Our niece is getting married in Napa in August. Any suggestions for a great place to stay? (not Meadowood of Auberge de Soleil - both look fabulous, but looking for something less expensive.)
thanks!
Leslie

We have been to Napa at least once a year for years. Always stay with friends. My suggestion is book asap. Do some internet searching. It somewhat depends on where your niece is getting married. There are several nice places in the St. Helena area. There is Silverrado in Napa itself. In the past 5+ years there has been a lot of room expansion in the Napa Valley area so you should not have too much trouble, but book early.
Sorry could not give more specfic suggestions.

Oh my, we love Napa Valley. I used to have a conference @ Meadowood every Feb. I know it's pricey but everything there is low key & first rate. Silverado may have a good rate. It has a hotel(& condo's) & I believe 2 golf courses. The town of Napa may have something reasonable. Don just said that the Embassy Suites were fine at the south end of Napa. - Michele

I've stayed at a Marriott just outside the town of Napa on the "wine Higway" (Hwy 29???). Anyway, the hotel was a standard Marriott--nothing special, but the rates were reasonable. That was a couple years ago, so it may be some other brand hotel now.

They are getting married at the Sarco Creek Estate, which is near Silverado. I've looked at Silverado so might make a reservation there, although a cute B&B would be better. I've looked at some via tripadvisor.com.
Personally I would love to stay at Meadowood but there is no chance any other members of the family could stay there, plus we will be busy with wedding activities and probably not able to take full advantage of where we stay.

yep..really great hotels. What I love about Harvest Inn is that all the rooms are like private houses and most have names of grape varietals (like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay..cute)some have patios that look out over vineyards which is really wonderful,private and peaceful. Most have fireplaces , something you have never seen in Hawaii I am sure Masaki !!

Leslie - cute picture! Do you happen to know where that photo was taken? It reminds me of a place in Waikiki ...
Claudia - fireplace? Now why would you want a place to keep your fire? We put those things out in Hawaii with fire extinguishers! :D

Just spent New Years in Napa. And if you caught the news, there was major flooding!! We stayed at the Villagio Inn for $250 per night. It was worth twice that! Have stayed at the Napa Valley Lodge and a place in Santa Rosa that is not worth mentioning. The staff at the Villagio made the most of our flooding issues and the rooms with fireplaces were a wonderful respite from the weather. I highly recommend!

I like the Yountville Inn. The rooms are just lovely and they are usually not very expensive.

I have stayed at the Villagio also and loved it. Lunch at Auberge du Soleil is phenomonal if you can swing the time. Almost as good as French Laudry and somewhat easier to get in to.
