Sometimes a “bargain hotel” isn’t such a good deal, even if Captain Kirk SAYS it is. Especially if it costs you MORE.
Because a cheap hotel deal is about as trustworthy as a Klingon, when you add it all up.
Especially as versus the Beazley House Bed and Breakfast in Napa.
First off you have to add in all the “Stealth Extras” the hotels will charge you. They go by various names: “Resort Fees, Concierge charges, Parking fees, Room Service, BREAKFAST, even Water.”They all add weight to your bottom line, like bon bons to a fat girl.
During a conference Carol and I attended this year in Napa we paid a $50 Resort fee. Concierge charges average about $15 to $25 per night. Parking at hotels can run $28, if you don’t move your car. Room Service? It’s not the $25 hamburger that’s going to give you a stomach ache, it’s the 18% “service charge.” Breakfast: Let’s just say you better not be hungry.
So the “bargain” you THOUGHT you were getting morphs into a nasty surprise when you check out.
At the Beazley House you’ll be surprised by all you get FOR FREE.
We would NEVER resort to a “Resort” fee.
WE are your concierges. Our guidance to all Napa Valley has to offer is given freely.
Parking in our off-street spaces are as free as the abundant street parking.
We don’t “service charge” you when you’ve ordered fruit and cheese or a bottle of wine. It will be delivered to your room as arranged and you’ll know exactly how much it will cost when you place your order.
BREAKFAST is a bountiful spread served each morning. It’s INCLUDED in your rate and heart healthy.
You could even be “car free”.
The Beazley House is located in a Victorian neighborhood only three blocks from downtown Napa. We are within walking distance of over 30 zagat rated restaurants, 19 wine tasting rooms and the Napa Valley Wine Train. The Napa Valley Opera House, an intimate 500 seat theater built in 1879 is a short stroll away. The Uptown Theater, an art deco masterpiece, has been completely restored and opens May 14th with “Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.”
In addition to all the above you’ll find FREE bottled water, our wonderful Beazley House Chocolate Chip cookies, a variety of teas, our own Beazley Blend coffee and afternoon sherry.
And on Friday and Saturday evenings we offer a FREE wine tasting of Napa Valley wines with complimentary food pairings. And we’ll make your dinner reservations for that evening if we haven’t already. Free.
They also know the difference between a “bargain” and a value.
