Best value
Best deal for the price in the area. The only downside is that second floor rooms have no elevator access so if climbing stairs with your luggage might be a challenge, make sure to ask fir a ground floor room.

Charming and Updated!
I love staying at the El Bonita. It’s affordable, location is perfect, and breakfast is great. The WiFi was not working consistently on this stay, but it may be due to the rooms being beautifully renovated. Can’t wait to be back next month!

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.

Had to have a Heart procedure at Adventist St Helena Hospital and this hotel was very accessible for my 78-year-old wife to travel to and from hospital. Only nine minutes from hospital and was centrally located close to multiple food establishments and grocery store. Hotel staff was very nice, and rooms were clean and quiet. Retro style hotel with modern upgrades. Wiil stay there again for pleasure. Decent room pricing considering most hotels within a 10-mile radius cost 2 to 5 times as much for probably almost same accommodations... Thanks, El Bonita......

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.
