Remind me on the SNA. If I select Vineyard View AND Junior Suite and both are available at the 5 day window will the system automatically allocate to the Junior Suite or there is a risk it would go with the Vineyard View when the Junior Suite was really available? That is my only hesitation at this point.

Other than the six rooms in the house, the rest of the rooms are all the same (other than the suites) with the only difference being the view. The Estate View room is very pleasant unless you are a very very light sleeper as you can sometimes get noise from the main road. My wife is a pretty light sleeper and has never had a problem though. And, while i hate that some hotels put non-suites in the SNA pool, this is a rare spot where the vineyard view is a material upgrade so depending on other uses, you should consider using them here.

One other note...if you have hyatt points and were OK with the drive from downtown Napa, the Andaz is way better than the westin. But this seems like a no brainer to stay at the alcobas.
