Very cool spot that really does have a lot to offer other than spa treatment. The pools are great, the grounds are well appointed with sitting areas abound along with games to play. Centrally located with easy access to anything in town. Bikes are offered, we didn’t take advantage of them though. Looking forward to coming back.

Our stay overall was fantastic. Updated rooms, fantastic pools to relax in, and a good on sight restaurant. We did a spa day with excellent massages and mud bath experience.Rooms: clean and modern. The carpet was outdated, but everything else looked new. There was a mini fridge and freezer. The bathroom had great towels, robes, and soaps/shampoos/lotion. Beds were comfortable.Spa: the pools were clean and great to relax in. Massage and mud baths were relaxing. There is also a large hot tub in a covered area with places to sit in the shade.Restaurant: the food was very tasty and there was good selection. The mixed drinks are somewhat limited and very juice heavy.The location is great too. You can easily walk to the grocery store, coffee, restaurants and other shopping.Only one downside was some noisy guests. If it is late at night, please keep it down! The whole hotel doesn’t need to hear your discussion.

Dr. Wilkinson’s Hotel exceeded all expectations during our stay for a wellness event hosted by Self Care Sundays. The boutique hotel offered an unforgettable experience, with morning and evening yoga classes adding a serene touch. The DJ in the restaurant area added to the vibrant atmosphere. Speaking of the restaurant, it delivered top-notch dishes, including the breakfast burrito, salads, and burgers. The rooms were exceptionally cozy, equipped with everything you could possibly need, and the plush robes were a luxurious touch. The mineral pools were a highlight, offering rejuvenation and relaxation. The staff, including Debbie and José, were incredibly accommodating and personable, enhancing our stay even more. Plus, being pet-friendly made our little guys experience just as enjoyable. Situated perfectly on the town strip, we easily explored nearby attractions like the farmers market. Cant wait for our next visit to Dr. Wilkinson’s Hotel.

I was disappointed with the experience at the spa partially because of the price associated with the actual facility. The attendants were great but the facility seemed dirty and didn’t feel like a luxurious experience. My robe was tethered and looked old and used. My slippers did too. The plastic curtains in the mineral bath area either have mud or mold on them which isn’t sanitary or appealing to look at. Once we were done with our spa experience we had to wait 15 minutes in the bathroom/locker room. This was not comfortable or relaxing and I felt like I was in a gym. Once we moved on to the massage, the fire alarm went off 20 minutes into the 60 minutes massage and the masseuse told us this was a normal occurrence. This really interrupted our experience and made us tense when we were supposed to be relaxing. The massage was great but the overall facility ruined the experience.I’ve been to spas that are a third of the price that felt more relaxing and pleasant. This was supposed to be a birthday gift so I was bummed rhat it didn’t feel like a top tier spa experience.The hotel feels like they put a band aid on a trailer park hotel. It didn’t feel luxurious at all. The chairs had been spray painted years prior and were starting to chip. The hot tub water looked green. I broke out in hives after wading in the hot tub. I have pictures of my legs. This made me question the cleanliness the hotel. I wouldn’t come back or recommend people to try either the spa or hotel. Not worth your time or money.

My husband and I enjoyed our 2 nights very much. Rooms are small but redone and nice. Pools are great. Food and drink on property were tasty and fairly priced. We did massage and mud bath which were both very enjoyable.My only complaint is after our relaxing spa experience, we were directly asked by the person checking us out if will you be tipping our recommended 25%?. We felt pressured and that is an insane amount! We stuttered out yes but walked out feeling totally uncomfortable. My plan was to venture back once a month because I really loved the massage therapist. However, that recommended tip works out to basically a dollar a minute. I am a service person and I do 250 dollar services that take a couple of hours. No one tips 25%. And I would never say this to my clients. My plan was to tip massage therapists 40 each and mud bath attendant 60. I am guessing they must pool tips? I dont know. It just left a very sour taste in our mouths and my plan of getting a membership and doing a monthly deal is no longer. Tipping culture is totally out of control and I am tired of being made to feel embarrassed/cheap and not being able to decide on my own what I feel is appropriate.

Positive--Jose at the front desk represents the hotel extremely well. He was hospitable and friendly.-The property is clean.Negatives-We were charged north of $1250 dollars for our 2 day stay. For the price point, I would suggest spending your money at a nicer property.-Staff were overly noisy while outfitting a neighboring room.-The room itself was underwhelming and provided the bare minimum amenities.-I waited for service at the bar for 8-10 minutes while the staff discussed their personal lives and I left after being ignored.-Overall disappointing experience for the price paid. Will not return.

Came here for the natural hot springs pool, stayed for the food and family friendly atmosphere that didnt include children running amok. They did a great job of setting aside a quiet space for adults only. We had a minor hiccup in our stay that was handled quickly and that made our stay all the better.Theres a great grocery store right across the street so if you want something that isnt available from the kitchen, its right there for you to take advantage of. The main street is like any cute resort town with lots of art galleries and restaurant/taverns in case youre looking for somewhere else to hang out.Well definitely be coming back.

My recent visit to Dr. Wilkinsons Spa left me utterly disappointed and vowing never to return. As someone who appreciates the serenity and professionalism of spa treatments, I can confidently say that this establishment falls far short of expectations.Firstly, the coed lockers were a major turn-off. Privacy is paramount in a spa setting.The treatment itself was nothing short of chaotic and unprofessional. Upon entering the treatment room, I was greeted by a technician who seemed more interested in hurrying me through the process than providing a genuinely relaxing experience.As for the treatments themselves, they were far from enjoyable. I am not sure how they estimate the treatment time for the Mudslinger Package as 60 minutes considering the mud bath is 15 mins, the mineral bath is 15 mins, and it includes a 3 minute sit in a steam room. The facial mask listed on the package is just given to you to apply while you sit in the mineral bath. The blanket wrap is a plain sheet draped over you for 5 minutes after the treatments. The noise level was also unacceptable, making it difficult to relax and unwind. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the facilities left much to be desired, raising serious doubts about the hygiene standards upheld by the spa.After enduring the rushed and lackluster treatments, I was dismayed to find that the changing room lacked even the most basic amenities one would expect from a spa. No hair dryer, no extra towels, no body sprays and no lotions. It was a stark reminder that I had been duped into a tourist trap masquerading as a legitimate spa.This place is simply not worth your time or money.

Super cute vibe. Great amenities (restaurant, pools, lawn games and endless water fillers!) and can’t be location. Perfect for a ladies weekend but I’d go back as a couple too.

This is the OG hot springs resort in Calistoga, conveniently located in the middle of everything. My favorite part is the indoor pool sized hot pool with jets. Note that its adults only and nowhere near the family friendly pools, which is great unless you didnt bring a babysitter. :)Favorite moment was poolside food and beverage service. Best fries ever, and overall excellent restaurant. Everything has been updated and modernized while still retaining its old school motel feel.Standard rooms are a bit small and occasionally that old school motel feel is not a positive, but overall a wonderful experience. Shout out to the staff who went out of their way to help us rectify a minor problem.
