Scene
Popular with business and leisure travelers alike
The hotel caters to both business and leisure travelers, and has a generally busy, bustling atmosphere. The lobby, with its wood-beamed ceiling, fireplace, burgundy accents, and furniture the color of wine barrels harkens to its vineyard surroundings. The part of the hotel that faces the street can get a lot of traffic noise, but the inner courtyard and back of the hotel, where the conference rooms are, remain quiet. There is also an outdoor space near the back of the property, with seating. A pool and spa are located in an inner courtyard, which is lined with trees and lounges. A hot tub is enclosed in a gazebo. A circular wall that runs from the street to the event center is lined with large pieces of artwork made by local schoolchildren.

Rooms
Simply furnished rooms, some with fireplaces, terraces, or whirlrpool hot tubs
The 80 rooms include rust-colored carpets, simple framed art on the walls, and wooden furnishings. A burgundy and brown color scheme that reflects the hues of wine country. All rooms have mini-fridges, coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs with cable, and air-conditioning. Bathrooms are simple. Think: single sinks and shower/tub combos covered with a fabric curtain. Some rooms have fireplaces, terraces, whirlpool hot tubs, and kitchenettes. Overall, the look is generic and small windows don't let in a lot of light.
