La Residence

We had high hopes. The websites photos were so nice. However, we were disappointed by a bed that was so soft that my back hurt the next day, a room with no dvd player (though most do have dvd players) and that was just so so, and a staff that just seemed to want to give the bare minimum and no more. Being super friendly goes a long way with us, but this place does not have a friendly atmosphere. And, although the breakfast room is nice and comfortable, the breakfast is blah, nothing special at all. Coffee, on the other hand, was very good. Overall, not worth the money at all.

Overall la residence was fine. The staff was great, but it was the little things that made it a 3 star rather than a 4 star. First, I felt as if I rented a cabin rather than stayed at a hotel, for Some that would be fine, but I like a busier atmosphere. Second, the continental breakfast, skip it, it's not worth it even when it's free. Like I said la residence is fine, just don't expect 4 stars and you will enjoy it.

My husband and I really enjoyed staying here for a couple nights in Napa. The room was large and the bed and shower were the ultimate in comfort! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Excellent. As some earlier reviews stated, it is located right off the highway so there is some highway noise if you are overly sensitive to it, but we never noticed it while in our room. Our room was very quiet. And if you want the ultimate in privacy than this may not be for you. If you keep the drapes open others can and will look into your room, so you need to keep the drapes closed which does block out the light, however, since we were out all day that didn't seem to be too big of a problem for us. A nice place for a romantic get away or a trip with friends, but not designed for children.

The place is absolutely beautiful. It has features of a large hotel, but not the feel of it. It is quaint, yet not as small as a bed and breakfast. The staff is accommodating and wonderful. We will definitely stay there again.

Nice place to stay while visiting the Napa wine country. Lovely grounds. Very helpful staff. We enjoyed our room and would go again. I would tell others, to try to book rooms away from the front. The hotel is pretty close to the road which has a lot of morning traffic.

My husband and I just got back from a week long stay at La Residence and we honestly could not have asked for a better place to stay. The hotel is small and so few people there (especially during the weekdays) that we rarely ever saw anyone else around. The only day that we saw more than 4 people at breakfast or the wine reception was Friday. The hotel is a five minute drive from the Rutherford/Yountville wineries where we spent most of our time. It's also very close to downtown Napa with several wonderful restaurants. The only downside we experienced with our stay was the noise level from Highway 29 which is very close to the hotel. Other than the noise, though, the La Residence hotel is a perfect quiet getaway.

We stayed one night for our 7th anniversary and it was very nice. The rooms are comfortable and very nicely decorated and the bathroom large and spacious. The bed (very important in my book) was very comfortable and had high quality linens. The staff was very nice and helpful. It's very quaint and quiet in beautiful surroundings with trees and vineyards. A real gem of a place that I would definitely go back to. If I have any complaint it's that I felt a full breakfast could be included with the price. You do get a continental breakfast included, which is quite nice. The pastries were delicious!

We had a wonderful stay at La Residence in Napa. The property is beautiful, with a lovey pool, hot tub, and many outside spots to relax, drink a glass of wine, and soak in the beautiful scenery. The rooms were spacious and had a great deal of character - very french country. Bistro Don Giovanni is within walking distance so we had a great meal and didn't even have to travel. We will definitely plan to come back and stay again!

We picked this inn based on other reviews. We were coming in from the east coast for a weekend get-away and wanted nice accomodations that left us with money left over for wine! It didn't disppoint, clean good sized room in a perfect location for restuarants and wineries. Very friendly and helpful staff.

This was a cool little hotel. It's only 25 or 30 rooms, but it has a distinct bed and breakfast feel to it. The rooms are cozy, but not too small. The hotel is kept up very well. When hotels advertise Continental Breakfasts, I generally dry-heave a bit, but this has a nice little buffet with fresh coffee and orange juice, and you actually sit down and order an omelette or french toast. The wine tasting in the afternoon offers a nice little break and/or warm up for a night out. We didn't have any road noise to speak of, even though it's right on the highway. The staff was friendly and helpful. I'd go back.
