The property is an older motel that is well maintained and clean. It's not luxurious or fashionable, there's no bar or restaurant obviously, but it was clean, comfortable and convenient. It's a 5 or 10 minute walk to the great restaurants and bars in St. Helena, which is its strongest feature. It's also one of the more affordable, relative to its neighbors during high season. So it attracts bargain hunters. The person above us stomped back and forth in their room nonstop for hours. There were some partiers down the hall somewhere who laughed like banshees until 3 in the morning. We brought ear plugs and survived. The desk people are great, the continental breakfast is adequate, with good coffee. The grounds are immaculate, plenty of convenient parking. I doubt we'll return, but other than a few rude guests, it's a good place and affordable - relatively.

We will come back!

This motel was perfect for our stay. The rooms were clean, and the employees were all very friendly. The breakfast selection was not very big but everything that they offered was high quality and delicious. I was very impressed, and I would love to come back when we are in the area again.

Good hotel

Good place to stay - close to wineries, restaurants and shops. The hotel also allows pets and have a nice “grassy” area for them that includes dog bags. As others mentioned, the breakfast had fresh fruit and cereal.

Noisy neighbors both nights…. Not the properties fault. They are doing remodel work, that should have been mentioned in the booking. Overall the minor construction was pretty quiet.

Comfy rooms great price and fantastic location

El Bonita is an older property but is updated and very clean and comfortable. Hot tub and sauna were great. Continental breakfast was on par with similar level hotels and motels. Great location in the middle of Napa Valley. Great value, comfortable room, good amenities and good service. Free parking. I’d definitely stay there again and recommend to friends.

This was great for a small dog. Nice patch of grass directly outside of rooms, easily accessible. Very quiet. Good continental breakfast with fresh donuts, fruit, cereal, and coffee. Can't beat the location either.
