"Nice room- suite overlooking the pool and vineyards in back of property. Room was cleaned beautifully each day. Breakfast was good every day. Mattress on our bed was relatively hard and uncomfortable. Bath products were funky scent- so did not use them during our stay bought our own soap and shampoo. TV remote did not work worth a damn. I thought the property was showing many signs of deferred maintenance. For $1,500 a night, we’ll stay somewhere else next time. This was our second stay at the...

The Meritage Resort and Spa

The Meritage Resort and Spa

8/10 Good
"We had 3 people in the room. The room was beautiful with the bedroom and living area plus a kitchenette. The bathroom was huge! Too bad the shower doors weren't frosted glass so more than one person could be in the bathroom. Someone in the room next to us was smoking on the patio so we had to close the balcony doors . We did not eat in any of the resturants. And did not get to use the pool since it rained so much."

Which area of St Helena is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting St Helena, finding truly "cheap" hotels can be challenging due to the region's generally upscale nature; however, focusing on accommodations slightly outside the main downtown area or considering guesthouses and B&Bs can offer better value.

While they might not be directly in the bustling centre, these locations often provide a tranquil setting and still offer convenient access to the town's attractions by car or a short bike ride.

Alternatively, consider staying in neighbouring towns like Calistoga or Napa itself. These larger areas often have a broader range of accommodation types, including more budget-friendly hotels or motels, and are still within a reasonable driving distance of St Helena's wineries and culinary scene.
