Fodor's Expert Review Cambria Hotel Napa Valley

Bright and spotless with a staff trained to please, this four-story Choice Hotels property provides value with a splash of boutique style in its public areas. A double-sided fireplace catches the eye in the lobby, whose bar has views of the large outdoor patio. Morning light streams into the nearby breakfast room, where (for a fee) guests dine on dishes that might include egg-white omelets, eggs several other styles, a croissant sandwich, and avocado toast. (There's no lunch, but you can order dinner from the bar.) The nondescript hallways give this corporate hotel's game away, but design touches like bathroom barn doors, leather headboards with decorative straps, and nightstands with faux-marble tops lend the guest rooms, done in shades of beige and brown, a modicum of flair. At the southern end of Napa's auto row on a busy four-lane road, the Cambria lacks Wine Country glamour but delivers a more than satisfactory experience.
