Great location and staff. We walked to dinner, theatre, and the gym all from this adorable hotel. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I had an AMAZING stay here. We were treating ourselves to a "staycation" in St Helena and couldn't have been more impressed. Mark, the proprietor, and his team were great to work with. The staff was friendly, rooms clean and well stocked. The decor is very modern and warm and the location in St Helena is awesome! I arranged for flowers to be in the room for my wife's birthday and they provided a beautiful arrangement and a hand written note. Nice touch! Highly recommend!! read more

We spent 6 nights at Wydown during our trip to Napa. The hotel is beautiful, and the staff is knowledgable and friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable. The only thing I would change is the layout. We were in room 5 and the TV was on the dresser and not hanging on wall opposite the bed. For both of us to watch while lying in bed, we had to roll on sides or turns heads - which really did start to bug us after a while. The other thing was the pillows. To be fair, I never asked if they had an alternative, and they were not terrible, but they could have been better. We had a room with access for the open area shared between middle rooms. It was nice to step outside, but we never really used it. The neighborhood of St. Helena is wonderful. Each morning, we would walk through the streets of the little town and enjoy coffee at their local shop. The town is quiet and the locals are welcoming to the visitors. Overall, I would recommend the hotel. If we go back, we would not hesitate to book a room there again. read more

Wydown Hotel - The TV in on the dresser, not near foot of bed, but that was the only negative. - Hotels Near Me - St. Helena, California

See all

I want to say this hotel has the most incredible service. Haley and Brittany are outstanding! I have never in my life been more impressed than my recent experience at the Wydown. I highly recommend this hotel. read more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Wydown. In particular I appreciated that they didn't have a minimum stay since we were splitting our weekend between Napa and SF. And the decor was so tasteful and current without feeling trendy. Whoever put the place together clearly appreciates quality and style. Kind of an oasis in a sea of B&B's with lace doilies and grandma quilts... It didn't bother us that there was no food available on premises since they are right in the heart of St. Helena and Archetype (also incredible) is right across the street for an amazing meal or a late night glass of wine. For breakfast, we ran down to Dean and Deluca for the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. It was kind of perfect! read more

This is a lovely hotel. However, for the price we paid, I can only say it was OK. For the price, I was expected to be blown away (2 nights were over $900). For that price, I expected a few more amenities. However, first let me say that the staff is amazing and very friendlly. The room was beautifully appointed and very clean. It was quiet MOST of the time, but agree with other reviews that at times folks walking up and down the hardwood hallways (beautiful flooring by the way) will actually wake you out of a sound sleep, especially early in the morning. Now to the cons: My biggest complaint about our room ((#7) is there is a skylight in the room over the bed! No kidding...so here in the middle of summer, the sun comes up about 5:30 a.m. and the room lights up like a circus. If you are sensitive to needing a darker room to sleep like me, make sure you know and ask UP FRONT about one of the rooms without a skylight. If anyone had forewarned us about this we would certainly have asked. Another negative about the sleep experience is the hotel could afford to invest in better pillows. My husband & I both struggled with the pillow comfort. The choices were either extremely soft (flat like a pancake) or so stiff they did not move, probably more geared towards a sham than a sleeping pillow. And finally, I agree with Leslie K. in that there was just something missing. We left saying "eh...it was OK". Although we were given a couple of free water bottles during our stay and a coupon for coffee in the a.m., there was NOTHING else offered as far as food or beverage. Some other reviews mentioned some fruit or granola bars in the a.m., but that does not exist that we could find. There is not even a basket of apples sitting around anywhere, which I see at all of the hotels throughout wine country. I'm not saying an apple is a breakfast substitue, but there is no food or drink in the hotel except for a water cooler and a tea service. Very lacking, again, for the price. We stayed at a different hotel in the area last year for about the same price, and upon check-in, there was a bottle of wine in our room (free), waters (free all day), a BEAUTIFUL full FREE breakfast (hot & cold), a 2-room suite with an outdoor patio, a pool, an on-site bar and beautiful property overall. Also, it was my birthday, and a birthday pastry was put in our room during our stay. I don't think Wydown knew it was my BD, but if they did there was no mention of it (My husband thought he told them when he booked). So I have to say that as far aw Wydown, we will go back to the other hotel next visit. read more

So my wife and I had heard of this newly remodeled hotel in St. Helena, ca. . We decided because of its close proximity to downtown and restaurants we would book a room there. The place was clean, friendly and most of all good rates. The decor was modern and hip. The beds were very comfortable and the cleaning staff was awesome. I would look at this to a option of expensive Yountville to stay as it's very close and a great downtown location. read more

