room was to be 2-beds (3 people) and he couldn’t care less. Terrible customer service. I get it that you’re sold out, but not an offer for a rollaway, nothing! We worked it out amongst ourselves, since others in our group were staying there too. Really hope they get rid of the biker dude wearing an Iron Maiden ratty T-shirt before the next time we stay there.
- Gerri (10/5): Fantastic! - Pool was great. Motel rooms are tastefully decorated. All conveniences; fun bathroom. Fantastic bed!!
- Jesse (10/5): -
- Nicole (7/5): Good value in the heart of Napa Valley - Great location, and inexpensive for the valley. The morning breakfast could be better.
- Eric (8/5): -
- Joan Elizabeth Buehler (6/5): Pricey for February, basic moderate-size room and basic breakfast. - El Bonita Motel, 1 mile south from center of St Helena. Basic motel, parking in front of room. Room clean and bed fairly comfy, shower gel/shampoo provided. 2 nights in February. Basic breakfast included in price, some cereals, croissants, yogurt, some fruit, coffee/water for tea. Basic motel, very close to the road, so some noise. Not really walking distance to town, so you need a car. Staff not particularly happy or friendly, functional. Room a little dated, not particularly spacious, not much table-top or flat space for 2 carry-on size cases. No closet, 5 hangers. Quite pricey in February for average functional amenities (we paid half this price a few days earlier across from San Francisco Airport!). Basic breakfast, functional room, not a huge choice, no toast/toaster, or cooked breakfast, cereal choices mostly high sugar varieties.
- Stephen (8/5): Great price, nice surroundings, very good rooms - The back building and fire pit. Very pleasant. Free breakfast is nice but average and the good stuff runs out quickly on weekends.
- Lesley (9/5): Great niche property in a perfect location. - Beautiful retro motel but the poolside room was newly renovated (or it looked that way)! Property was fabulous.
- Geizel (10/5): Amazing place. - Everything.
- Francisco (10/5): - La limpieza y el buen servicio de los empleados
- Abby (8/5): -
- Ian (9/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): Cute place, I would stay again. - Newly renovated, retro-chic! Proximity to the main road, we were in a front room.
- Laurence (8/5): - grande chambre avec une terrasse très agréable parking , l emplacement manque un micro ondes dans la chambre moquette,
- Virginia (10/5): Wonderful - I was getting knee surgery at Coons so I was fasting . Cannot say enough excellent things about the El Bonita Nothinh
- Malinda (8/5): -
- Francoise (9/5): - A lovely stay in one of the oldest motel in Napa, retaining a 60s feeling
- Bonnieellenk (10/5): It was great - better than expected. - Room was clean and well furnished. Breakfast - although got there a little late.
- Francisco (10/5): Agradable - Buen servicio del personal
- Sharon (8/5): - Very clean & well maintained. All the facilities were pleasant, comfortable and quiet. The patio doors had curtains so old the sun damage had worn stripes thru them thru which you could see daylight. One screen was off track. Carpet could use a good cleaning or replacement.
- Elsa (8/5): -
- Kelly (9/5): -
- Maryann (10/5): Arrived in the late afternoon, got checked in an immediately headed to the hot tub. We had the place to ourselves as we - Hot tub with easy access. Clean room with glasses provided for your wine. Convenient location and great prices. No complaints.
- Lisa (9/5): We really liked this hotel and would definitely stay here again! - Room was cute, clean, and had everything we needed! Staff was friendly. We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub as well as the fire pit. The free breakfast was simple but more than adequate. Light sleepers might be bothered by street noise in the evening and morning (quiet during the night) and cars parking right outside their room if they get a room in the front part of the hotel. We heard the cars but it wasn't a problem for us.
- Fernando (10/5): -
- Fernando (10/5): -
- Fernando (10/5): - The room the management provided was great... Garden view and very spacious, definitely worth staying here I didn't like leaving... I would have preferred to stay longer in those types of rooms... Room 34-A was very comfortable.
- Ania (10/5): -
- Jenny Carolina (9/5): -
- Linnea (9/5): Good value, great location for sightseeing - Close to downtown, friendly staff, nice room decor
- JUSTIN (8/5): -
- Francisco (10/5): -
- Javier (8/5): -
- Ignacio (9/5): A clean, comfortable, and well-priced hotel with good amenities, best suited for guests who don’t mi - The hotel offered excellent value for the area—reasonably priced, very clean, with nice amenities, convenient on-site parking, and a comfortable bed. The only (small) drawback is the location, as it is not within walking distance of town or dining options, although the drive into town is very short. Everything else about the stay was very good.
