Inn On Randolph

We stayed here for a weekend away. We drove up from the south bay and got stuck in traffic but our host was extremely accommodating with our late arrival, checking us in and ensuring that we found a good place to eat. The room was beautiful (we stayed in the autumn room) and the tub was a great plus. The food was delicious and the place had a real homey feel- it was our first B&B experience and it convinced us that B&Bs are the way to go! It is a five-minute walk from downtown Napa, so it was a perfect home base for visiting the valley. The walls are a bit thin so it may not be the right choice for light sleepers or people on an unusual schedule. Other than that, I would highly recommend it.

Our stay in the Summer room at the Inn On Randolph was lovely and our time with Deborah was a highlight of our trip to the Napa Valley. We enjoyed breakfast most mornings in the backyard and wine on our deck every evening. We highly recommend this delightful inn and would stay again.

We had a group of 3 couples at the Inn and each couple stayed in a room in the main house. The property is amazing with lovely old trees,lush landscaping and several patio/porch areas. The rooms were clean, quaint & cozy and had no TV's. The sheets were fabulous -- some extra special, soft microfiber! The innkeeper was lovely, and very helpful. Breakfast was fun in the group dining area and it was great to start the day of winery touring with a hearty and delicious breakfast. We'd definitely return.

The Inn is decent, and provided an average experience. The innkeeper is a bit aloof, which was not what I expect at from a B&B host. I didn't like the dining set up, everyone sits at separate tables for breakfast. I prefer a large community setting where all the visitors can chat and you have an opportunity to meet new people - that's why I stay at B&B's after all! You don't have control over the tempurate in your room, and ours was a bit on the warm side, but it cooled off a few hours after the sun set. There are no TVs in the room which was actually kind of nice. Overall it was a decent stay but I can't say there was anything expectional about the experience.

Breakfast is an important part of the B&B experience, but over the past 16 years we have found not everyone has the same expectation, so we try to provide guest choices. There is one communal table that can seat up to 8 people, for those who want to eat with other guests, but we also provide a couple of tables for two, for couples who prefer to dine alone. Weather permitting, there is also the option of eating on the outdoor patio. In this particular instance, it may be that no one else was sitting at the communal table when the guests came down for breakfast. Since we serve over the course of an hour, and guests can choose when they eat, there aren’t always a lot of guests in the dining area at the same time. We’re always looking for ways to improve, so I’ll take these comments as an opportunity to explore new options for a better breakfast experience. As for the “aloof innkeeper” comment, I can only apologize and say this is the antithesis of what I try to impart to my guests. Helping them enjoy their time in Napa, while feeling comfortable and welcome, is my goal and I regret I wasn’t successful in this instance. Every day is a work in progress and I promise to do my best to make EVERY guest experience not only better than average, but WONDERFUL.

- Deborah (innkeeper)

Very nice bed and breakfast. Deborah and the staff were very accomodating and friendly. When we return to Napa we will be staying at the Inn on Randolph.

Thanks to Deborah for going the extra mile during our stay at the Inn. The rooms were lovely, the breakfast scrumptious and Deborah's hospitality thoughtful.

This was our first trip to Napa, and it exceeded our expectations. Deborah gave us lots of advice on fun things to do, and great wineries to visit. The house was amazing, and very quaint. We had a great time, and loved the visit, we always started the day off great with a delicious breakfast as well. I would recommend this place to everyone, it's near downtown, but not too close to take away from the peaceful house.
