Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nice rooms, amenities, and great breakfast, but parking and communication lacked. We booked the private cottage in the rear of the property, but without a designated parking space, we were forced to park on the street for the weekend. The day we arrived, it took three messages to get a call back to learn how to check in after hours. Overall, nice place, but missing some of the little touches to be a five star property.

I was comfortable until breakfast when I was asked to give more.money then I was asked to give. I also am hungry with bad meat from these hospitalityworkers and around noon the door to my private cottage was Rudly broken into and I was shamed for two older brownasianwomen and poor attitude to guests who are unwelcome to use their own property when being bushedinbruised ywormioinaniglikeyoungjockinindioandtwanwongvernimandblacktull. Twobrownasianwomen who break-in to private cottage and oneoverchargedwhitewomanonherownpropertyinprivatecottage. Guest list should reflect who's invited to live in USA and who owns which properties.

We stayed 2 nights, the check in process was a little stilted as I had not received the text with the electronic codes to the bedroom door. That aside the room was 2 double bedrooms with a shared bathroom between them. It was great. Both rooms were identical, clean and spacious. It is a very old building and you could hear the people above moving around, but I find if you turn the aircon unit fan on it they do drown out those background sounds. Breakfast was very good, day one was baked eggs with bacon crumble, fresh fruit and juices on the table. The downside was there was a lady who was vegetarian and she was not asked and therefore did not eat hers. There is pump coffee and a water chiller that makes hot water. Day 2 was french toast, fantastic! The rooms do not have coffee making facilities, out building had a kitchen on the 2nd floor with a large fridge you could use, bags of ice ( ice machine bit was broken), a water chill unit, which did could make hot water but did not dispense it, I used the microwave to heat water. Plenty of ground coffee and tea, though not sure how long the coffee had been ground and put in the press pots. We were given 2 bottles of complimentary wine, which was a nice touch, the promised nightly firepit does not happen, no evidence its been used for a long long while. You can walk into downtown easily in 5-7 minutes and always felt safe. Everywhere in Napa is so expensive, this Inn was a lot of $ but in line with what was available etc, with free parking. Would I stay here again? Yes

We checked in and the room smelled horrible. We opened all the windows even though it was very cold outside. We hoped that it would clear out the smell (a combination of air freshener? and obviously someone had *used* our bathroom right before we checked in. It didn't change. We texted the manager and they said to open the windows for a while. We had already done that and the chemical/human smell was so bad our eyes were watering and throats closing up. We left half an hour after checking in and had to rent another room around the corner. They refused to refund our money and were quite rude. With all the options in Napa, I would highly recommend staying ANYWHERE else. The manager insisted that we should have asked them for another room, but how could you expect that if they allowed one room to smell that way that they wouldn't keep the entire property in such condition? Additionally, the manager was not onsite and was very slow responding to messages. It was a terrible experience.

We stayed in the Paris room and loved it. All the rooms are themed and completely different from one another, which makes this a really interesting stay. Breakfast each morning was great and staff are friendly and accessible. Pictures on website are old and can definitely use some updating. It’s an old building, luckily we were at the end of the hall, so it wasn’t so loud, but if we were near the stairs, it would have been more challenging. Would stay here again for sure.

Was a quaint B & B for our stay after visiting the Napa wineries. Rooms were cute, comfortable & well stocked and the breakfast was amazing. Was close enough to walk to downtown to eat at the restaurants or shops.

An international traveler and our four days stay at HARVEST SUITE in 2nd floor MERLO HOUSE was comfortable with some delicious breakfast . However had WIFI issues and stayed disconnected which affected my online studies and dental practice .

We stayed in Chocolate, lovely room, spacious, old world charm, cast iron bathtub & they really thought about as they have placed a mirror on the door so you can still watch TV whilst in the tub. Ice water Tea and coffee and snacks are provided and there is a fridge/microwave downstairs that you can use. Its a really lovely building, lots of character and charm, close to everything Napa has. I understand with Covid that minimising contact is probably a good thing, checkin is done text on the phone, however I am from the UK so my phone number didn't work in the US (roaming charges are high) so I didn't get the details(they weren't to know). It also makes it a bit impersonal we knew nothing about the room, breakfast details or the surrounding area, there was nothing left in the room to inform us about this. As for breakfast it was nice but the 1st day we weren't informed as to what it was and I am vegetarian and eggs Benedict with ham was just placed in front of me, also what if we were of a religion that didn't eat ham? The coffee and tea were cold and the other guests didn't get there juice until about 30 mins after they sat down. I don't like meat so thats why I don't eat it but if it was for ethical reasons then this would have been a real problem, The next day was better and we were told what was for breakfast but when you do this every day then you really should have a system where this does not happen in the first place. I would probably give it 4.5 stars and I would stay again

The couple that runs the day to day operations were just delightful. We checked in, got a tour to our room. It was all the way at the top of the Merlot house. The buildings are older, so the floors squeak and the water takes awhile to warm up, but it's charming. The room itself had a lot of space. We stayed in the Walk in the Clouds rooms. It was adorable. I loved that it had 2 king beds. They have a shared kitchen space a floor down. People are free to use the refrigerator, the microwave and any other amenities. In the morning, we were lucky enough to get breakfast, which is a service they just started trying out. It was really good and a perfect portion size. The location was a short walk to downtown Napa where there was a walk of restaurants and shops. Great location and parking on sight. Great stay over all
