Marriott Hotel & Spa Napa

This is the place to stay if you are traveling through CA in particular, the Napa area. It is a place where wine and relaxation come together. The drive up is pretty impressive with the waterfall and all. We were warmly welcomed and had a room on the Concierge wing and had a somewhat private room for our breakfast and other entertainment.
The bed had pillow-top mattresses with these very luxurious down duvets. They were made up like something fit for a king, and at that moment we felt pretty royal. They have high-speed Internet access but you will have to pay extra to use it. We enjoyed sitting at the well-lit work desk and drank some of the wine that was waiting for us in our room. They also give you Bath and Body works soaps, shampoos and lotions. Oranage Ginger is the the scent and I have gone out and bought more at the store. There is premium-channel cable TV and on-command movies which was pleasant, but we found it more exciting to go out rather than stay in.
The in-room coffeemaker with complimentary coffee was really good.

They have all kinds of deals and packages, so check out their website and think you will find yourself heading there for a pampered weekend. Enjoy

Trying to get a room in Napa Valley, especially around the holidays can be tricky. I lucked out at the last minute and got a room here through Priceline for about $100 when everything else in Napa was over $200 a night, especially three weeks before Christmas!

The hotel is conveniently located right off the freeway on Highway 29 closer to downtown Napa. If you are interested in the wineries up in St. Helena and Calistoga, this is much further south but still a very doable drive.

Since it was December, we did not get to partake in the beautiful pool and outdoor grounds. Check with the hotel as they sometimes have wine pairing events in the evening with local wineries which was quite a treat!

When I stayed, Marriott had recently redesigned many of their properties and standard now are down duvet covers and matching pillows. The room was very spacious and tastefully decorated. Although our room faced the parking lot and freeway, we never heard any road noise (although I probably fell right to sleep after wine tasting all day...ha ha).

The only downside we experienced was the lack of parking since they were pretty full and with the rain, we had to run pretty far to get to the main door lobby.
