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.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent place to stay. Everything was great. The only two TINNNNY things I wish were better were the food at their little restaurant and the water pressure in the room shower. Besides that, place and staff are exceptional and I highly recommend staying here!
