Great place to stay in Napa. Directly behind the Rutherford Grill, and BV winery you can walk to dinner if you are too tired to drive anywhere. Fireplaces in the rooms (REAL ones!) and comfy beds. We've stayed here twice. Rooms are clean and although it is an older hotel, it has lots of history. Good value for the $$.
They could do better on their 'breakfasts' now that they have a restaurant. We tried to get a booking for dinner but they were full, but we'll try again next time! There were some chefs staying at the hotel while we were there for some sort of event and they were a bit noisy in the very early morning and late night hours.

Very quaint, great location, reasonable rates. Definitely coming back.

I stayed at this Inn with my 90 year old mother. We had a fabulous stay. At first they were going to put us in Room 101. Since we were going to be hanging out in the room quite a bit, a patio overlooking a blacktop parking lot and a window view of the resturaunt was not going to cut it. I went back to the lobby and the woman behind the counter was all over it. She upgraded us to the second floor, which made all the difference. Our private patio did not have a great view (someone's back yard garden) but it was pleasant. Our view out the front window was of the lovely courtyard trees. The rooms are so cozy, with wood beams, tile accents and a gorgeous stained glass in the shower. In the evening we sat out in front of our room, sipping wine and chatting to the bubbly sounds coming from the courtyard. The location is wonderful - an easy trip into St. Helana for shopping, and be sure to walk and eat at the Rutherford Grill. They also do take-out and are considered to be a local favorite. We found the front desk to be quiet helpful and I like going into the lobby to hand select a DVD for viewing in the room. All in all it was enjoyable.

However, if we had stayed in room 101, I think I would have had an entirely different experience. So...stay here, enjoy the non-sterile and unique experience of staying at an Inn, but grill the front desk on which room you are booking. Make sure you do not have a room overlooking the parking lot, and that you have a full view of the courtyard out your window. We enjoyed the second floor, but the first would have been okay too.

My husband and I stayed at Rancho Caymus for three nights, along with some friends. The location is great - close to wineries, down the street from Rutherford Grill, etc. As mentioned in previous posts, the rooms could be updated...but they are very clean and I liked the fact they are a little "rustic". It's not The Ritz, but you're not paying those prices either. We stayed upstairs in a king suite. It was too hot to use the fireplace, but that would be nice. The courtyard outside was great; we would meet for "happy hour" every night before dinner after a quick trip to Dean and Deluca's down the street.
