Well well well, where do I start. Me and my friends arrived at around midnight, not ideal I must admit but you play with the cards you’ve been dealt. We were greeted by Paul Pogba, obviously a clear attempt at stalling his Juventus move, who was less than impressed at our arrival. I proceeded to hand him our hotel voucher to which he started sorting out. As there was 6 of us, and I had booked two rooms, I went to hand him the second hotel voucher for him to palm it away. No problem, it must be all under one booking, so I thought. He led us to what can only be described as the ghetto or the slums to the side of the actual hotel, as we discovered later was known as ‘the annexe’. After scaling to the top floor, with suitcases, Pogba then struggled to open our door. After numerous turns of the key, and shoulder barges it eventually opened. To my surprise, the room was very spacious however there were 4 beds, 3 pillows and 2 sheets and no curtain. Believe it or not, my friend Warry Hinkley used a rucksack as a pillow on his first night. We also used a bed sheet as a curtain and a shower curtain as a bed sheet. After finally realising that there was 6 of us, the French midfielder suggested we cosy up on 4 beds. I would’ve thought he’d have a better upbringing in Manchester United’s academy so after going back and fourth with him, he led the other half of the group back to the actual hotel and penned them up in a nice room. As mentioned above we had no curtain, after three days we requested for a curtain to be put in place. After what we thought was a clear language barrier, to what turned out to be downright rudeness, we were told that we would receive a curtain ‘not today but maybe tomorrow’. (We never received one) Location superb, right round the corner from Fenor Sogs, Super Marios and opposite Yummy Tommy’s. Pool was drained so had to walk to the other part of the hotel about 5 minutes away to use the pool - not ideal. There’s plenty more I can say but I’ll leave it at that. Despite what I’ve said, it actually made the holiday better and funnier. Somewhere to sleep and wash and good location. If Paul Pogba and fellow teammates could polish up on their customer service then we’re onto a winner. Also a great location for spotting A list celebs! Within one week we managed to get glimpses of Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera and the one and only, the king of pop, back from the dead, Jichael Mackson! Finally I recommend the Stumble Inn for food, best food by a mile in Napa. A common favourite within the group was the chicken penne or spaghetti bolo. 10/10
