Description: Cozier than a motel, more private than a bed & breakfast, the Elm House combines the best of both worlds. From the outside, it looks like a large, square Victorian mansion-house. Inside, the rooms open onto a corridor that surrounds the 2-story high great room, which has comfy sofas and a large stone fireplace. There is a hot tub in a patio outside (though I''ve never seen anyone using it).
Breakfast, included in the price, is served on one side of the great room and includes pastries, bagels and English muffins, cold cereals, oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt and a selection of juices and hot beverages. Cookies are set out to serve yourself in the afternoon. The rooms are standard motel-size, but have better furnishings that the usual chain motel, I especially like the shaggy, home-style bathmats. Each room has a mini-fridge, wine glasses and corkscrew. The beds (king or queen) are comfortable. Parking is available in two small lots on each side of the building. This is a completely non-smoking motel. The reception staff is friendly and helpful, eager to recommend places to see and eat.
Reserve early, as this place is popular and books up, especially on weekends. It is our first choice of where to stay in Napa.
