The room is very nicely furnished and the grounds are well maintained. I would stay there again. One complaint is that upon arrival at 3.30pm I asked the front desk man for extra blanket and pillow because of recent health issue. He said he was too busy to bring it until after 5pm but he never showed up so I was a bit cold and uncomfortable all night. Oh well.

We popped into town for the day and decided to spend the night. We’ve stayed here before and they never let us down. It’s reasonably priced, clean, and easy. This isn’t a high end frills place but always provides a great place for a nights sleep.

A pet-friendly hotel with updated, clean rooms, with jacuzzi and sauna available during our winter visit. Nice green yard for dog walking, and fire pit running in the evenings made our stay even more enjoyable. Great service and value. Location is perfect for walking to wineries or driving to Calistoga for spas.

Parking was very tight unless you had a small car. The room I was in didn’t have blackout curtains so headlights shone into the window. My room was on the street side so there was a lot of road noise. Room was clean.

We loved it! There are numerous places to stay but when we went we picked it for location and price when we go back in 2 months we will be picking it for cleanliness, friendliness, convenience and for being pet friendly it was the most accommodating clean outside area I’ve seen in a long time! Yes it’s definitely a come back Place to stay. Right in town near restaurants and all the shopping and wineries this small town has to offer but situated in just the right area so not to disturb with traffic noises or foot traffic. We loved it and couldn’t state it enough to the office staff while there.
