BUT if you are a person who will sleep late or work in the room, the lot immediately adjacent is being torn up for a major construction project, and by 8:00 AM, the big graders and all are busily at work. Plenty of noise. Select a room facing the south side for more light and less noise.
My oldest son and his bride spent the first half of their honeymoon at the HGI Napa just 5 weeks ago. They did not mention any construction noise, so maybe it's a new project. It's also possible, no probable, that you did not visit as many wineries as they did each day.
They may have mistaken the construction noise for pounding-in-the-head hangovers.
They were very pleased with the hotel and the dozen wineries they visited in 2 1/2 days. They also found a brewpub nearby for those moments when they weren't drinking wine.
