Napa Valley Gets New Holiday Inn Express® Hotel

Property lays claim to being the Napa Valley's newest hotel

American Canyon, CA (PRWEB) April 24, 2009 -- A new hotel located in Napa Junction, the gateway to Napa Valley, can now lay claim to being the Valley's newest hotel.

The three-story, 101-room Holiday Inn Express & Suites Napa Valley recently opened across from Napa Junction's Main Street Park. The hotel includes 76 guest rooms, twenty-five suites and 2,000 square feet of meeting space.

Co-owner Stan Boyd says he is proud to be the newest hotel in the Napa Valley. "Given the projects currently in the pipeline, we expect to hold that title for some time," says Boyd.

Boyd expects guests at the property to be a mix of business travelers and value-oriented visitors to the Napa Valley. Hotel rates are expected to range from $119 to $279 a night, depending on the room type and time of year, significantly less than many hotels in nearby Napa or Yountville.

Value-conscious travelers will also like the hotel's complimentary wireless and wired high-speed Internet access, as well as its complimentary Express Start® breakfast bar.

"When you consider those extras," Boyd says, "it can equal an added value of $20-$30 a night."

Boyd and his partners - Tom LaTour, retired CEO of Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants, and Andy Kirmse, a former executive for InterContinental Hotels - chose the Napa Junction location because of its proximity to Napa Valley business' and attractions.

"It's the most convenient location we could find in the Napa Valley to meet our needs," Boyd said.

The hotel is within 30 miles of over 300 wineries, including the Robert Mondavi Winery, Beringer Vineyards and the Stag's Leap Winery. It is just 20 miles from Yountville, home of some of Napa Valley's best-known restaurants.

For those seeking family-friendly attractions, the hotel is just five miles from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and sixteen miles from Infineon Raceway home to the NASCAR Toyota/Save Mart 350, NHRA Nationals and the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma.
