Enthusiastic thumbs up: 2 very clean sparkling pools - the large one 82 degrees, the med-size at 92 degrees (ahhhh) and one indoor mineral hot spa, lots of towels available in pool area and room. Mineral water dispensers around to fill up to your heart's content, lovely spacious King (room 210), refillable toiletries from Malin & Goetz, two cans in room for trash and recyclables, adorable 50's style electric kettle and aqua mini-fridge, interesting instant pour-over bags of Vietnamese coffee, excellent layered room lighting, friendly thoughtful reception service at the front desk - Rocky, David, Jose. We found a lovely birthday card for hubby Bob in the room with a discount for two slices of pie at House of Better on the premises. Sadly, no pie that day but we got muffins. Nice breakfast of avocado toast and egg muffin (not included in room price, though).

I wish there were fewer disposables used, I wish the closet space were separate from the bath area so it would be accessible when one of us had to close the bathroom door. Or that the toilet area had its own door instead. I wish the heating controls worked when we got chilly in the morning. But, all in all, this resort is a very fine and fun place to stay in Calistoga where you don't have to bring all your money, just some of it :-)

Love the mid century, modern retro decor. The rooms were clean and comfortable and cozy. The bar was nice. The staff was friendly.

There is no cell service at the wineries. We Uber to an event in the evening. When we went to leave the event, we realized there was no way to communicate with anyone to get picked up. I wish that was something that was communicated better as aThere is no cell service at the wineries. We Uber to a event in the evening.

The pools and grounds are gorgeous, and the food at House of Better is creative and incredible (we particularly loved the green and red chile sauces). We had a wonderfully relaxing time, including lying in the hammocks, eating on the patio, swimming in the cold pool, and soaking in the hot pool.

The music could have been a bit quieter at points! It's kind of omnipresent around the grounds and pool areas.

Updated, friendly, everything was close in the location itself, great location on the Main Street. Lots of fun things to do.

I wish there was a bathroom that was inside the pool areas. It’s very strange to be in your robe walking through the lobby to use the bathroom! Also the breakfast menu was limited. I was hoping for pancakes!

I loved the vibe of the resort. From check in until check out, it's all about relaxing and enjoying your time there. I would happily stay there again. We took advantage of the restaurant, pools, and the spa. I loved the size of the room and how comfortable the bed was.

Only complaint was that our room had an adjoining door and we could hear the people next door through it. Made us a little self conscience but put on music so as to feel more private.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the site had personality and the pools were excellent, well kept, plenty of lounging room. Overall a relaxing, welcoming, special experience.

I would have liked some sort of complimentary coffee/tea setup in the morning, rather than the coffee packets in our room. But I did appreciate the high quality teas and (working!) kettle in my room.

We loved the pools, outdoor swings, bar/restaurant, corn hole lawn games, easy parking and excellent customer service. The beds were very comfortable & the room was very clean. We especially loved that the resort was family and dog friendly. I really appreciated check-out being at noon, so we were able to enjoy the pools in the morning too. If you're traveling with your pup and want a comfortable place to stay on the Main Street in town, I recommend Dr. Wilkinson's.

Even though the room was large, I felt a little claustrophobic due to the window looking out into the covered hallway and beyond where the giant indoor hot tub was.

Loved the hot spa tub and breakfast at the cafe. Plus the wonderful water, we were so well hydrated!! And thanks for the sweet pink water bottles!

Wish the hot tub would have opened earlier as we had an early departure and would have liked a morning soak.

Amazing staff, beautiful comfortable pool lounges, comfortable room with very nice linens. Lots of available spa services and even a cold plunge! A bar next to the pool and restaurant that will bring food to you poolside. Cute retro fridge and tea kettle added nice charm to the room.

The property is situated around a parking lot which gives it more of a motel feel. I wish they would hedge or fence the property so you werent looking at a parking lot from everywhere. The restaurant has a great set up but its really more of a 'cafe', I wish it would have had a more elevated menu for dinner. For the price, I think these things were a little disappointing but overall still a great experience.

The mineral pools were amazing, it's really nice that you have 3 different temperatures to choose from and the outdoor lounge chairs were comfortable. Staff were really friendly and they provide a lot of free amenities during your stay. Room was great except for the AC mentioned below. Location is also ideal within walking distance of downtown.

AC unit in room seems like the only thing they didn't replace when they renovated the motel, and it is extremely loud. You have to choose between overheating at night or trying to go to bed next to an airplane engine. Also there is no views from most of the rooms which face an interior wood fence, but this wasn't a big deal for us.
