Very convenient and relaxing option, although you can hear street traffic from the room, and you can hear people in neighboring rooms. Ear plugs are helpful when sleeping.

Loved this property! The property was fully redone in 2019 so the rooms were clean ans comfortable. We loved the hot spring pools, spa, and playful but casual grounds. I would highly recommend this property for an upscale retro modern vibe in Napa.

I booked this because hotel options are limited with a dog and it looked like fun. Upon arriving I was told that they would upgrade me since the room I booked wasn’t one of their dog appointed rooms which I thought was nice. But then had to sign a waiver with a bunch of rules with the dog saying I can’t leave her alone in the room or take her to any pools. I paid over $400USD for one night and asked how I was supposed to enjoy amenities I’m paying for if I can’t take her or leave her. So it was pretty disappointing. The room was a spa cottage and it was ok. It felt very empty and unfinished in terms of decor, again at that price I wouldn’t expect to feel like I’m staying in a dorm room. I went to order a drink and food at 9:05 and was told the kitchen closed at 9pm. I walked around town and FYI you can’t get food anywhere after 9pm. Luckily I had bought snacks earlier but was really looking forward to a relaxing meal - would have been nice to know that the town shuts down early. The road in front of the hotel was also under construction which was quite loud and caused confusion trying to get into the parking lot. Overall it’s a cute concept - seems a bit unfinished but WAY overpriced regardless even if I had use of the amenities it was still not worth that amount. If anyone is looking for an amazing wellness resort I would highly recommend CIVANA in Scottsdale instead and if you are just passing through Calistoga just stay somewhere cheaper.

Comfortable, Clean and Great Service at Check-In
A quaint inn with clean and comfortable room. I especially commend the young lady who was able to move things around to let me check in 1.5 hr early as I had to change and get to a wedding before the check in time. She was so professional and kind! The only draw back was late night noise, which quieted down around midnight.