- Marybeth (10/5): Perfect spot in St Helena - The decor, gardens, staff. A bit noisy at times from Hey29, but that can’t be helped.
- Joseph (9/5): Looking Forward to Returning - Great
- M (9/5): -
- Amanda (9/5): -
- Andy (10/5): Would definitely stay again - The style of the property and rooms, classy comforable, great value Nothing, I was expecting a somewhat "tired" non-brand name motel, but was very satisfied with the entire property in what would otherwise be an expensive one nigt stay.
- Esther (8/5): -
- Kurtiss (10/5): Thanks for a wonderful place to stay while visiting Napa Valley. We hope to be back again some day! - Breakfast was fresh & the fruit was delicious! The cleanest motel (or hotel) room I’ve ever stayed in. Location & accommodations were fantastic. Would definitely stay there again! Nothing!
- Viviana (8/5): -
- Dick (8/5): -
- Paul (8/5): -
- Susie (10/5): -
- William (6/5): adequate but way overpriced - Overpriced. We stayed overnight in Monterey the day before, a few blocks from the ocean, for 1/4 of the cost of this hotel.
- Mark (7/5): - Tanya was excellent
- Taylar (9/5): -
- Dennis (9/5): If you’re looking for an excellent spot to stay in the middle of wine country, El Bonita is the plac - Breakfast was terribly basic. I wouldn’t include that as a positive point of the hotel. Breakfast. The room air conditioner was unusually noisy. I must admit, I didn’t tell anybody about it.
- Cindy (5/5): -
- Daniel (9/5): -
- Janette (8/5): It was good - Almost everything Fan aims straight at your face when you’re laying in bed
- ROJAS (10/5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente experiencia, perfecta para días fríos - Nos encantó nuestra estadía en el Bonita Motel. La piscina y el jacuzzi estaban calientes, perfectos para los días fríos. Todo muy limpio, excelente ubicación y el desayuno estuvo muy bien para el precio. Un plus el café en la habitación. Disfrutamos mucho la fogata en la noche con un vino de una cata que hicimos ese día. ¡La pasamos increíble!
- Bianca (6/5): Not organized and there business practices are appalling. - The location Needs new management
- Erich (10/5): Great small town with good local restaurants. - Comfy bed. All of the hot water you could want. Quiet despite being across the road from the railroad tracks. Near town. .Everything was like new. Great decor. Window blinds really shut-out the light. Microwave was a little persnickety. Have to press stop to get the door to release. Just a bit awkward to get it to do what you want.
- Clifford (10/5): As always an excellent stay and the best price in Napa Valley. Location in St Helena is outstanding. - Room was recently renovated and was very attractive. Nothing
- Paula (10/5): Great - Remodeled Everything was great
- Stephanie (10/5): -
- Brizeida (10/5): My husband he is a handyman he did nothing but complement the place - Location and price There is nothing that I dislike
- Valentin (10/5): -
- Stevens (10/5): This is my third stay in 30 days and I LOVE this beautiful boutique motel! - Courtesy Staff, clean and well kept property, beautiful pool area with jacuzzi & sauna, Comfortable beds, beautiful decor, convenient amenities in walking distance and BEST priced in area. Only con for me is location off busy highway, noise factor of traffic and challenge of navigating in and out of facility
- Beth V (10/5): -
- Garret (10/5): - great location
- Evangelia (10/5): -
- Gladys (8/5): Our stay was comfortable. - The location except that the busy Main Street was noisy! It was renovated and cute.
- Guest (10/5): -
- Roberto (6/5): Not much to expect from a 2-star - Room is spacious. Pressure in the shower is good. Location is close to many wineries. The A/C was very noisy and despite setting it to the max, it didn't warm up the room enough. Decor is very outdated and the room, while big, doesn't feel cozy. The motel has a lot of potemtial, but in the current conditions does not have any charm.
- BRONWYN (9/5): Would recommend - Only a Short walk to town. The property was great. A variety of rooms and sizes Simple breakfast that was a good start to the day.
- Carolyn (10/5): Good place to stay. I would happily use this motel again. - clean & nicely furnished. a very good price for the area.
- Amanda (10/5): -
- Emily (10/5): -
- Gerrie (9/5): I've enjoyed my stay here and location was convenient - This motel has every detail design and thought put in it that you expect a 4star hotel to have. Love the room, heat was efficient, shower fantastic, wifi is fine. Only thing is the TV streaming no way to easily stream Netflix or Prime Video.
