Embassy Suites by Hilton Napa Valley Review: What To REALLY Expect If You Stay

Pros

Short drive to numerous attractions and within walking distance of downtown Napa
All rooms are suites with separate living rooms, two flat-screen TVs, wet bars, mini-fridges, and microwave
Nice outdoor pool area, surrounded by the building, and a large indoor pool
Free cooked-to-order breakfast and free evening reception
In-room spa treatments and an on-site sauna
On-site restaurant and a mini-mart in the lobby

Cons

Fitness center is off-site, about a 5-minute drive away (access is free)
Fee for Wi-Fi

Bottom Line

The Embassy Suites in Napa does not look like your typical chain hotel upon arrival. It strives to emulate the Napa Valley vibe with manicured, sprawling grounds, a palm tree-lined, villa-like facade, and warm decor in the 2012-renovated suites. The juxtaposition of patterned rugs and patterned walls in these suites may have missed the mark (they feel a bit busy to some), but the decor is fresh and all suites feature separate living rooms, wet bars, mini-fridges, and microwaves. Families will enjoy the two nice pools -- the indoor pool is large and the outdoor pool is in a quiet courtyard, surrounded by the hotel (similar chain hotels often feature roadside pools), but the fitness center is a drive away.

Location

Outside of downtown Napa, just off of Highway 29

The Embassy Suites Napa Valley is within walking distance (10 minutes) of downtown Napa and its proximity to Highway 29 makes it a great home base for winery hopping.

Napa is one of the world's best wine-growing regions, with hundreds of wineries sprawling over rolling hills. Napa valley, unlike its neighbor Sonoma Valley, can occasionally feel a little touristy (it's not uncommon to see a tour bus parked at a winery), and it also feels geared toward visitors with cash to spend -- so those with lighter wallets might feel a little out of place. The beauty of the valley is striking at any time of the year, but especially during the harvest season (September and October) and spring. It can get very busy during the summer months, so expect crowds.

When it comes to checking into a hotel, we all have our routines. Do you flop down on the bed for a fluffiness test? Does your germaphobe kick in, pushing you to scan the space for bed bugs and other unwanted critters? Or, do you bolt for the window (or balcony, if you’re lucky) to…

Oyster Editors Name Their Favorite Hotel Chains

“Forgettable,” “predictable,” and “unoriginal” — these are the words that might come to mind when thinking of chain hotels. It’s easy to dismiss all chain properties as a series of dull beige duplicates that look and feel the same, whether that outpost is in Maine or Malta. But the truth is there are plenty of…
