It's a country hotel. The rooms near the road are noisy. The road may be under repair. There is a big iron plate. Every car passing by will make a noise.

The lock at the outside door of my room is defective. Yet, the ambience of the hotel is good and energetic

Property is overrated - it's nothing more than a glorified, renovated motel. Rooms are most basic, location is good but not great. Not living up to high Marriott standards

My adults kids (23 & 19) and I visited for the weekend and truly enjoyed ourselves! Lovely ambience, great location, super friendly staff and immaculately clean. We would definitely go back again!

Dr. Wilkinson's was great. Only one staff made it uncomfortable. A man with dark hair at the bar was not very Pleasant. He was not friendly at all. We worked hard at not making it ruin our vacation.

Great hotel resort and restaurant. Excellent facilities, but most importantly a fantastic staff. From GM Jose, to Edgar at the front desk, to Shawn who keeps everything running, their staff always goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. We visit every couple of months and the consistency is phenomenal.

The resort is beautiful. They have two outdoor pools, one is a warm pool and the other is slightly cooler. There is also a huge indoor heated mineral pool with massage jets. Lots of lounge chairs, towels, free drinking water and cabanas. The rooms are immaculate. Robes are provided together with refillable water bottles. There is a nice bar/restaurant right next to the pool. We were there during the weekdays and it was not crowded. The staff is super nice and friendly. I also had an amazing 60 minute massage at the spa. The resort is within walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars in Calistoga. It also has fire pits on the property where you can gather in the evenings. Overall, I would definitely return for another overnight stay!

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for just one night at the tail end of our California trip. We used 75,000 of our Marriott points to stay here which was imo a lot of points for this property. The town itself is a very nice place and the location of the hotel was great. The hotel is really more like a retro motor lodge. The rooms have been pretty nicely renovated but our room which was on the first floor was quite dark and we had literally no view other than a fence and a walkway. You definitely need to keep the shade down otherwise there are many persons walking by that can look right in. The first floor rooms are very noisy and you need to keep the AC unit blasting so as to drown out some of the noise from the 2nd floor rooms and any persons that are walking by. We had a couples massage scheduled for the day we checked in and boy was that ever a letdown! I’ve never had a more unappealing spa experience. No quiet, relaxing area for before or after the treatment. They stick you in a little changing closet and you put on a ratty robe and some provided sandals then proceed to a locker room area and sit on a locker room bench to wait for your treatment. There didn’t seem to be a separate men’s/women’s area as my husband and I were both sitting on the same bench in the same locker room. No relaxing chairs with dim lighting and champagne or wine offered here! Only a locker room with nasty hair all over the floor. Then after the massages they handed us each a mini Dixie cup with some water. Definitely not the ambience that I expected for $400. And, they really seem to encourage the 25% tip thing. No way was I going to tip $100 for that experience!!
