Southbridge Napa Valley

My husband and I and another couple traveled to the Napa valley to have dinner at The French Laundry. We looked at several hotels all around the area but since this was not only a holiday weekend but also a large music festival weekend, there were not a ton of options. We selected Southbridge based on location, mostly, but I noticed it was almost double what I paid the last time I spent a weekend in Napa where I stayed downtown in a gorgeous hotel with a fireplace on the balcony, a poster bed, and a gigantic bathroom with a huge tub. Southbridge was clean, the staff was very nice and friendly, housekeeping was done promptly, and it was reasonably comfortable. That's the same thing I can say for a midlevel corporate hotel at a third of the price. The room was just tired and showed wear. The pocket door (which I hate for bathrooms) did not close all the way which afforded absolutely no privacy. The vanity was tiny and my husband and I had to store our bathroom items under the sink. Even the shampoo samples were tiny and barely enough for both of us to shower. There was a very small area with a Keurig type coffee maker and an old undercounter (not built in) fridge that ran loudly. There was some kind of hum from something in the ceiling the whole time and you should know the train honks at an early hour passing by. Overall, I was super unimpressed and sick about how much we spent for what was an utterly forgettable stay. I checked the other hotel on a non-holiday weekend against Southbridge and it is considerably less for a gorgeous room downtown. Cute location but consider all your options.

Great hotel! Very convenient to restaurants and shopping. The staff was very attentive to our needs. There’s a great spa /gym onsite and breakfast is delivered to your room. Large bath and bedrooms. Our stay was for 4 nights and we didn’t have an issue
