Guest Reviews

• Gary (6/5): -
• A M Stuart (9/5): Delightfully relaxing 😊 - Kindness & attention to the visitors needs. The folks who worked there seemed to work well as a team and enjoyed helping others folks. Relaxed & stylishly in a 1960s sort of way.
• Barbara (9/5): Great property! I’d come again - Spending time at the outdoor restaurant was wonderful! Friendly staff and great food/atmosphere! Would have liked a quieter ac system, otherwise everything was wonderful
• L J (10/5): Very nice stay. Will be coming back. - Great facilities (3 pools with various temperatures), cafe on site, spa is lovely. Nearby restaurants, grocery store and shops.
• deja (4/5): -

• Banan_ana_banana_ban (10/5): Laid back vibes and bliss - I have stayed at Dr. Wilkinson's Backyard Resort four times--with friends, by myself, and with my husband for a couple's trip--and it has never disappointed. The rooms are always clean and stocked with pour over coffee and tea. The bed is comfortable, although I think they use feather bedding, which I am allergic to, so I will have to remember to ask for a feather-free room next time. The pools, which are fed from hot springs, are really a highlight of this property. The hottest pool is in the adults-only area off the spa and is, I think, hot tub temperature. There are two other pools that are in a family-friendly area. One is quite warm and the other much cooler, meaning there is always a pool to suit the weather and your temperature preference. There is also plenty of seating (at least there has been when I've been to the resort) and lots of towels. Other features of the property are lawn games, fire pits, hammocks, and bicycles available for guest use. House of Better, the report restaurant is good, although I'd love to see clearly-labeled vegan options. The spa is also great, with an array of treatments. The office staff are great--super friendly and accommodating, and the office is open 24 hours a day. Calistoga is not very big, but Dr. Wilkinson's is located super conveniently to the main street in town, where all of the restaurants and shopping are. I highlight recommend this property.
• mariarJ3202PB (10/5): Clean comfortable rooms and pools - Grezt place to stay in Calistoga! Clean modern and spacious rooms, 4 pools plus adult only spa that was just great. They have a wine pour on Friday night from different wineries. Customer service is excellent and responsive. The small restaurant and coffee bar is delicious and reasonable. Spa services onsite which we did not use. Highly recommended!!!
• MartenMills (10/5): Always a wonderful experience at Dr. Wilkinson's - Dr. Wilkinson's is such a wonderful experience all around. I stay here at least once a month, and I come back here for a great reason. The guest services are great, the people here are so helpful, polite and engaging, and the pools are always fantastic. I encourage you to enjoy Dr. Wilkinson's!
• shih chi (8/5): -
• James (10/5): - This place was exceptionally comfortable, everything was close by, the hot tub, the heated pool, even the chest board outdoors! It was all good.
• Tania (10/5): -
• Andy (10/5): The accommodations were perfect, the staff was very pleasant. - Location was perfect Nothing comes to mind that was not to like
• Geri (10/5): - Clean, good location, great pools, great spa
• Deisare (10/5): Book it already! - I visited for a quick birthday getaway, and from start to finish, the experience was wonderful. Prior to arriving, I emailed with a few questions and received immediate, thoughtful responses. I also booked a massage and mud bath, and they kindly honored an online discount at check-in. Barbara at check-in was incredibly helpful and welcoming, and we were given a lovely room. We were also invited to a wine happy hour in the evening, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. The restaurant was delicious, and the service throughout the property was impeccable. Overall, it was a perfect birthday experience and truly worth every penny. The mineral pools were the absolute highlight, and I already look forward to bringing friends and family back in the future. Highly recommend.

• Courtney (10/5): -
• Courtney (10/5): If you’re looking for a peaceful and charming oasis in a cute little town with great food and music, look no further tha - It’s so charming and comfortable.
• Shaun (7/5): It was lovely, will return. - The Hot Spring hot tub. The food is overpriced for the quality.
• venkatakris2000 (10/5): Great experience at the spa - I had an excellent experience at the spa today. Thank you Yuri, Rosa, Christina for a first timer and guiding all through the process. It was an incredible experience.
