Review: Embassy Suites by Hilton Napa Valley

  • Perfect Location: Located smack dab in the middle of the wineries and downtown Napa, right off Highway 29.

  • Congestion Avoidance: The location is perfect for quickly getting out of potential congestion from both the downtown area and the wineries.

  • Suite Layout: Every room is a true suite, featuring a separate walk-in living room and kitchenette, which is ideal for hosting and pre-drinks.

  • Beautiful Courtyard: A lovely outdoor courtyard area featuring ducks and fish in a pretty fountain.

  • Quality Breakfast: Nice size morning breakfast buffet with custom-made eggs, enjoyed under the sun.

  • Elevator Speed: The elevators tend to be a little slow.

  • Initial Layout: The property is large with an outdoor foyer; it can be slightly awkward to navigate on your first trip in.

  • The Spa: The property does not have a comprehensive spa facility.

  • Transportation: Plan to drive to wineries during the day and use rideshare (Uber/Lyft) to downtown for dinner.

In all honesty, this place isn’t a vibe, its a GREAT place to stay to do downtown Napa & the Wineries at a good cost!

Introduction: The Unpretentious Napa Gem

This Embassy Suites by Hilton is located right off the main Highway 29, putting it perfectly in the middle of all the major attractions. I think the first time I came to this hotel was probably 2015, and I’ve stayed here many times over the years. It offers a reliable and comfortable experience that focuses on convenience and space, making it a stellar choice for a quick stay in Napa Valley. My priority when visiting is simple: I’m here to drink wine!

Arrival and Exterior Architecture

Pulling up to the hotel, you definitely get a cool vibe due to the beautiful palm trees out front and the unique, low-slung architecture of this simple Embassy Suites by Hilton. It immediately feels like a retreat, despite being located right near the highway.

The Hotel Layout

Checking in at the front desk is always simple and charming. However, beware that their elevators tend to be a little slow. This is a larger property featuring an outdoor foyer that connects all the rooms, so it is a little awkward to navigate on your very first trip. But once you figure out the lay of the land, it’s super easy to get in and out of. There is plenty of parking surrounding the property, which is a huge convenience in Napa.

Hotel Room: The Essential Napa Suite

All the rooms here are a pretty good size—it is an Embassy Suites, after all, which means every room is inherently larger than a traditional hotel room. Every room features a nice, separate walk-in living room and kitchenette—one of my favorite things about Embassy Suites. This separate space, along with a separate bedroom and bathroom, allows you to host people for pre-drinks or wine tasting before heading out for the evening, all while maintaining privacy in the bedroom area. I’ve never seen anything larger than a traditional suite here, but I really don’t care; the current space is perfect for my needs.

Restaurants Onsite (Including Operating Hours)

The hotel offers a highly recommended dining feature that is essential for starting your day in wine country:

Morning Breakfast Buffet

Full Buffet, Made-to-Order

A nice size breakfast buffet with custom eggs that you can eat under the sun. This is definitely a lovely place to grab breakfast.

Breakfast Service (Typically 6:30 AM – 9:30 AM)

Amenities

Key amenities that truly enhance the stay include:

  • Courtyard Oasis: A beautiful outdoor courtyard area featuring a really pretty fountain with ducks and fish swimming inside. It’s a wonderful place to relax.

  • Complimentary Breakfast: The nice size morning breakfast buffet, complete with custom egg orders, is a huge value.

  • Parking: Plenty of parking surrounding the property, which is crucial for guests driving to the wineries.

Final Closing

Again, my favorite part about this hotel is its perfect location right off the highway. This placement allows you to quickly get out of any possible congestion from the downtown area and keeps you separate from the congestion around the wineries. It’s a perfect spot for Napa! I tend to drive to the wineries during the day and then Uber from the hotel to downtown Napa at night to get food. I highly recommend the Embassy Suites by Hilton Napa Valley for an easy, quality, and convenient stay.
