Updating review:

Stayed here with 20k award on Friday night, and once again this property exceeded all expectations! Checkin was fast - as Explorist was not expecting much but we were upgraded to top floor suite with a tub - even nicer than the room we received 2 years ago. Was surprised to learn the minibar is complimentary except for alcohol (which we really didn't need after a day of wine tasting. Saw no reason to valet as self-park is $10 at the public garage behind the hotel - very convenient. The rooms and bathrooms are gorgeous. On this minus side, I don't like bathrooms that have a sliding door and no separate door for the toilet (and no fan) - this is fine for business hotels but not so great for couples (which I would imagine are the bulk of business here). Also not a fan of showers that do not have doors and did not appreciate standing in an inch of water due to slow drainage. The free wine offered at checkin was mediocre. But these are minor complaints... Overall this continues to be one of the best chain properties in the area (the Westin is comparable) with a great location in walking distance of many restaurants and nightlife (such as it is in downtown Napa). The staff was uniformly wonderful.
