The Napa Valley Marriott is undergoing a masive recontruction job, slated to be completed in the fall 2001. They have refurbished one side of the building and are building an entire new wing of "executive" rooms with a spa. Because of the construction, rates are lower than usual. (Our room was $99.) Fortunately, the construction noises were not a problem, even during the week. There is a small but well-equipped gym available. Our room had been freshly decorated, with a very nice stuffed chair and ottoman and a desk and office-type desk chair. The comforter on the bed was actually functional, not just decorative, and the blanket was not one of those plastic-like plush things so common in motels. There is an internet connection (at $9.95/day), hair dryer, coffeemaker with coffee AND tea and iron and ironing board. A complimentary copy of USA Today appeared just outside the door each morning. That''s the good news. The bad news was that the bed was uncomfortably soft (but not saggy) and even though it was a non-smoking room, the mattress and pillows absolutely reeked of smoke. I just don''t understand hotels that think simply putting a no-smoking sign in a room turns a smoking room into a no-smoking room! For this reason, I must call it only "somewhat recommended."

Average at best. We tried to save some money and used Priceline to book our hotel room. At first we were excited to be booked in a Marriott but upon our arrival we saw what else Napa Valley had to offer. There are the most amazing B&B's and Inns everywhere. All of which were charming and unique, unlike the Marriott which was a 2 level walk up next to the highway. Still, it was clean and the staff was very courteous and helpful.
