Another failure to be able to book an award stay in Napa at the Westin - Monday, Oct 12. Once again, only "traditional rooms" available for award stays and there are very few of these in the hotel.

I don't think you can self park - but you wouldn't be saving any $$ if that is your motivation because everyone pays the resort fee which "includes" parking. There is a lot of street parking but why use it?
Curious as to why the question?
FYI, I just booked another stay there over labor day for two rooms using points - so far I am two for two and have had no problem getting rooms here.

I was at this property a couple weeks ago and the two gentlemen doing the valet'ing were really nice guys and went out of their way to please. I'm sure they'll take care of you.
Your only other option is the street parking across the street from the hotel which sounds sub-optimal for an "exotic" vehicle.

It's just a garage under the hotel that they valet you to. It's like fifteen seconds from the front door walking. You could just walk in there if you wanted.

I've mentioned this before, but one of the best aspects of this hotel is the casual "Bank Cafe" just off the lobby. The food is prepared by the kitchen of La Toque, the high end restaurant that is part of the hotel, at half the cost, and is excellent. We had a 3 course prix fixe dinner that was one of the better meals we've had anywhere in the Napa/Sonoma area for $29 per person.

Taxes on Reward Stays
I was able to book a stay on points (12000) for the upcoming weekend....a one-night stay on a Saturday night (May 22) booked one day ahead.
The confirmation speaks both to the resort fee ($20) and taxes that are payable:
Taxes
State Occupancy 12.0 Percent Per Room Per Night Not In The Rate
Isn't that a bit unusual for reward nights?

Interestingly, there is also a cancellation penalty of about $200!