• MarinMom (10/5): Best getaway spot in a perfect location - Great location in town makes this fun resort perfect. Everything during our stay exceeded our expectations. Check in was a breeze, help with our luggage to exactly the room and location we requested was quick, the pools were so well planned - one hot mineral pool in a cool looking covered area, then two outdoor pools with 85 degree and 95 degree water. Kids can use the outdoor pools, and were there this holiday weekend. They were fun to have around. The spa was very good, clean and well-organized. We wore our pink robes to the pools and the spa and didn’t drive a car once over four days. The standout for us was the on-sight restaurant. House of Better should be called the BEST. Cocktails, coffee, breakfast, lunch, snacks, poolside delivery, and amazing service made this the jewel of this place. Dr. Wilkinson’s has a 1950’s funky vibe, but they make sure you have modern, comfy beds, excellent service and great food. I will be back as soon as possible.
• Thane (10/5): - This place is awesome!. Different pools. Different temperatures. Great food. Cool '50s retro mid century look. Totally Central. Love it!
• Ariel (10/5): I loved the mineral pools and the atmosphere. The staff was friendly and courteous. - I loved the mineral pools and the atmosphere. The staff was friendly and courteous. The pricing seemed like it was 20-30 percent higher than it was a few months earlier. Due to that stark increase, I may not stay here again, even though I liked the property very much. I was considering using it as a place to host a retreat, but it’s so expensive now.
• Kate-Alexandra (10/5): The Customer Service was incredible. I came overnight to celebrate my birthday. I was treated like royalty. The temperat - The property was beautifully designed with a sense of serenity and peacefulness
• Melanie (10/5): A great place to unwind. - The gentleman at check in was so friendly and explained all the things about the pools and drinking water. It was pretty cool that they gave an essential oil and provided robes for the hot springs experience. The location was perfect for checking out Calistoga retail and dining.
• Ann (10/5): - 104 temp pool, food and drink on site People using their phones in the pool!
• tf853 (8/5): Hidden Gem - The location is slightly off the beaten path of the usual hectic Napa Valley wine tours. It lies in the valley, but is actually in a more beautiful, laid back portion that in Napa itself. Calistoga is a small town, but it has some incredible restaurants, probably because the Culinary Institute of America is just down the road. There are three pools, cool, warm, and hot. All originate from hot springs so the water is full of minerals. The pools are very relaxing and well kept. The hotel looks a little outdated, but the rooms are nice. Don't expect extravagance, i.e. marble tubs, rich upholstery, etc. However, they have very comfortable beds, nice showers, and a defuser for every room. All of the shops and restaurants are within walking distance. The parking lot is a little hard to find, so I included a picture to assist with that. It isn't a big lot, but there was plenty of parking while we were there. Rocky and Jose greeted us with a smile and were very friendly and professional. The remaining staff we interacted with was fine, but not overly friendly. I recommend this hotel for a quiet, relaxing getaway without all of the glitz and glamour of a big spa or big city. We will definitely go here again.
• Eckenrode (8/5): Staff was fantastic. Pools were good but not working the last day Restaurant was great - Nicely remodeled. Very clean Our delux king was not delux. No table or chairs in the room. Very small.
• Chris (9/5): Kitschy, clean and good value - The rooms are spacious and clean with excellent toiletries. The towels are huge. The pools are warm and feel wonderful, especially the whirlpool. They also have a mini waterfall type faucet. You sit on a stool under it and you can adjust the water temperature as it pours over your beck and shoulders. Heavenly! Breakfast could start a bit earlier than 8 am. But it’s a great breakfast as you get a meal voucher and the food was delicious
• sheilafX2441YZ (10/5): Very relaxing and fun! - This was our second annual girl’s trip. We had a fabulous time. We were very well taken care of and are going back next year!
• Paula (8/5): -
• dkesea5 (10/5): The staff here are FABULOUS - Everyone who works here is so wonderful. Attention to detail, information provided, any needs are instantly met. So enjoyed the people! It's not a fancy place....but it's in a great location and has the basics for sure.
• R1424LAfrankm (10/5): Annual Napa Trip - Fantastic stay with wonderful service. Amy, Jesus and Maralyn were so friendly and helpful. We will stay here next year for our annual Napa trip. 5 Star hands down!!!