Excellent hotel. Excellent location. I came here with a friend for a getaway. The staff is very friendly. The hotel is in the heart of St Helena and you are walking distance from great restaurants and cute little shops. The hotel came with a bottle of wine which I am starting to notice is very common in Napa Valley. The space was clean and modern. This hotel is on the newer side. I will be back! read more

My wife and I just spent our first anniversary here. Great hotel. Spacious and comfortable with covered parking in back. Carol, the manager (I guess) was wonderful. When it turned out my request for flowers fell through the cracks upon our arrival, she apologized profusely and said it would be a tough one on President's Day to make happen. But, when we returned from dinner, lo and behold, there they were on the bedside table. No idea how she pulled that one off! We'll go back ASAP. read more

I got married in St. Helena over Labor Day Weekend and Wydown Hotel was a fabulous find to accommodate a number of our guests including my now husband and I (we loved room #10). We all really enjoyed our stay and had the best time all being under one roof. Back in December of last year, we were so fortunate to be able to hold all twelve rooms and we filled all of them. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, especially Lisa E. who we were in touch with from the very beginning. The staff kindly placed the Welcome Bags we had put together in all of our guests' rooms and put out orange juice and muffins each morning. We cannot wait to return for another stay!! read more

excellent service provides complementary juices and more comfortable rooms very good experience overall! read more

We stayed here in April 2016. The Wydown is gorgeous & clean with a modern/eclectic aesthetic. Check-in & check out was easy. Our room and bathroom were good-sized, clean, nicely decorated. We could hear people walking down the hallway, but we couldn't hear talking or doors slamming in other rooms so it gave us a feeling of peace, quiet and privacy. The bed was ok but the pillows gave us neck aches. You know the feather pillows that your head falls through like it's a cotton ball? Yeah, those kind of feather pillows. The continental breakfast was nice. Good to fill up on healthy foods before a full day of wine tasting. The location is perfect. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants in downtown St. Helena. I would definitely stay here again. read more

Although situated on the busy Napa Valley Main Street road, this hotel is a great find. Love the contemporary (but not too modern) furnishings, the friendly hotel staff and the complimentary breakfast with yogurt, pastries, granola and yummy English muffins from Model Bakery down the street makes for a perfect stay. Free guest parking in the back of the hotel, complimentary beverages in the room including a Nespresso coffee machine made this a very comfortable place to stay in Napa. read more

This was a fantastic place. We got this on a discount deal and a few of us decided to head up north and make a weekend of St. Helena. It was perfect. Lovely room in a great setting. read more

Unbelievable time at the wydown. Carol and josh were amazing. So many great restaurants within walking distance and wineries right down the street. Within ten minutes of checking in we received a call to make sure everything was up to our liking. What amazing customer service!! Next time I am back in st Helena I am staying in one place only. Thank you so much for everything. read more

We stayed here one night for a child-free getaway to celebrate our anniversary. Overall, we were pleased with our experience and would definitely consider returning. The hotel has a great location on Main Street (just a short 5 minute drive from Meadowood!). It offered a spacious room, comfortable bed made up with Frette linens and a cozy down comforter, and nice amenities (e.g., mini-fridge stocked with complimentary bottles of water and sparkling Izze juices, Nespresso espresso maker, L'Occitane toiletries, and free strong wi-fi). We also received a complimentary half bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary. Note that we did not get any coupons for wine tasting or coffee, which some other Yelpers mentioned. The front desk did mention complimentary access to a spa/gym nearby (with extra charges for spa services) but we were in town to eat and nap, not do wine tastings or work out. We stumbled upon the parking lot by accident, as we accidentally drove by the place coming down Main Street (I never saw it despite GPS saying we were here!) and then we went around the block. The phone call from the front desk confirming our stay never mentioned the hotel parking lot is accessible only from Railroad Ave. That would have been a helpful tip. She did offer to help with restaurant recommendations but we had already booked Meadowood and Auberge du Soleil, so we didn't need help with dining options. We had room 7, which was on the "quiet" side of the building, away from Main Street. It is the first room when you exit the elevator/walk up the stairwell. I liked that there was no one above us (heavy stompers or running kids have kept us awake in other hotels), but we did hear every single person walking by the room because of the uncarpeted hardwood floor in the hallway. My husband griped that it sounded like a herd of cows whenever women with high heels clomped by our room. Guests pulling roller suitcases also made a huge racket. Thank goodness "sleeping in" means 7 am for us, as I would have been very annoyed to have been woken up by foot traffic outside our door. I mentioned this issue to the front desk when we checked out when asked how our stay was. The staffer apologized, acknowledging that the owner really loves the floors but that a runner would help dampen the noise. Yet I see another Yelper mentioned this in 2014 and nothing has changed. This was my biggest complaint and kept me from rating this 5 stars. It's also the reason why I might hesitate before staying here again. But for that noise, we did enjoy our experience. I liked the layout of the room, which included some lovely high end furniture options (which the hotel website mentions is from the owner's friend's furniture gallery in Seattle). The mirrored armoire had bathrobes and slippers and plenty of room to hang up some outfits, the large table to the right of the TV was great as I like to unpack my purse/luggage and spread stuff out, and the flat screen TV sat on a chest of drawers for additional storage. There was also an upholstered armchair and lovely leather nightstands. It's a peaceful yet interesting aesthetic. The other minor complaint is that our room had a random skylight above the bed, closer to the left side of the bed (when you're lying in it), which is my side of the bed. My husband joked about duct taping a towel to cover it up, as he prefers a pitch black room for sleeping. I still managed to sleep until 7 am, as I made sure to face the right side of the room and block some of the sunlight with a pillow. The bathroom was renovated beautifully, with subway tile and Restoration Hardware fixtures, as well as a showerhead with strong water pressure. I wish it had a tub, but this bathroom was still far nicer than the B&B we stayed in last year. We did not spend any time in the lobby, though I did stop for some water from the water dispenser placed on a console table in the lobby by the stairwell. All in all, this price point is higher than I usually pay for a hotel room ($395 plus tax, so we paid $450 out the door for a Friday night in June). However, it's St. Helena so it's unlikely one can find accommodations for under $300 on a summer weekend. I'm still glad we stayed here as it's a more luxurious and more pleasant experience than the St. Helena B&B we stayed at last summer. read more

