Comfy rooms great price and fantastic location
El Bonita is an older property but is updated and very clean and comfortable. Hot tub and sauna were great. Continental breakfast was on par with similar level hotels and motels. Great location in the middle of Napa Valley. Great value, comfortable room, good amenities and good service. Free parking. I’d definitely stay there again and recommend to friends.

A cute simple hotel right in wine country. You can tell this is an older motel, but they have done a really good job of making it quaint and keeping it clean.
