I had a wonderful weekend stay at Inn St. Helena. The bed was super comfy, and I loved the home cooked breakfast in the morning. The owner gave me some great recommendations for dinner and wineries to visit. The location is super convenient for walking. Free parking in the back. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in St. Helena.

Our room was very comfortable, however the air conditioner next to our bed was very noisy. The tub/shower had very high sides so very hard to get in to. We used the half bath hall shower which worked out fine. Very disappointed that we did not have your B&B breakfast our last morning. It was explained that you do not make a hot breakfast if there is only one guest to serve. The voucher was OK, but not a good substitute. At over $500 a night, I think we deserved better.

Our stay at the Inn St. Helena was overall pleasant. The room was nice and clean. Property is beautiful! We were a little thrown off when we were checking-in and they told us that there was not going to be enough breakfast for us in the morning and gave us a $20 voucher to a juice bar down the street instead. We figured this might be due to COVID protocols but were bummed since it is a Bed & Breakfast. In the morning we walked and got some juice and as we walked back into our building there were three couples sitting at the dining table saying that they were waiting for us to eat... There were two empty chairs there with food placed at their settings. We explained to the other guests that we were told we wouldn't be served breakfast so left and already got juices. The other guests seemed confused (as were we). It made the entire stay a little confusing/uncomfortable.

Inn St. Helena was the most pleasant experience I have ever had! This was my first time staying in a bed and breakfast, but I feel the expectation is now high for any others I might stay at! Patrice was so attentive and kind, she even gave us a little history lesson about the house and the grounds. Prior to our stay I had spoken on the phone with Julian and he was equally as great as Patrice. I don't think I would ever want to stay anywhere else when visiting St. Helena! We loved every moment of our stay there and plan on making a return trip!

Quaint and comfortable

Wonderful hospitality. Great location. Nice amenities. Superb breakfast. The walls were a little thin and the couple below talked all night. That was more on the rude couple though. Could hear doors closing etc. However, it is a creepy historic old house so you’ll have some of that. Really great experience overall. Got me checked in a little earlier upon my arrival. Booked a massage for me due to a bad migraine.