Love this place. It's a little slice of heaven. Rooms are ultra comfortable with beautiful, modern decor. Front deck staff is friendly and very knowledgable about things to do in Napa Highly recommend. read more

Really great hotel. Only 12 rooms so you need to plan ahead. Recently renovated -- looks amazing and smells new. Owner is present and really nice guy -- Mark Hoffmeister. Perfectly located on main street and easy drive to great restaurants. I will definitely stay again. read more

I recently got married on 4th of July in St. Helena. In order to allow all of the guests stay close by to one another, I set up a block of rooms at several hotels in the area. Wydown Hotel was incredibly accommodating and so wonderful to work with. While I didn't stay there myself, many guests raved about the hotel. It was chic, beautiful, & the service was great. read more

Awesome find! Modern, clean, quiet hotel with great amenities... continental breakfast, afternoon cookies and milk, umbrellas if it's raining, tea in the afternoon. Feels like you are home. Can walk to wineries, bars, art galleries, shops, and great restaurants. Highly recommend! read more

Great location and knowledgeable helpful staff! Room with one king and a sleeper chair worked out great for us three. Bathroom super clean with great products. Espresso fabulous as was the location. The most amazing thing about the Wydom was that they sent us a scarf we had found on the property months after our stay. They kept it in case someone claimed it and promised to mail it to us if no one did! We thought we'd never see it again but they made good on their promise and my daughter who'd found it was thrilled. You can walk to great restaurants and eat and drink to your heart's content without having to drive back to the hotel. My daughter mentioned the skylight over the bed waking her up so you should be selective if you are light sensitive when you choose a room. Haven't visited since the entrance remodel but hotel is elegant, tasteful and uncluttered so I imagine it is a great addition to the space. read more

If I had to choose a place to "wydown" it would be here. This is my favorite place to stay in St. Helena. It's right on Main St. in the quaint downtown with access to whatever you need. Love the ambiance and feel of this place. Definitely recommend checking it out. read more

A very solid four stars and the hotel is very creative with filling out their scorecard. There is no gym and spa, but guests are given access to a nice facility about a mile up the road. Also, off street, covered parking behind the hotel is swell. This is especially true if you have wine in your trunk. read more

Wine Country flare. The Wydown Hotel is where you park your car (private covered lot) unpack your things, then stroll along St. Helena's famous Main Street. Need to buy gifts, you'll find them, incredible dining, you'll find that, morning brunch, you'll find that too, all within two blocks of this perfectly positioned hotel. The rooms are very spacious and luxurious and the bed is so comfy you'll never want to leave. The front desk staff is so kind and they know everything about Wine Country so ask them anything! My husband's and my only regret was that we didn't stay longer to linger in this luxury. Give yourself a treat and book an extra night! read more

Fabulous. Nice, quiet, cool, cozy, and unpretentious. We recently celebrated our anniversary here and it could not have been better. Cannot think of anything bad to say except that I wish we could have stayed longer. read more

Loved it! Right up my alley as I prefer small, boutique hotels to big hotels. It was quiet and the rooms were comfortable although we spent most of our time out and about at wineries and restaurants. There are some great places within walking distance. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating! We will be referring this place to friends and will be back ourselves! read more

