RAVE - Hotel Yountville

If you're wondering what we used as our base for this weekend of good, not great dining in Napa, it was Hotel Yountville.

Aside from the sky-high cost of a "standard" king room - priced perhaps according to it being Napa's peak harvest season - the hotel was perfect. Well, steady on there Philip. Perfect? As in, "nothing whatsoever to criticize"?

Alright, aside from the staff starting their clean up routine around the hotel just a little bit before we were ready to hear them, the place was spacious and luxurious, the staff was attentive and always there when you wanted them, the food - we had breakfast in the garden - was delightful, the bar served killer cocktails, and the location was ideal.

It allowed us to walk to most of our stopping off places in Yountville, and was just what we needed to fill up the trunk with purchases from Dean and Deluca, Mumm Champagne, Duckhorn, and Round Pond wineries.

So yes, it was perfect.
