Napa Valley Hotel and Suites Soundproofs Rooms for Greater Comfort and Privacy

February 6th, 2012

As part of our extensive renovations at the Napa Valley Hotel and Suites here in downtown Napa, we worked with West Coast Sound Solutions of San Francisco, CA to completely address a problem that many older hotels have, which is guests on the lower floor hearing noises from the floor above them.  Problem solved!

The team at West Coast Sound Solutions came in and completely soundproofed the floors in 47 of our rooms.  It took just 12 days to remove the carpets down to bare wood, place down a 11.5mm covering of “ultimate soundproofing underlay”, reinforce the seams of the underlay material to ensure there were no air gaps where noise could creep through, and add a new plush carpet pad and carpet.

The difference is remarkable.  The project was completed on time and within budget.

We know you’ll hear the difference when you come and stay at our newly renovated boutique Napa hotel, and wanted to share with you how we achieved such great results.

Wash Your Stress Away in a Napa Valley Mud Bath

December 26th, 2011

Developed by the Wapoo Indians, mud baths are a combination of volcanic ash, hot spring water and peat moss. Many Calistoga spas may add an aromatherapy ingredient, such as lavender or eucalyptus to further enhance your experience.

Mud baths are meant to “take you away from your hectic life” so many spas will let you soak for up to 1 ½ hours.

The best way to locate a great mud bath and spa in Napa Valley is to ask the concierge at Napa Valley Hotel and Suites.

Reserve your room at Napa Valley Hotel and Suites and ask about the different spas in the area. Our friendly staff and concierge can provide you with details on each spa and are happy to make a reservation for you. One option is the Lincoln Avenue Spa because of its close proximity to Napa Valley attractions and its wide menu of services.

After a day of rolling around in the mud, return to your luxurious accommodations at Napa Valley Hotel and Suites. Our newly upgraded accommodations will provide you with an affordable boutique hotel experience, ideal after spa-day decadence!
