Lodging in the Napa wine country is expensive. The El Bonita Motel is a reasonably priced choice if you can overlook a few things. It is on Highway 29, but the road noise is usually minimal at night. Our room, on the second floor, was unexceptional, however it did have a nice balcony. The TV was as vintage as the... More

This is a Motel that is situated by the two lane busy Main road. The rate integrity is not what they go by as the rate changed to a higher one upon check in after it was confirmed verbally by the reservationist. The local building laws prevent any new construction and the El Bonita enjoys the demand caused by restriction... More

Recently took a class at the Culinary Institute of America. This motel was convenient and clean. The rate was great, the breakfast a disappointment.... but a nice bang for the buck. More

What a super pleasant surprise at $79 in the heart of high dollar establishments! If your looking for the full five star experience, go spend $150 down the road. Budget travelers to the northern California wine country can't go wrong here. The exterior of the hotel makes it seems like you're on route 66 back in the day. The interior... More

There are so many reasons why El Bonita is a good little solid motel. First of all, it has recently been redone and all the rooms are very clean, bright and feel good. The showers have lovely tile work on the floors and huge shower heads. The bathroom (while very tiny) floors are HEATED! You don't find that in any... More

We were pleasantly surprised, given the (relatively) low price! Comofortable, clean rooms, great location. And - the free wireless internet was extremely fast (12 MB / 6 MB)! We will stay here again. More

Three things matter to me when I'm looking for a place to stay on my Napa trips: Location, price, and comfort. Location because at the end of a day of tasting wine, you don't want to be driving very far to your hotel. Price because Napa Valley is a world class destination now, and it can get very pricey! Comfort... More

This motel is a reasonable value for the money. It is somewhat plain with older fixtures. It is more interesting than a chain motel and considering the price of other properties in the area it provides good accommodation. They are doing some remodeling but have left many details unfinished. We had a water leak in the toilet base because it... More

In a very expensive tourist hot spot, El Bonita Motel stands out for its history and price. The location of the motel is excellent as it is located on main street. However, as with most things you get what you pay for. While this hotel is an excellent value and has received good reviews, it is just that a value... More
