The El Bonita! Yes! Where to start? A super adorable retro roadside motel that’s steeped in California vintage culture. Lovely, clean, and really well done! Will definitely stay here again.
The room is very nicely furnished and the grounds are well maintained. I would stay there again. One complaint is that upon arrival at 3.30pm I asked the front desk man for extra blanket and pillow because of recent health issue. He said he was too busy to bring it until after 5pm but he never showed up so I was a bit cold and uncomfortable all night. Oh well.
We popped into town for the day and decided to spend the night. We’ve stayed here before and they never let us down. It’s reasonably priced, clean, and easy. This isn’t a high end frills place but always provides a great place for a nights sleep.

We had a spa ious and clean room for my two daughters, for her birthday weekend. Will come stay again!
A pet-friendly hotel with updated, clean rooms, with jacuzzi and sauna available during our winter visit. Nice green yard for dog walking, and fire pit running in the evenings made our stay even more enjoyable. Great service and value. Location is perfect for walking to wineries or driving to Calistoga for spas.