Quaint renovated hotel in the heart of St. Helena. The hotel has large rooms, huge bathrooms and sleep space. Lisa was awesome - she suggested wineries I should visit and then made the appointments and even found a driver to take us around Napa. The hotel doesnt offer much in terms of ammenties but if you are looking for a new clean place to crash while in St. Helena/ Napa Valley this is the place. The price is very reasonable, they give you daily complimentary coffee cards at the coffee place across the street, and they have a little grab and go breakfast setup with teas, and granola bar type foods. Other reviews mention the fire alarm from the local fire house going off - we stayed for 3 nights and never heard it go off once. read more

Lovely updated hotel with comfy room and sumptuous bedding. Avoid the rooms on Main Street, front of hotel. Traffic throughout the night made it difficult to sleep, even with windows closed. Otherwise very convenient location and nice amenities. Lynne C read more

My wife and I were in town for the Taste of Howell Mountain and we stayed at the Wydown for 5 nights. It was Excellent! From the staff to the appointments it was Excellent! I'd say it's a "minimalistic upscale" place. Great appointments but not overbearing. The casual breakfast was fine....nothing out of the ordinary. Parking in the back was easy. The bed was comfortable and the cooling worked well (not as good as I'd like when there's an Extreme Heat Warning outside) but a few degrees cooler would have been better. The personnel were friendly and attentive. When in town again I'd definitely stay here if rooms are available. read more

I just stayed at this hotel this past weekend. It was wonderful. The room was very clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and very helpful!! It was so nice to be right in the heart of downtown St. Helena and in close proximity to the CIA. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others. Keep up the good work. read more

Great boutique hotel! Stayed there for a wedding. Ultra clean, modern, well kept. Staff is off the charts friendly and helpful. They had great recommendations too. Enjoyed it greatly. Did I mention very nice people? read more

Such a charming hotel right in downtown St. Helena. We had a fabulous room and our stay was a bit rainy but it was never a bother to sit in our room with a great bottle of wine. Walk everywhere from here! Super friendly staff and so personal! We love the vibe this place gives off...would recommend to anyone that wants quiet luxury in wine country! Can't wait for the tea kitchen to open! read more

This newly renovated hotel on the main street in St. Helena is wonderful. The showers and beds made me feel like I was in a spa! The hotel gives you a free tasting at the neighboring tasting room Materra. All wonderful, especially considering that this is a very reasonably priced hotel for St. Helena. The only bad thing for me was not having good coffee in the morning. They have the in room coffee maker, but only tee and bagels are offered in the common area. read more

Wonderful stuff with the cleanest nicest rooms ever. The renewed the lobby and the hotel back enterence just two days before we arrive. walking distance from a lot of businesses. We didnt have to drive. We just walked to our dinner reservations and wine tasting. read more

If I could rate this hotel higher than 5-stars I absolutely would! It is one of the most comfortable hotels I've ever had the privilege of staying in. The thoughtfulness every person who works there puts into the little things is tremendous. Josh and all the other front desk staff are some of the friendliest I've ever encountered. They always greeted us warmly when we came downstairs and offered us water or anything else we needed on our way in and out. They had the most sublime breakfast every morning, with incredible fresh pastries from a bakery across the street. There were always fresh cookies by the stairwell on our way to our rooms. And there are only two floors in the entire hotel, so noise is not an issue at all! I didn't even have to use my earplugs once (which is virtually unheard of when I stay at a hotel)! The bed was the most comfortable I think I've even slept on in any hotel, and the room had plenty of space. The Wydown is located right in downtown St. Helena, with great shopping and a plethora of fantastic restaurants that you can easily walk to. I so highly recommend this beautiful hotel, and we will definitely be staying here again soon! Thanks so much to the staff for making us feel so welcome and giving us the perfect home away from home! read more

We we getting together with friends for wine tasting and dinner in St. Helena, and decided to stay over the night at the last minute ( 2 weeks before) and this was the only hotel that had availability. Overall our stay was nice, it was a great location right in town and the people working there were very pleasant. The only issue we had was that in the morning when we were taking showers, the shower backed up and there was actually a bunch of hair in the drain which I found very disgusting, especially for the amount of money we were paying. On our way to breakfast we mention it to the gentleman down at the desk, who seemed genuinely mortified, and by the time we got back from breakfast it had been dealt with. Unfortunately for us it was too late and we were leaving that day. I know things happen, but as fast as that shower backed up, it seemed like either the shower doesn't get that well cleaned, or no one cared that it was backing up until someone complained. If it hadn't been for that, I would've given it four stars. read more
