major rip off, steer clear unless you like spending $$$
sounds cliche, but i seriously would give this place negative 5 stars if possible. i stayed here with the wife after we decided to stay in napa for one for night. what a mistake. first of all, i chose this place based on the website and price point ($400!). sure, it's not the most expensive place on the planet, but a $400 a night price point brings a certain expectation to it, wouldn't you say? well, let me share with you my horrible experience: (1) took probably 40 minutes just to check in. we literally stood in at the front desk for over 40 minutes. i should have walked at that point. (2) the room was small for $400, it was just a standard-sized room. (3) upstairs people decided to jump around all night long, which is their prerogative. if this place was constructed properly, we shouldn't have heard a footstep, but given the cheap construction job and thin walls and ceiling, we heard everything. didn't get a wink of sleep. (4) this is the doozy. the next morning i left the room to go get something from my car, and guess what i was greeted by? a crew of 4 cleaning ladies posted up literally right outside of our door. they were just standing there, with carts at their sides, seemingly waiting for us to check out so they could do their thing and turn the room around. this was at 930 AM, check out was 11 AM. i walked in and out for various reasons 4 times, and they were there all 4 times, and in the way, i might add. i literally had to squeeze in and out. i mean, come on, do you HAVE to wait right outside of our door? it made me feel rushed and uncomfortable to the point where i jokingly said "sorry, we'll be out of here in a sec". that comment was greeted by complete silence. we checked out early just to get out of there. (5) i complained to the front desk before leaving, to which they just said "sorry". after i got back home, i emailed the hotel to tell them what had happened, and the front desk manager, evan harrelson, offered me a free night and upgrade for a future stay. even though i asked for a refund, i suspected they wouldn't part with greenbacks in hand, so i accepted their offer. three weeks later, i have still not received the gift certificate that evan had offered to me. i emailed him asking for a status, and got an auto-responder saying he was out until this past saturday. now it is tuesday and still nothing. talk about fool me twice. EDIT: finally got the certificate, after they read my reviews. this place is not worth the price by any stretch of the imagination (and i have a good imagination). the rip-off price of $400 is set to help subsidize the free time-share visitors, i am sure. steer clear of this place. there are much more better places in the napa valley area for better prices. or, if you enjoy bad experiences and wasting money, then this is the hotel for you. cheers.

Napa Get away
Rooms are nice and comfortable. Parking lot overflow is on the street but a short distance from hotel. Many people brought their own food and stored in rooms. Weather was gorgeous. State parks are not too far.

Beautiful rooms and swimming facilities
Vino Bello is a great place to stay for access to the wine country. The rooms are well appointed, featuring nice decor, luxurious beds, and spacious shower/bath designs. Ideal for romantic weekends or short visits with kids. We went wine tasting and touring during the day and then spent evenings at the swimming area, which is new, clean, and well-suited for everyone in the family. While not the closest lodging to most of the valley, it is within just a few miles of literally dozens if not a hundred or more restaurants in downtown Napa. Driving into the corporate park to get to the hotel is a bit worrisome, but the hotel is insulated from the surrounding buildings and feels reasonable self-contained.

Great hotel; staff lacking
This hotel was very comfortable and the rooms were amazing. The location was very convienent for getting around to all the wineries. The only negative was that the staff (check-in and concierge service) was very poor; bording on incompetent. The concierge gave us directions telling us to take local roads to get to downtown Napa and then got defensive when I asked what the names of these mysterious local roads were. They seemed more interested in the deals that they got for referring people (to either wineries or restaurants) than in actually helping us find what we asked for.

Sightseeing tip:
Short drive from hotel
Wineries. There's not really much nightlife around (restaurants seem to close at 10pm), but after a full day sampling wine, that wasn't really a problem.
