Any experience with the Prescott? Also the Wine train tour in NAPA valley?

The wine train in Napa Valley is a fun, if a little bit more expensive way to enjoy wine country. We have taken the train a few years back and enjoyed it. They have improved the ride to allow you to truly visit wineries along the way. Obviously it is a good prudent option to avoid drinking & driving, since you are on the train. The disadvantage is much less flexibility in what wineries you can visit - at least until the train ride is over. Our page on the train, which also includes a link to the official train site is http://www.sftravel.com/napa_wine_train.html
The reviews we have seen of the Prescott are generally pretty good. It is part of Kimpton Hotels which is a strong service brand on the West Coast. The negative feedback on this hotel primarily relates to the small size of the rooms. If you’re looking for a large room, this might not be a good choice. The hotel’s area is in the busy Union Square area near a lot of shopping, hustle, and bustle. The hotel seems to take a lot of Hotwire and Priceline “blind” visits which is interesting in terms of demand. Our hotel page for the Prescott is http://www.sftravel.com/hotels/classy/prescotthotel.html
Personally, I’d recommend staying here if you get a good deal - but I wouldn’t go crazy seeking it out. Let us know if we can help more via this community forum and please do consider booking any travel via our site.
