Silverado Resort
Beautiful area, nice staff and amenities. Disappointed in the South golf course playing a par 4 into a par 3 with temporary green. Disappointed also that we would pay extra charges to use the pool on the spa side.

The Meritage Resort and Spa
I was charged more than my reservation for parking and they didn’t take my plate number or give me a parking pass which just felt like they were gauging. It should have been disclosed. I had to go back and ask about it which felt a little sleazy.

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Rafael at Marin Center
Staff was extremely helpful and accommodating during our stay. Pool area was clean and perks (daily snack service at no cost and free drinks each evening) made our family trip a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Napa Valley Marriott Hotel & Spa
Checked in; staff wasn't very welcoming. During our stay, we had issues with the door lock and the shower drainage. We called maintenance three times, and they fixed it while we were out. The hotel is also next to Target, Starbucks, shops, and restaurants. Overall, the stay was okay.
