Best for… MacArthur Place is an affordable base for exploring both Sonoma and Napa
The look and feel… It’s modern without feeling cold, with lots of quiet corners that feel sheltered away from the bustle, thanks to ample greenery.
The rooms… The undisputed highlight of my room was its private backyard, which had a large bathtub in a partially enclosed shed adorned with an outdoor shower and a small seating area.
The wellness… The pool and spa are currently under construction, but I look forward to returning when they’re finished!
The food… I ordered room service and enjoyed the new episode of Succession on the large TV with a fire lit. Though it’s not surprising to hear, the burger was the star of the order, which also included a curry squash soup.
Extra tip goes to… The employees across every touch point — valet, check-in, restaurant and housekeeping — were accommodating without any overbearing quality that can make you feel like you’re being babysat.
Be sure to… Enjoy the communal alcove seating area, complete with fire pits.
Parting words… Although brief, I was pleasantly surprised by my stay. After spending the previous few nights in the area at properties with a bit more buzz, MacArthur Place proved to deliver under the radar. In addition to its convenient location, I’d consider it a great option, thanks to its price point that verges on…reasonable! This could be especially heaven-sent for those who may have been lured to the region for a wedding weekend, where one’s room should provide a place of serenity.
Date of stay… April 2023