• G331XLtanyaw (10/5): I really enjoyed living there - Beautiful and clean me and my family will come back again and also bring family members that's out of town there overall that was a good experience to enjoy when you don't have nowhere to go
• L6776QNthomasl (10/5): Another great stay at Dr. Wilkinson’s! - This resort is my favorite Calistoga resort to stay! Very friendly staff, unique and creative design with wonderful spa amenities!
• Aubrey (10/5): Amazing Walkable Location, Friendly and Helpful Staff - This property was perfect for our girls trip to Calistoga. The staff was exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our stay— both at the front desk and staff working throughout the property. We loved the fresh, filtered water in the lobby for filling our water bottles. Also the mineral pools are so relaxing. The location of the property was walkable to everything downtown. We also loved the diffusers in each room with a variety of scents available. Nothing
• Meander44584011196 (8/5): Great first visit to Calistoga - We enjoyed the vibe, staff, and amenities at Doc's. The rooms and facility is a fun MCM throwback. Saturday night business did reveal that old construction has very thin walls, so if you are noise sensitive I'd request a non-connecting room and possibly a white noise machine.
• U2165TYgeorgiak (10/5): 10/10 atmosphere and service!! Don’t hesitate to stay here - Absolutely blown away by the kindness and helpfulness of the staff here! Everyone was so thoughtful and attentive from the front desk, to the restaurant, to maintenance folks. Special shoutout to the guy who maintains the pool—he was so cool and sweet, although I didn’t catch his name! Rooms were super clean, stylish, and well-appointed. Facilities were clean and tranquil Restaurant was super tasty, great bartenders and drinks! This is the only place I’ll ever stay in Calistoga! Atmosphere and service was 10/10. 🌟
• Roving496875 (10/5): Great place to recharge! - The staff is wonderful, especially Vickie! She was so attentive, kind and helpful. The facility is retro cute, clean and well run. We also had massages at the spa and both Jonathan and Oliver were excellent. Can’t wait to return!
• Khanh (10/5): -
• foodiemefoodieme (10/5): Relax with pools and hot tub in this backyard resort! - Dr. Wilkinson’s is our favorite place to stay and visit in Calistoga. The vibe is relaxed, the staff is attentive and kind, and the pools and hot tub are rejuvenating. A special shout out to Rocchi for always welcoming us back with warmth and sincerity. Hospitality is clearly a focus for this hotel and staff. The House of Better has excellent food and drinks in a low-key outdoor environment. We have stayed here many times!
• Elaine (10/5): - Loved this hotel. Very querky.
• Tania (9/5): -
• ricardolargo (4/5): Motel Quality / Resort Pricing - We stayed using rewards and had enjoyable visit. Would have been disappointed if paid full cash rates. Quirky and great location but property needs further renovations. Only the warmest pool felt mineral, others felt like cold regular pool. Food and bar was very good and reasonably priced.
• Edin (10/5): - Just a very comfortable stay. Clean rooms, and clean property. Parking was convenient and there are alot dining options around the property. Like my daughter said ‘ so many places to sit and relax’ would def come again.
• allanjH4759BX (10/5): Great Service! - Vickie was an excellent server — very kind, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. She made us feel welcome and taken care of, and her positive attitude really stood out. She was a pleasure to have as our server.
• DJW175 (10/5): Mud bath highly recommended - Dr. Wilkinson’s spa treatments were amazing. I did a mud bath and geothermal springs bath. Trina was so attentive and explained everything so kind and patient!
• Diana (10/5): - We loved this stay room was spacious, clean and bed was comfy. Property is great with all kinds of things to do! Also the filtered water in the lobby is a bonus!
• Alla (6/5): -
• Katie (10/5): A three-day reset was just what Dcc W ordered! - So charming! Super comfy beds, adored floating in the mineral pools, restaurant was yummy, and bikes were a blast!
• aaZ8995AB (10/5): Anniversary Celebration Stay - We stayed at Doc's to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. Enjoyed our stay and the new remodel! Deedra really helped to make our stay a very memorable one. She made us feel very welcomed when we checked in. Each time we ran into her, she offered helpful tips. She cares about her guests!! She is 5 star in our eyes! Angie & Steve
• PATRICIA (10/5): - Great mud baths and spa facilities. Safe quiet and relaxing. Great mother-daughter weekend retreat!
