This motel is a reasonable value for the money. It is somewhat plain with older fixtures. It is more interesting than a chain motel and considering the price of other properties in the area it provides good accommodation. They are doing some remodeling but have left many details unfinished. We had a water leak in the toilet base because it... More

In a very expensive tourist hot spot, El Bonita Motel stands out for its history and price. The location of the motel is excellent as it is located on main street. However, as with most things you get what you pay for. While this hotel is an excellent value and has received good reviews, it is just that a value... More

Everything about this property is excellent, and a great value in expensive North Napa valley---(except), the beds in the pool side rooms are of very inferior quality. You can feel the springs if you press gently on the mattress with your hand. Difficult sleep, woke up with back ache. The worst mattress I have slept on at a hotel/motel. More

St. Helena is a beautiful little town nestled in the heart of the Napa valley. It has become a destination for both domestic and international tourists. Consequently, room rates for hotels, inns, and B&Bs in this area are quite high. El Bonita motel offers a bit of relief from this never ending price escalation. My wife and I stayed here... More

Finally decided to try out El Bonita after having stayed at other places in St. Helena for years. I was plesently surprised/impressed. The motel is very well maintained, the service is excellent, it is priced very well, and the locaiton is pretty good (keeping the price in mind). It's not fancy, but it is clean and simple - and they... More

El Bonita is so wonderfully located in St. Helena. You can actually walk to Tra Vigne, which is a good thing. The pries are unlike any in the area - low to reasonable. If you like clean and serviceable motels, this is among the best. The grounds are great. I'd stay here again. More

I just want to thank you for a great experience. Four of us stayed in your King George Suite. The room was delightful and perfect for us. The large living room gave us space to sit and chat, have coffee and drink some wine. Upon arriving home I found I had left some items in the room. No problem! A... More

Great location - you can walk into St. Helena. Garden view rooms were spacious and quiet. Great price - most Napa Valley lodging is very expensive. If they had drinkable in-room coffee, I would have had no complaints at all. More

Didn't actually stay overnight here. Had a reservation for two nights but when we saw the room, we changed our mind. The outside of the motel is quaint and attractive but rooms were very cheap looking. Furniture and decor looked very old. Staff was very good about refunding our money. More
