Are we a Napa Hotel? Or a Napa Bed and Breakfast?

Are we a Napa Hotel? Or a Napa Valley Bed and Breakfast?


We talk about this in a video on our website,

but this is a question that comes up often on the phone.


Our answer?


We're a bit of both.


Napa Hotels typically have:


·Rooms with private baths

·Nice beds

·Staff that helps you discover the wine country.


We have those things, too.


Plus a few more:


·A great homestyle gourmet breakfast

·Complimentary tasting passes to wineries

·Private winery pourings in our wine cellar

·FREE wireless internet access

·FREE chocolate chip cookies

·FREE evening chocolate desserts


. . . we could go on and on about the "free" stuff all day.


Thing is, most hotels have little itty-bitty charges for things:


$10 per day for high speed internet

$7.99-14.99 per movie for each movie you watch

$25-40 per day for breakfast for 2 people

$20 per day for 'resort charges'

$5-$20 per day for "energy surcharges" (or "wine flossing", or something that sounds expensive, but you never see). ;)


(total of above: $80 per day, or more)


You get the idea.


We give you all of those things-- and more


. . . at no extra charge.


"Free" (included in your rate).


For us, that's a pretty big difference.


And there are so many others!


What is the difference between a Napa B&B, and a Napa Hotel, for you?
