Our stay January 23 was - a usual HGI stay, Rm. # 302 assigned (two double beds), with no problems or highlights. Well, the highlight was actually at the same Bayleaf restaurant I mentioned previously - I received a call on my cell inquiring whether we were going to dine as per our booking, and we replied affirmatively. When we arrived, the parking lot was empty - huh! So was the bar - and the restaurant! Nonetheless, we were welcomed and served most attentively - owner Mounir Fahmy had decided that, though the restaurant was to close this day because they were catering a major event off-site, as we were driving down from Sacramento he would keep the restaurant open - just for us, and staff it with five people to provide for our dinner needs! :-: (The iDine miles and the 1,000 Open Table points merely added a layer of frosting!)

March 13 we stayed again and were upgraded to R. #308, facing westbound (could get warm in summer, as the same a/c used in standard rooms has to work overtime here,) a junior suite / twice the standard room size, with spacious bath and whirlpool tub. We were welcomed well, and the upgrade was on a $142 + tax AAA rate.

Breakfast was a bit desultory - there was no waffle batter in sight for the waffle iron, the short-order cook was less than cordial and the bread department was a bit short. The waiter seemed to be initially slack in keeping the solitary orange juice pitcher filed (and not much interest was being displayed in the very sweet cranberry-like concoction also available.) The two melons and pineapple were well-selected, however, and it was nice consuming ripe and tasty, sweet canteloupe and honeydew at winter's end.

We did have a very low and intermittent Wi-Fi signal in 318, and even with tech support were unable to get the Ethernet connection to work (the tech said he was escalating the problem to "Tech Support II" and offered to have someone call, possibly even today.

For Napa and vicinity, this HGI is still a good stay, clean and well maintained, often had at a decent price for the area.
