Meadowood Napa Valley

I was at Meadowood for business, but plan to come another time. The ground are beautiful. Did the hike around the property, and what views! Fantastic stay stay, wonderful staff. Was in a cottage room and was amazing. Loved it, highly recommend!

Meadowood is like an uber luxurious summer 'camp' in a beautiful mossy, treed setting. It's peaceful, relaxing, well-appointed with attention to detail evident throughout. The food is delicious and the beverage selection is great. The staff are friendly, personable and attentive. It truly is an understated, welcoming and luxurious hotel. I can't wait to return.

Meadowood is beautiful and the on-site staff is excellent. There was one issue that is big at any price point and a couple issues that are only a problem at this price point. Big issue: We booked a room with a $750 on-site credit, which we were denied at checkout. I reviewed the booking process and found a clear bait and switch (at best) or they simply chose not to honor our credit for some reason. I assumed I must have made an error, but I can't see how as I have repeated the process to test. I also can't get a requested call back to discuss the issue. This is very upsetting and feels like an intentionally misleading action by the booking team, who cleverly are not on-site. Small issues: It rained a little bit the night before we had a tennis reservation. When we went to check in, we were told they don't recommend playing if the court is wet. It only rained a bit, so we figured it was worth a try. The courts could easily have been squeegeed off in about ~5 mins per court, especially since we had a reservation. Not a big issue, but for well over a grand / night, I'd expect more. The food at Forum is not good. The service is friendly but bad. We ate there twice. The food was all under-seasoned. Everyone working was nice, but service was slow and sporadic both times -- oddly even worse at the bar. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are lovely, and the staff is very nice. Our trip was tainted by an unexpected $1000 bill at check out with no attempts at resolution followed by another disappointing meal on-site. Not worth it in its current state.
