Wonderful stay in a beautiful location with a great kids pool and restaurant despite dated rooms.
Pros:

We lived being able to have our dog stay with us. The kids pool was nice with cabanas for free.

Cons:

The older motor lodge rooms are showing their age. The bathroom is tiny. The fixtures are old. The shower dripped all day. There are no surfaces to place a toiletry bag. No hooks or space for towels. There are no phones so you call the front desk on your cell phone. The front desk answered the phone about 25% of the times I called.

Will stay here again on our next trip to Calistoga!
Pros:

We stayed in the camper studio for a long weekend. It was a clean and comfortable room with plenty of space. Amenities were great. The pool was lovely and so were the spa services. The restaurant had great food options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Downtown is about a 15 min walk and even faster bike ride away. Loved being able to rent a bike at the front desk. All of the staff were so welcoming and friendly.

Cons:

The shower in the camper studio is small and the curtains didn’t really contain water from splashing onto the floor.

Cute paint job didn’t make up for ants & noise
Pros:

We stayed here because we saw it was dog friendly and looked great online. The paint and decor was cute and there were some amenities but the pros didn’t make up for the cons. We were really disappointed. There were ants in the room, stains on the carpet, and the food was wildly overpriced ($50 for an egg dish, fruit and coffee). The walls were thin and we woke up to our neighbors at 3am. The air conditioning didn’t really work so it was hot. We talked to them at checkout and, to their credit they did waive the pet fee, but weren’t overly helpful. Wouldn’t stay again.

Cons:

I took my pet and when I paid it didn't say any price, when I arrived at the hotel they charged me 100 dollars for the dog very unfair because they never informed about that charge

Pros:

The bed is comfortable

Cons:

The hotel had no room service. The room had no view. The only view we had was the walkways. We expected more for what we paid for. We only got 2 bottles of drinking water on the 1st day. They didn't give us any drinking water after that. Room was not properly cleaned

Take your money elsewhere in Calistoga
Pros:

Good location in Calistoga

Cons:

My husband and I recently spent over $1,700 for a two-night stay in the King Retro Classic Camper Studio, expecting a premium, relaxing boutique experience. Instead, we were met with a series of structural, cleanliness, and service failures that are completely unacceptable at this price point.

Room & Cleanliness Issues:

Pests: Our first assigned room had a live cockroach in it, forcing an immediate room change.

Maintenance Failures: The toilet in our second room broke, forcing my husband to reach into the tank with his bare hand to fix it. Additionally, the shower constantly dripped water, and the carpet throughout the room looked incredibly worn and dirty.

Lack of Comfort: The table that converts into a bed was stiff, unforgiving, and highly uncomfortable.

Check-in Chaos & Security Concerns:
When we went to enter our second room, the door opened to a staff member who was not housekeeping. She immediately started screaming at me, saying, "This room isn't ready, I told them it's not ready!" It was incredibly jarring. When we asked management about it, their story kept changing—first claiming she was removing a crib, then claiming she was removing "honeymoon items" like champagne. The lack of transparency and the aggression from staff was highly unprofessional.

Property Amenities:
The entire property felt severely understaffed. Trying to enjoy the facilities was an exercise in patience; it took a full 20 minutes just to order and receive a single drink.

For the premium price this lodge commands, guests should expect luxury, or at the very least, basic cleanliness, working plumbing, and polite staff. We left incredibly disappointed and will not be returning.

We enjoyed staying at the Lodge with our group of 17. There were plenty of spaces to gather and enjoy our time together. The staff was friendly and sccomodating. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
