The hotel

Set along the banks of the Napa River and surrounded by lush landscapes, this enchanting hotel is perfectly located to sample the delights of the Napa and Sonoma valleys. There are over 250 local wineries and other attractions nearby, just waiting to be discovered. Use one of the complimentary cruiser bikes and head to the bike path at the back of the hotel, maybe heading into downtown Napa for a browse. At the end of the day, dinner at ALBA is sure to delight — relax by a firepit on the moonlit terrace by the river and dine on seasonal local cuisine, accompanied by fantastic Napa Valley wines, naturally.

I booked this hotel for a birthday getaway. I was expecting more since it is a “Traveler’s Choice Award”. I don’t think that I will be trusting Trip Advisor anymore. The best I can say is the hotel is clean, but that’s a pretty low bar. There is no pool or hot tub to relax in. There aren’t even bath tubs in the rooms. The start putting away the cushions on the patio and turning off the fire pits at 8pm, so by 10 the bartender and everyone can walk out the door with the patio effectively closed. The TV in our room didn’t work. The remote was replaced but it stopped working again less than 24 hours later. So no movies to rent, no HBO or premium channels just network television, like in the 1970s. Felt a bit like a prison sentence than a birthday getaway. My daughter said that the hotel ruined the trip. I would have preferred the Best Western. The Westin right next store looked wonderful. I asked why the $35 daily “resort fee” and they said there were 2 fillable filtered water stations. Again a pretty low bar for a resort. Seriously, look elsewhere. Read less

We loved our stay at the River Terrace Inn. It was a special property, located by the river which you could sit on Muskoka chairs with fire pits. The terrace was perfect for chilling out in the morning for breakfast and in the evenings for drinks and empanadas. The heaters and fire pits made sure you stayed warm and comfortable when the temps cooled down. Location was ideal, walking distance to lots of places, restaurants, etc. Service was excellent. The Inn is a perfect size so it felt comfortable, easy to get from room to car and not overcrowded. Would definitely stay here again. Read less
