Review of Embassy Suites Hotel, Napa, CA

We celebrated a birthday with a wine tasting trip ...

We celebrated a birthday with a wine tasting trip to Napa. I enjoyed this hotel as it was close to downtown Napa and took very little time to get to the varies wineries. The hotel is 3 levels with a nice courtyard in the middle. The suites were spacious and each had a separate living room and bedroom. The included amenities were: small refrigerator, microwave, pull out sofa, safe in the bedroom, hair dryer, TV with cable, and a small sink and bar in living room area. The bedroom and bathrooms were a good size and I felt both offered good space.

An additional benefit was the complimentary breakfast the hotel provides each morning. The breakfast offers cereal, bagels, fruit, and juice/coffee, along with hot options (omelettes, potatoes, bacon, sausage). Another added bonus was the manager's reception in which you can have complimentary adult beverages from 5:30 - 7:30pm.

The only negative I found was the a/c and heating units. The hotel sets the mode for the entire property. The options are Cool, Neutral, and Heat. If the hotel is in Cool, you can only use A/C to cool down your unit; Neutral means nothing happens; and Heat means you can only heat up your unit. This seriously limited the ability to control your room's temperature. I've never stayed at a hotel that had this system and I was not a fan of it.

Overall, I enjoyed the hotel and the positives outweigh the negatives. I would stay here again even with the lack of ability to control room temperature.
