    The only issue was that the water was filled with rust and we couldn't shower. Luckily there were two small bottles of water so we could brush our teeth. The owner was wonderful. We didn't bother her with it the next day as it clearly wasn't her fault. However, for the price, we would have liked to have known in advance.

    Mary was fantastic! We loved our stay. Very cute and central hotel.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    This hotel is absolutely beautiful. Has a lot of history. Mary, the owner, is beyond accommodating, and so wonderful to work with. We enjoyed our stay here, and when we go back to Napa, will certainly stay here again.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    This is such a cute hotel right on Main Street. Mary is AMAZING. Anything you need (including recommendations), have questions about, etc. she will help. Cannot wait to come back.

    The street noise, part of the ceiling fell full of water during the rain in the upstairs living room area, right next to us. We called the staff and let them know, but there was no immediate reaction. Small twin size beds. Dated bathrooms.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Great location and cute boutique old-timey hotel. We were in a room that faced Main St and the noise level was off the charts. The single paned windows did nothing to block out of the constant whoosh of traffic all night and while the karaoke bar stopped at 1am, we were ready to be asleep way earlier than that.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The historical decor. Mary is a sweetheart. The hotel is within steps of many shops and eateries. I will absolutely go back.

    We love that the rooms were very clean & comfortable . A little on the small size. The owner operates the hotel and she’s very friendly and helpful. She asked us if there was anything we needed several times. She also shared with us the very interesting history of the hotel built in 1883. There is no coffee/tea in the room, but the hostess provides delicious coffee in the lobby. You can have a cappuccino or a latte or a fresh brewed regular coffee. The location is Ideal. Its sets on the Main Street of downtown Saint Helena amongst all the beautiful galleries and shops. The small café next-door serves a delicious breakfast. They were also in the middle of setting up a wine tasting room as well.

    It is an old property that needs further refurbishment. We waited five minutes at check in and finally called for service. Office was closed at 8:45am when when departed. We had to leave the key in our room. One bottle of water in the room otherwise no amenities, coffee or tea, refrigerator, bottle opener. I'd expect more for the rate. They did have two wine glasses. Our garden view looked at roofs. If you leaned over you could see umbrellas below. Second floor walk up. The rooms were just old and very small and not consistent with the more historic and lavish downstairs. Felt like we were in a more threadbare former servants hall. No control of airflow in the room. Outlets were hard to use as the plate stuck out preventing secure seating of the plug in the receptacle. Super noisy bathroom fan which was the only functional light in the bathroom. Insufficient for the standards of the community and the rate.

    The rooms are very dated. There are few outlets to charge your devices. No live TV service, only the streaming services you log into. My room overlooked a busy street and it was very loud throughout the night. There is a window over the room door that allows light from the hallway. It’s way too bright to sleep.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    First, they have an overhead window which cannot be shielded from the light in the hallway meaning that there is always something shining in my face. Second, the grounds need some serious attention, third, general fixtures on the wall, such as the unrepaired window shades, seem to indicate that this establishment needs some serious Capital improvement.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    My room was cozy and comfortable, The hotel has just reopened after a closure for restoration; preserving its original glory while bringing it into the 21st century . This location is right on Main Street in St. Helena, walking distance to great restaurants, boutique shops, and wine tasting rooms. Other thoughtful touches include a small garden seating area and a vintage style bar serving local wines. As an historic Napa Valley hotel with personality, prime location, and friendly hosts, the Hotel St. Helena is a solid and charming choice.

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    The hotelier Mary is a pure delight. Renovations are nearly complete and the hotel is a hidden European inspired gem. I will be back here every time I’m in Napa to enjoy our new friends.

  • Engine customer Oct 2019

    Very small rooms, dirty sheets that did not fit or stay on the bed,everything was outdated. No where near the 3 star rating it boasted. Way too expensive for what it was!

  • Engine customer Sep 2019

    The hotel was filthy. Our rooms were so dirty my sister left immediately. I had allergic reaction to all the mold. There was no closet or even a bar to hang any clothes. The communal bathroom was disgusting. No one ever cleaned it while we were there. The
