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.

We had a wonderful stay the the River Terrace Inn! Huge shoutout to V Sanchez at the front desk - always smiling and so gracious!! Our room was awesome- the cutest terrace and warm fireplace- modern touches throughout. We loved how close the property was to downtown- walkable to everything. Thank you again!

My family was welcomed with a "splash of wine," and we also received complimentary soft drinks. We also upgraded our rooms to a Junior King Suite with a balcony and view of the sunrise and Napa River. From our suite, we could see the mountains and hear the birds chirping and singing.

My family was welcomed with a "splash of wine," and we also received complimentary soft drinks. We also upgraded our rooms to a Junior King Suite with a balcony and view of the sunrise and Napa River. From our suite, we could see the mountains and hear the birds chirping and singing. We could walk to the Napa Valley Wine Train, Oxbow Market, and Downtown Napa. The Front Desk staff, especially Pedro, welcomed us and answered all of our questions. We also had a delicious Margherita pizza at the on-site restaurant. Read less

Be careful ⚠️!!! It's been over a month since I stayed at this hotel, and I discovered they started charging my card! I'm still trying to figure it out! We booked a room for two nights but left early. Terrible place, we didn't even want to stay the night we paid for. We booked a room with a river view, but it was a scam. I didn't get the view I paid for! No drinking water, no tea. River Terrace doesn't care about its guests! They're ripping off their guests, so don't be naive and don't fall for their tricks. No free Wi-Fi No TV No water No tea No service I'm under the impression this hotel enjoys ripping off tourists. Read less

I don't recommend this hotel. I booked a room with a river view and good amenities, but I got a completely filthy one with a view of trees.

I don't recommend this hotel. I booked a room with a river view and good amenities, but I got a completely filthy one with a view of trees. The staff was rude, the hotel was dirty, and I didn't enjoy my stay. I left as quickly as possible. For the price they charge per night, you can find another good hotel! Wow! So much worse that reviews give credit. Immediately upon entering the property, staff is cold and off-putting. Checking in is average for a budget property at best. Opening the door to the room - pungent old and unclean smell immediately hits you. The hotel "free" WiFi is non-existent. Fitness center is big enough for two people to stand in, but tiny and missing anything of desire. I would encourage anyone to stay elsewhere. If you are of means, there are numerous nicer places within the same price point close. If you stayed her because of budget... save more money, there are nicer places in better price points. I wish that I could post a sample of the smell of my room for others to understand...... Literally the only positive I can state is the location and free on-site parking. Read less
