Very good value with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is a huge plus—right in the middle of Napa Valley, making it easy to hit wineries in every direction. The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable, and the property has that classic retro-Napa charm. The pool and grounds add a nice, relaxed feel after a day of tasting. Breakfast is very plain, but it does the job. Overall, El Bonita Motel is a convenient, dependable base for exploring the valley, and I would stay there again.

I stayed in one of the updated rooms facing the pool and had a great stay! The front desk was very helpful and kind. I was able to check in a bit early and the price of the room was a great price. I also enjoyed that they provided a simple breakfast in the morning with our stay.

We had a wonderful experience: the receptionist was cordial and efficient we got upgraded to a king de luxe for no price increase. The check in was smooth and fast. It was a pleasant surprise the room was spacious, clean, completely furnished with modern but with classic vibe. We first stayed here about twenty years ago and now with the place nicely renovated and the upgrade included a pretty good size turfed dog run in the west side of the building. We will definitely consider coming back here on our next trip to the wine country. Thank you so much.