• jaroth2u (10/5): - Mineral pools and giant hot tub were superb. Staff were attentive and made sure we had different scents for our in room diffuser. Very close to downtown.
• lorraine1168 (10/5): Cute, comfortable, and quaint - A friend of mine and I stayed at DRW in September 2025. Its location is great - there are lots of shops and eateries, and a bike trail not too far away, not to mention the wine tasting options. The staff was very friendly upon check-in, explained the mineral pool and spa options, and offered incense for the room, which was a nice touch. The room is itself was really comfortable and quiet and was stocked with their signature water and a comfortable robe. They were also nice enough to offer an umbrella when it started to rain. Along with the enjoying the pools and playing cornhole, I had a yummy taco snack at the HoB, and a delish cocktail. I’m looking forward to visiting again.
• Cris (9/5): -
• Jonathan (6/5): - It was fine. Definite authentic old California style. Spa staff was lovely, facilities were institutional. The hotel staff were not overly friendly. The restaurant was mid. Everything very middle of the road an average, so I would say it overpriced for what it was.
• ssilk100 (10/5): Amazing service! - Went above & beyond to make my stay memorable for my birthday & even left me a surprise spa gift. I stayed in one of the cottages & it was very clean & comfortable. The entire staff from the front desk, bartender, spa staff to housekeeping made me feel like a star!
• hslm2025 (10/5): Perfect - Could not have had a more pleasant stay. The staff was over the top, the room was great and the pools were superb. The location and proximity to town made everything walkable. The people here made the stay especially great.
• Derek (10/5): - Dr. Wilkinson’s is the perfect getaway! The location couldn’t be better, right on the main street, with everything within walking distance and incredible wineries less than a 10 minute drive. The pools were relaxing and well-kept, and the staff was beyond friendly and welcoming, especially Jose and Sean who made our stay extra special. Everything you need is right on the grounds, including House of Better, which serves amazing food and fantastic drinks (highly recommend!). This spot really has it all - location, comfort, great amenities, and top-notch hospitality. A+ experience all around - I can’t wait to come back!
• Jeffrey (10/5): - Likes: -the vibe -the pools -the services -the amenities -water and ice accessibility (refill stations readily available!) -the food -malin + goetz amenities (use the lotion even if you hate lotion because it's great lotion) Me no likeys: -one of the pools was too cold to swim in -that we didn't stay longer -we didn't bring the kids and I felt guilty -robe was a little small for my husband Also, wished they had one of those spinners to put your bathing suit in to dry it out faster, but this is just a want not a need. Lovely stay! Can't wait to go back, this time with the kids!
• I2732BTlp (10/5): Loved! - My husband and I went here for a brief "mini-moon" a few days after our wedding. We liked that the location is very much downtown and close to restuarants and shops. We were super impressed with: - Super friendly and accommodating staff - Easy parking - Cute and VERY clean retro inspired rooms - The various mineral spring pools and pool side food and beverage service - Dr. Wilkinson's Spa: Mud baths and massages were 5 stars and is attached to the resort. We came mid-week and enjoyed a pretty relaxed environment with few children so it was very peaceful. The spa experience was our favorite. We did "the works" trestent and were so delighted with the experience, the staff, and our incredibly skilled therapists who did our couple's massages. Would definitely come again.
• X1200DApaulw (10/5): Great cute motel and spa in Calistoga - We loved this location as the rooms had cute little amenities like aroma therapy in the room and Smeg regenerators and microwaves. Had a fabulous first-time mud bath. Three pools with varying temperatures of mineral water. On-site cafe with elixirs and specialty drinks. We had to evacuate Calistoga due to the Pickett fire, so we had to cut our trip short unfortunately. The staff was great in refunding our money and were all very helpful. In our rush to leave, I left some clothes. The guest service manager called to let me know and coordinated UPS to ship it back. Highly recommend.
• Allison (10/5): Our stay was so great I didn’t want to leave. I haven been that relaxed and happy in a very long time. The staff was gr - It was fantastic. Clean, great location, relaxing vibe. Great amenities. Nothing I didn’t like.
