Fodor's Expert Review Wine & Roses Hotel

Set on 7 acres amid a tapestry of informal gardens and with most guest rooms decorated in rich earth tones or soothing blues and purples, this hotel has cultivated a sense of refinement typically associated with Napa or Carmel. The palette in the spa rooms, which have nearly the same amenities, is softer and more soothing; some rooms have fireplaces, and all have Wi-Fi access that, along with access to the pool and fitness center. Discounts on tastings at the adjacent Lodi Wine & Visitors Center is included in the daily $20 resort fee, and the on-site Towne House restaurant is deservedly popular. After a dip in the pool or a meal at the restaurant, you can head to the spa for a facial or herbal body scrub.
