    Rooms were nice and clean not deep cleaned but clean the bathroom same. Staff was excellent and very helpful. Breakfast was perfect a lot better than most 5 star hotels and their wine happy hour was the best, got to wet awesome people. The parking is not enough spaces with only 8 in the back and so I had to park in t be front, luckily area seem to be very safe.

    Innkeeper Dolly was a wonderful host. Self check in went smoothly and we really enjoyed our time in the Inn. There is a beautiful patio to hand out. They even had a complimentary wine social on Friday afternoon which was nice.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Dolly was an excellent host. She made us feel very welcome. I also liked the outdoor seating in the back. It was very relaxing. The location was ideal and was in walking distance to the center of town. The name of the place was not clear so was a little confusing when we arrived. Booking.com called it Cabernet House, but when we arrived, we couldn't find the place with the name. Later we were told the name had changed to The Charles. The bed mattresses were a little soft too.

    The breakfast is not only delicious but also a memorable experience. Guests gather around shared tables, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere where you get to meet and connect with other travelers. The value is incredible, especially considering everything that’s included. The shared living and dining rooms are beautiful, inviting spaces to relax, and the guest rooms are lovely. The beds are exceptionally comfortable, making for a great night’s sleep. This is, without a doubt, where I want to stay every time I visit Napa. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

    Dolly was amazing

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The buildings and surrounding property were beautiful. Breakfast and wine/appetizers were outstanding! By far the best part was Dolly our host. She was warm, friendly, helpful and made us feel so welcomed! Our room’s wall finishing was odd.

    Excellent place to stay in downtown Napa! Nothing

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The location is great, walking distance from downtown restaurants and shopping. The staff is very welcoming and they will also provide a nice kitchen cooked breakfast in the morning. The rooms are beautiful, clean and quaint and each one is different than the next. There’s a private parking lot but also easy and ample street parking if it fills up. Hard to think of any negatives.

    We were in the barrel room which was lovely! We were doing a quick trip to Napa from the bay and wanted a comfortable, no-frills room for the night so we wouldn't have to drive home the same day. This suite exceeded our expectations by a mile! The king suite with the connecting bathroom is perfect for two couples for a Napa weekend. We will definitely be back!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Charming accommodations in the suites with large bedrooms. The staff is outstanding, the location ideal in the heart of Napa, and breakfast was incredible and included in the price. Will definitely return!

    The hot water in the shower was luke warm. We probably should have said something at the time, but we needed to get going. Everything else was just perfect. It was a beautiful place to stay.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Parking was cramped.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Breakfast was decent and the social hour was nice. We stayed in Walk in the Clouds and it’s more like a walk in the light. The room has so much light pouring in all night. And the traffic noise was pretty bad if you’re sleeping in the room near the main road. The parking is very cramped and the driveway to get in is small. If you’re not careful you will miss it.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Our stay was perfect. The rooms were clean and quaint. The staff were kind and attentive. Breakfast was delicious. Shopping within walking distance. The Friday evening wine and Hors d'oeuvres gathering was wonderful!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was good. The shower curtain did not contain the water and therefore water got all over the floor.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Quaint and pretty Almost no service- we had an early departure - I thought there would be coffee in the kitchen- there wasn’t- I didn’t see any coffee maker that I could use- there was not a soul around- We left without any coffee.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Adorable place and the staff were wonderful! We will definitely return to this place. Cute happy hour, good coffee and easy parking.