• davidsF3429OX (10/5): Return visit after many years away - We had a great stay at Dr. Wilkinson's. It was a wonderful hotel room. The pool was fantastic. We had a full mud and spa treatment, it was all great!
• Kevin (6/5): -
• Elizabeth (10/5): Fun, relaxing hotel for weekend trip with friends - My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at Dr. Wilkinson's! The hotel is cute, mid-century millennial style, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The pools were a highlight with three different pools are different temperatures. There were plenty of lounge chairs around the pool and you can order food and drinks from the restaurant to the pool area. They also have cruiser bikes that you can borrow for free and there's a trail right by the hotel. Recommend staying here!
• abbiebD7409GL (8/5): Great Staff - Edgar was wonderful during our family trip to Napa Valley! From our first day he was helpful, friendly, and always available. We were presented with a bottle of wine in the room as we were celebrating a birthday, and the housekeeping and maintenance staff were quick to address our needs of the room. The House of Breakfast itself was a bit expensive, and there ended up being some confusion regarding the ‘breakfast credit’, however the food service staff were always attentive and approachable. Unfortunately we checked out a day early due to the Pickett Fire, and Edgar was super helpful in refunding our last night. We love Dr. Wilkinsons!
• eric (8/5): - The most wonderful, friendly and helpful staff. Rare to experience these days. Best food in Calistoga IMHO
• Matthew (8/5): Enjoyed the location and amenities to include pools, food and location. - Pools were fantastic, quiet location. Able to relax in a variety of locations on the site.
• brianE5636XW (8/5): Lovely Property - Great location and nicely appointed rooms. The grounds are quite nice with great outdoor spaces. Pools do the trick as well. Front desk staff is great and special shout out to Shawn who - I think - takes care of the grounds and facility. He's got a great attitude and is very helpful... The F&B staff need work. Food is good but the service wasn't friendly.
• susan (8/5): Very good! Sean is awesome! - Location, convenience. The drain in the bathroom had a foul odor. I never reported it though, so they never had a chance to fix it
• Megan (10/5): - Staff was very nice and the hotel has all the amenities you could want. Great access to Calistoga and the restaurant was great!
• 223nicholes (10/5): We came for a girls’ trip and were blown away - We came in for a girls’ trip, and our experience at Dr. Wilkinson’s completely exceeded expectations! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found something special. The entire vibe of the resort is relaxing, stylish, and just what we were looking for to unwind and reconnect. There’s so much to do right on-site—from lounging by the pool and soaking in the mineral baths, to enjoying the delicious food and exploring the beautifully designed spaces. Every detail felt intentional, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. If you're looking for a place to relax, recharge, and truly enjoy your time away, Dr. Wilkinson’s is it. We’re already planning our return trip!
• Ilona (9/5): -
• Artyom (7/5): -
• Mobile779522 (4/5): Overrated - just a glorified motel - 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
• Marc (10/5): - Loved the vibe and the room was nice. The vibe around the hotel was healthy and chill. The bar has good drinks and the kitchen with outdoor seating is perfect for lounging in the sun. Our favorite part was the filtered water available in the lobby and the mineral bath soak pool and cold water bucket dump feature. We will be back for sure.
• L6546POkimberlyl (10/5): Superb Casual Yet Chic Place to Stay - 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!
• Anna (8/5): Fun retro accommodation central to Calistoga central. - The breakfast and coffee was great! We enjoyed the two hot pools and the lounging area. Having two queen size beds in our room was excellent for my best friend and I to share a room. The extra spa experiences were way out of our budget and seemed overpriced. It would be nice to have a few less pricey options to make the stay special.
• Pamela (10/5): - Fun, outdoorsy place. Loved the mudslinger spa treatment!
• James (10/5): - Reasonably-priced option right in cute Calistoga. The staff were exceptionally nice, especially Tammy at the front desk.
• Ajai (10/5): Wonderful spa resort in Calistoga - Great spa and pools. Excellent breakfast/brunch. The rooms were spacious but could use with a little updating. But overall, our experience was great.
• Inspire57000835247 (8/5): Mean staff member - 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.
