Kenwood Inn and Spa

We LOVED this place and definitely plan to return. It has a kind of Tuscan look. The grounds are lush and well-maintained. The staff is very well-trained. For example, whenever we walked by when the gardeners were in the midst of working, they stopped until we passed through. I appreciated that. The grounds and rooms are so gorgeous and comfortable, that spent most of our time on the property lounging, enjoying the hot pool, the main swimming pool, sitting under the umbrellas, reading on the private deck outside our room or next to the fireplace in our spacious room and enjoying the wine and cheese reception in the evening. We have stayed at several Four Sisters Inns and all are wonderful. This one is the tops!

Wow!!! We LOVED this place!!! Beautiful setting.....beautiful grounds and rooms! I have read other reviews that say some of the rooms are outdated, but ours was not! So I guess that is something to clarify before booking? We had a gorgeous room facing the main road but in the back section and it was perfect....no noise from the highway as I read in another review....very quiet and peaceful. Loved the fireplace and music playing when we walked in(only request next time would be more than one CD to play!!). The staff was friendly and the food service was definitely special--loved that it was a small, healthy selection as opposed to a big, fattening display--just perfect! We would definitely visit again!!!!!!!!

We loved everything about this place. It's a bit off of the beaten path if you're visiting Napa Valley, but worth the drive. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised at the gorgeous grounds. Everything was just beautiful! The staff was great. The rooms were beautiful and the little details that they are sure to include sat this place apart from some others. Freshly baked cookies in the reception area, a letter explaining the amenities addressed to us and waiting on the bed, the fire place lit and music playing in our room. After check in, we were invited to join others for a wine tasting that included cheeses, cracker and nuts. The pool and hot tub areas were lovely. The bathroom was fabulous. Very large jetted tub and huge shower. The only thing that I could list as a negative is that they do not have TVs in the room. While I totally get the reason behind why they don't have them, it is nice to have the option to flip a TV on when settling in by the fire and relaxing with your significant other. All in all, I would highly recommend this place! I don't think you'll be sorry.

The property is very beautiful and consists of several low rise buildings. We were given champagne at check in and then taken on a tour of the property. Because the room type we had requested was not available at check in, we were upgraded to a suite. The suite was quiet and comfortable.We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub -- the larger one -- that we had to ourselves. My only regret is that I wished we had been able to stay longer!

My husband booked the Kenwood Inn back in January 2017 for my 50th birthday which was this April. We had looked at the rooms online and decided that the Garden Rooms that were recently renovated was what we preferred. After reading some reviews online about traffic noise (some rooms face the busy Hwy 12)and foot noise if you are on the main level, my husband called right away to request that we put in a room on an upper floor and not facing the road. He was assured that we were moved to a quiet room. This was requested well in advance of our arrival. At the time of booking the room rate was $450. Closer to the date of our arrival, friends were thinking of joining us so we looked to see what was available, and saw the same room we had booked for $269. So my husband called to see what was going on and confirm the room we had booked. The room was the same, but the rate had gone down likely due to the Inn being sold recently. They did lower the rate, but said this one time only which we thought was a bit odd, because had we not noticed we would have paid the original price. Again my husband confirmed his request for a quiet room and was assured that’s what we had. On arrival, we were taken to our room, it was lovely, the room we wanted, on the second floor, BUT facing the highway and you could clearly hear the cars zooming by. So we asked to be moved, no explanation as to what happened with our request. We were shown a couple of rooms and ended up in a larger suite that was very outdated in one of the Heritage buildings. This room had potential, but was seriously outdated and the bathroom had an old old tub, no towel bars, one sink that didn’t drain properly. So this time, I went to the front desk and complained. Long story short, they did move us to an updated Suite to make us happy because the hotel was not full, which was very nice, however the walls were super thin and we could hear our neighbours like they were in our room. I guess my question is what would they have done if they were fully booked. The wine and cheese in the lobby everyday at 5pm is nicely done, the breakfast included was good, and grounds of the Inn are very lovely. The breakfast location is in need of an update though, it was a bit dark, and the restaurant isn’t open anymore, so you have to drive to Glen Ellen or Sonoma for dinner. I realize the hotel has just been taken over and renovations will happen, but right now I can only give it a 3 star because some of the amenities are just not 5 star yet. No alarm clock in the room, no coffee or tea in the room so if you’re an early riser, we had to wait until the breakfast area opened to get coffee, and noise transfer between rooms is an issue, especially when you are paying top dollar for a room.
