Getting a true sense of place in a hotel room is becoming harder to do as more and more hotels are favoring anonymously modern decor, and glitz over real geographic substance. Luckily there are still places out there like the Rancho Caymus Inn located in the central Napa Valley in the town of Rutherford.

The Inn rests between vineyards on three sides and is made up of six suites, each of which is named after a famous Napa Valley settler such as writer Robert Louis Stevenson and the famous San Francisco swindler Black Bart.

A day before she was spotted taking the bus from NJ to NYC, Eliot Spitzer's call girl Ashley Dupre was frolicking on the beaches of the Jersey Shore.

Normally, this is nothing out of the ordinary for a Jersey Girl. However, we couldn't help but notice the towel that she was sitting on as seen in this pic from the Daily News.

Auberge Du Soleil, a chic resort in Napa Valley also favored by E from Entourage. While the hotel does sell many amenities online including bathrobes, you have to go to the hotel in person to pick up one of those towels yourself.

Entourage Hotel: E and Sloan's Napa Escape

Where: 180 Rutherford Hill Rd [map], Rutherford, CA, United States, 94573

Did you catch the hotel recommendation on last night's Entourage? E and Sloan are preparing to go away to Napa for a romantic weekend together, however, Vince is making every effort to figure out a way to turn a couples weekend into a foursome.

So where do Eric and Sloan book a four night stay? Auberge du Soleil, widely considered the best resort in Napa. This place isn't cheap--four nights will probably cost E well over $3,000, however, he has 5% of Aquaman scratch, so money isn't an object, right?

By the end of the show Sloan is bitter about something and virtually guarantees Eric that he will get no action at the Auberge.

Our advice to E? Get a good bottle of wine and try the couples massage in the Melissa Suite. Tipsters have told us that can break down even the tensest women.

Oh, wait, this is a fantasy show right? What gave it away?