• vlrain (10/5): Love the Vibe - My two best friends from college joined me here for 3 days/ 2 nights. From the time we stepped into the lobby, we were warmly greeted and welcomed. The staff, decor, amenities are friendly, approachable, calm and relaxed. We enjoyed the three pools- the 104F one during the foggy mornings and the others in the afternoon when the sun came out. There are sitting areas around fire pits, under sunshades, under trees, on hammocks- just wonderful places to sit and catch up. Other guests shared bottles of wine or played cards. If you are looking for a place to reconnect with friends or your partner, this is the place.
• Eunkyung (8/5): Very good -
• Touring13 (10/5): Another Great Stay in Calistoga - 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.
• Michael J (10/5): Another Great Stay - Another great stay at Dr. Wilkinson’s. Great food at the restaurant and the staff, from the GM Jose, to Edgar at the front desk, and Shawn (the man who keeps the place physically running) are incredible.
• Sunshine15176146886 (10/5): Awesome place to relax! - 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!
• LSussi (6/5): Very expensive for a “motel” experience! - 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!!
• Patricia (10/5): - We loved our stay at Dr. Wilkenson’s. The hotel had retro charm with comfortable updated rooms & amenities. Staff was very friendly. Everything was clean. Pools were sparkling. Onsite restaurant, The House of Better, was good & convenient. I indulged in a mud bath & massage and both were wonderful. We can’t wait to visit again.
• emilynnnnn (10/5): Fun spot for a getaway - Casual, fun spot for a weekend getaway. The property has a retro cool vibe, great pools, and a giant hot tub. Great location right in the center of Calistoga and the place felt bustling but not crowded on a nice summer weekend. Staff were super friendly and helpful. There is a resort fee but it includes everything you'd expect (pools, parking, internet, bottled water in the rooms, etc.); I didn't feel nickel-and-dimed on extra stuff. The restaurant felt a little pricey (a breakfast burrito to go was $29 once you added steak to it) but the food was very good. Only minor annoyance: lack of drawers in the hotel rooms — there were hangers, but the only two drawers were on the nightstands. Definitely hope to come back!
• Josh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joshua (10/5): - We had such a relaxing time at Dr. Wilkinson’s. Whatever issues we did have, Rocchi and Jose were very quick to address and were consistently friendly and accommodating throughout our entire 3 night stay. Service at the spa was also top notch - Trina is incredibly experienced and really took care of us.
• Kevin (10/5): - Loved it. Great pools and room. Staff was nice and food was good too. Area is perfect for restaurants etc
• Mary (9/5): Can’t wait to return to sure a wonderful spot. - Location was perfect. Accommodations are amazing. Loved the games and hammocks. The pools were so enjoyable it made it hard to leave.
• Teva (10/5): - It's fun here.
• allisonpve (8/5): Fun Quirky Place - Had a wonderful 3 night stay at Dr. W’s. We had a cottage pool room (not standard room)w a lovely bathroom.Only issue was the noise from the kids in pool & gardener early morning (8am) & ants on desk/night stand. Staff was outstanding esp: Pilar, Sean and Humberto. Use the OpenKey app for texting requests.had $1000 couples massage,MudBath,mineral bath. It was a one time experience.mud bath was odd because it smelled of peat moss. Restaurant on site was ok but better to go to restaurants around town.nice location!
• Pathfinder569956 (10/5): Mid-Century Magic in Wine Country - As a loyal Marriott customer I happened upon this property while browsing the Marriott website. At first I was skeptical -- it didn't look like a typical Marriott, and the retro, Palm Springs style caught me off guard. But to my surprise, it turned out to be a fun, hip, and vibrant oasis right in the heart of wine country. The staff was outstanding and every amenity exceeded expectations. This was a perfect home base for our weekend in wine country. I'm so glad I took the chance!
• Kludv001 (2/5): Happy then not so happy… - The hotel and grounds is cute and entertaining. That’s about it. Customer service is horrible and food/beverages are sub par at best. We were having a nice time until we were attacked by wasps. Not only was personnel not helpful in the situation but they offered zero solutions and completely lacked empathy. We were stung several times as well as the group of people next to us.
