Charming and Updated!

I love staying at the El Bonita. It’s affordable, location is perfect, and breakfast is great. The WiFi was not working consistently on this stay, but it may be due to the rooms being beautifully renovated. Can’t wait to be back next month!

Had to have a Heart procedure at Adventist St Helena Hospital and this hotel was very accessible for my 78-year-old wife to travel to and from hospital. Only nine minutes from hospital and was centrally located close to multiple food establishments and grocery store. Hotel staff was very nice, and rooms were clean and quiet. Retro style hotel with modern upgrades. Wiil stay there again for pleasure. Decent room pricing considering most hotels within a 10-mile radius cost 2 to 5 times as much for probably almost same accommodations... Thanks, El Bonita......

Great place to stay in St, Helena.

Love the motel. Large room, huge bathtub. We were in Room 34a and I think it was recently remodeled. Mini bar area with fridge, microwave and and bar counter. Little patio area on back to sit outside. Picnic table under the trees to sit out and enjoy a glass of wine. In the evening they have a nice fire pit going so we sat out there with friends and enjoyed another glass of wine. Very cute motel. All the front rooms are under construction so it’s a little messy up front so we stayed in the back rooms that were available. we definitely recommend this cute motel for a quick stay in the Napa area very reasonably priced.

El Bonita is consistently one of our favorite places to stay. The staff are friendly, the rooms are clean, and the location is very convenient. They are currently renovating a portion of the property, so I'm eager to see what happens! We did not hear any construction sounds during our stay, so that's great.
