Its 53 guest rooms are tidy and comfortable, but dated with worn-out furniture. All units contain AC, flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and mini-fridges, but there are no kettles. Freebies include parking, continental breakfast, and Wi-Fi throughout, and there's also a pleasant heated outdoor pool. Rates are among the cheapest in the notoriously expensive town. Travelers looking for a stay that's a step up who don't mind paying more can consider Best Western Elm House Inn, but there's no pool.

The luxury Carneros Resort and Spa is geared toward high-budget travelers -- it's pricey -- but guests who can afford it will find a sort of homey elegance here. Hillside Adirondack chairs overlook the vineyard. Crackling fireplaces warm every room. Private gardens and tree-lined infinity pools invite guests to relax. The entire resort feels like it's set on a farm, with cottages strewn about that house some of the guest rooms. The rooms are very comfy, with private decks and stone patios surrounded by overgrown greens and a fire pit. They also have outdoor tubs and showers, which is a cool feature. The open bathrooms inside are huge, with walk-in showers and a soaking tub. The property has three restaurants, one of which overlooks the vineyard, a bright and airy yoga studio, a fitness center, a hair salon, and a grocery store called The Market at Town Square.

The Chablis Inn is basically a simple two-level mid-range motor lodge with no frills. The rooms are big and comfortable enough. While it does have a (tiny) pool and perks such as free Wi-Fi, this place is probably better suited as a one-night stopover for wine country visitors than a long-term stay. It's close by to some great wineries, but the hotel itself isn't the type of environment where you'd sit outside with a couple of glasses of wine and relax.

The Best Western Plus Inn at the Vines is a mid-range Napa hotel with more updated decor than one might expect from the chain. Its 69 large rooms have vine-patterned carpets, work desks, microwaves, and coffeemakers. There's an outdoor pool and hot tub, but both are small, and there's neither a restaurant or a bar here (however, breakfast is included for rewards members at the Denny's next door). Its location, at a major intersection, may dampen the wine-country romance, but the rates make it a good-value choice. Those looking for a spot that's walking distance to downtown Napa attractions may consider spending a little more for a stay at the Best Western Plus Elm House Inn.

RiverPointe Napa Valley is a mid-range property with bright, repurposed-mobile-home "cabins" situated in a peaceful spot along the Napa River, about a five-minute drive from downtown. The 104 compact units are nicely equipped with kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, and furnished decks. It's a self-service hotel for slightly longer stays -- there's no restaurant or bar, for example -- but the property has lots of hangout space, such as an outdoor heated pool, hot tub, small sauna, and picnicking areas with barbecues. Nightly events are held in a clubhouse, which sometimes has free wine tastings. Drawbacks include a resort fee, limited housekeeping, and a fee for parking. Guests looking for a more traditional hotel might consider The Inn on First, but it lacks the open space and self-service style of this property.

The lower-middle-range Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Napa Valley offers budget-friendly rates in a location that’s just a short drive from downtown Napa. It’s an older, motel-style property with exterior corridors, but public spaces have been well-maintained. However, while its 60 guest rooms are spacious and have nice amenities including flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, microwaves, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi, they’re rather dark and dated, with worn out furniture. The hotel serves a free hot breakfast in a room with an outdoor patio, and there's also a small indoor pool and fitness center with up-to-date equipment, although the space is cramped. Overall, it’s a good value in what can be a pricey area during peak season. Travelers looking for a stay that's modern and a step up might consider the Best Western Plus Inn at the Vines.

Hotel Indigo Napa Valley is a mid-range, mid-size hotel in the heart of Napa Valley between downtown Napa and vineyard-dotted Yountville. Thanks to 2017 renovations, the lobby, breakfast room, and guest rooms are fresh and contemporary, though decor is standard chain fare. Its 115 rooms are spacious with executive desks, Keurig coffeemakers, mini-fridges, and rainfall showers. On the downside, their thin walls can let in outside noise. The property has a small fitness center and an outdoor pool and hot tub (not included in the renovations), but there's no full-service restaurant or bar, though a buffet breakfast is offered for an extra fee. Those looking for the convenience of on-site dining could compare rates with the nearby Hilton Garden Inn Napa, which has a restaurant -- although decor here is more dated.

The 182-room, Tuscany-inspired Vino Bello Resort borders Napa vineyards and offers two heated pools as well as use of the spa and dining options at the adjacent Meritage Resort. Rooms are large, traditionally furnished condominiums with flat-screen TVs and balconies or patios. The time-share sales pitch guests receive at check-in is a common complaint. To avoid this, another option is the SpringHill Suites Napa Valley.
