It's pretty old and run down, the bed sagged a bit in the middle, but the desk staff was very polite and it was one of the cheaper places I found in Napa. For anywhere else though, it would have been greatly over priced.

Don't let the name "charm or fool you." Personally thought this was an old Red Roof Inn that they had put up a different sign. Stayed there with spouse and another couple on trip to Napa and Muir Woods. We only stayed one night which was a good thing...I have allergies and this place is a musty old hotel that... More

This hotel has all the basic amenities and does the job for a quick stay. The staff were actually very friendly and nice and down to earth (translation: local twenty-something types with a somewhat laid back attitude, plus the parent-like managers). Reservations can be made online and it's all convenient. They also still use room keys which is a nice,... More

The location is great for this motel, however, it is tired and could use a good renovation. They may also want to consider adding better food to their complimentary breakfast and adding wine glasses to the room. They are in Napa, so that would be a good touch.

John Muir Inn was clean but it desperately needs attention. Paint, new carpet, and updated furniture would help a great deal. It does have a great location but there are properties on VRBO that are much nicer and cheaper.

Stayed here for a wedding in Napa. I wasn't impressed with the hotel. It was like a Motel 6 but at the cost of a Marriott. Decor was old, beds we soft and you can feel springs moving. Should have spent the extra $$ to stay at the Marriott right down the street.

We stayed here for 2 nights while attending a family wedding in the area. This was one of the more reasonable options that the bride and groom offered, and now I know why! This hotel has definitely seen better days. We had a room on the first floor - #124, a couple doors across and down from the housekeeping work... More

We stayed here for two nights on an extended family road trip. The room was nice, clean and comfortable. The best part about it is the location. Two adult, one senior and two children used it as home base for various forays into the Napa Valley. Although right next to Highway 129, it is not noisy. Decor is pretty average.... More

We recently stayed at the John Muir Inn on our trip to Napa. The staff was friendly. Hotel was clean. The atmosphere is definitely low key and the interior is somewhat dark. Not necessarily dreary but not vibrant. Room was clean and well kept but not very attractive. Bed was stiff and pillows were small and soft. Not a good... More
