Great place to stay in St, Helena.

Love the motel. Large room, huge bathtub. We were in Room 34a and I think it was recently remodeled. Mini bar area with fridge, microwave and and bar counter. Little patio area on back to sit outside. Picnic table under the trees to sit out and enjoy a glass of wine. In the evening they have a nice fire pit going so we sat out there with friends and enjoyed another glass of wine. Very cute motel. All the front rooms are under construction so it’s a little messy up front so we stayed in the back rooms that were available. we definitely recommend this cute motel for a quick stay in the Napa area very reasonably priced.

El Bonita is consistently one of our favorite places to stay. The staff are friendly, the rooms are clean, and the location is very convenient. They are currently renovating a portion of the property, so I'm eager to see what happens! We did not hear any construction sounds during our stay, so that's great.

We will come back!

This motel was perfect for our stay. The rooms were clean, and the employees were all very friendly. The breakfast selection was not very big but everything that they offered was high quality and delicious. I was very impressed, and I would love to come back when we are in the area again.

Good hotel

Good place to stay - close to wineries, restaurants and shops. The hotel also allows pets and have a nice “grassy” area for them that includes dog bags. As others mentioned, the breakfast had fresh fruit and cereal.

Noisy neighbors both nights…. Not the properties fault. They are doing remodel work, that should have been mentioned in the booking. Overall the minor construction was pretty quiet.
