Sure. No Problem.
Couple of thoughts.
- Rooms: Very high quality, modern build with solid architectural detail (if you like California modern) with nice touches like fire pits on balconies (propane with a timer switch -- think most if not all have this?) and Napa Co soap bars in bathroom; TVs are large and modern and allow you to sign in directly to your streaming subscriptions like Netflix. No problems at all with Aircon (Does shutoff when doors are open to deck but not a big deal)
- Food: The restaurant was very good, new California fare. Note that platinum breakfast is underwhelming, think it was just yogurt parfait
- Service: They mentioned they were training up a new staff and it showed as there were a couple snafus on orders etc but management was all over it and apologetic. That stuff happens; the proof is in the recovery which they did very well. Overall very kind staff.
- Location: Between Beringer vineyards (you get tasting discount as guest) and town of St. Helena. Both walkable (literally adjacent to Beringer and 5-10 minute walk to edge of St. Helena).
- Pool: Very nice, not crowded at all even though hotel fully booked for weekend; kept at 82 degrees so warm even in cold Napa spell
Couple other things worth noting: they are shooting for a sedate, mature Napa getaway vibe. As a result, no kids allowed (Did see one couple rogue show up with kids and hotel was kind enough not to turn them away but told them, in an apologetic way, that the children could not use the pool; felt like hotel handled it well). Also, they said as we checked in that if any guests were being disruptive (i.e. loud bachelor parties etc) to tell them since that was not in keeping with the vibe of the resort. To that end, a group of guys did appear and could be heard drinking loudly on their balcony at 11 AM ("Shotgun that beer!"). As soon as they came out to the pool, two managers came up to the group and talked to them and the large group dispersed; never heard a peep thereafter.
In terms of room choice, I would book into something with a vineyard view and hope to get upgraded from there. The base rooms overlook the beringer lawns; there is a glimpse of the parking lot from that angle, not offenses, but not as relaxing as the vineyard view that also captures sunset. As for rooms, the pre-upgraded us to a junior suite in the 3rd floor. Very nice room. Effectively the corner room with one terrace facing the vineyard and the other overlooking the pool; a mirror that room is on the other side of the pool. The 2nd floor room in same position had a bigger deck but I think that was the superior or some other suite. A bit more room for lounging on the deck but honestly, the Jr. suite's decks were plenty big including a dining table. If you want afternoon sun in that room, ask for one to left of pool when facing the vineyard and for morning light on the deck, chose the one to the right of the pool.
