Opinions CALISTOGA INN Calistoga

Great location, and staff. The food was good - I really loved the iceberg salad! Yum yum. Walking distance from our stay. Would return

Our family's cherished destination for over a decade. The resort has undergone significant improvements, offering a range of amenities catering to the entire family. From chicken feed and a badminton court to free yoga, bike rentals, and a spa, they've truly created a haven. Our recent stay at the Marchant house was exceptional, especially for my 2-year-old who spent hours joyfully wading in the heated mineral pool. It was especially nice during the recent rainstorms we’ve had. We look forward to returning to this perfect retreat again and again!

Fun vacation in Calistoga, watching geysers gushing impressively high, soaking in rejuvenating hot springs, relaxing in a mud spa experience, and enjoying every dish from Sam's Social Club restaurant, all while reading up on Samuel Brannan’s stories.

Our favorite hot springs resort in Calistoga! My only gripe with this place is how expensive it is. The poor service you get from the staff- for example, there is no concierge and a lot of the staff are clueless around recommendations for wineries, restaurants, etc. They could do a better job of maintaining the pool. We've often found floating junk in it. And I really wish they would have private tubs available, especially for the larger rooms!

We stayed in the newly remodeled room that was walking distance from all this resort had to offer. My wife lived the real cream and drip coffee maker in our room. Sam's is a great restaurant. There are lots of dining and breakfast options within a short walk. The warm spring pool is a treat. We went every day! The only negative was the slow internet.

We had a lovely evening at Calistoga inn.
The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and offers a nice outdoor seating area with fire pits although we opted to sit inside. Alex looked after us he was really attentive and helped us with wine recommendations. The food was exceptional we ordered beef short ribs, paella and Mac & cheese on the side and we were definitely not disappointed!
The beef meat was so tender, the paella was a generous portion size and the Mac & cheese was some of the best we've ever tasted, it was served with bacon bits in.
Highly recommend!

The lady up front was very rude and the rooms were small and cold.

Beautifully crafted as only one can admire from outside @ the backyard botanical creek (which in itself is a sight to behold) or even the inconspicuously nestled bus stop for that matter. I'm sure from inside The
Experience would be infinite. It's always alive with laughter and joy and the conversations that drift by are positive and intelligent. It's always a pleasure to await my commute through Calistoga. I'm sure this is as to why my Daughter LaJade looks so happy. Thank you Calistoga

My husband and I experience the WORST stay of our lives here. What’s worse is the owners’ refusal to make anything right. Soon after we arrived and were hoping to relax next to the fire, a noxious odor began to infiltrate the cottage. We contacted the innkeeper, who came in and immediately agreed that there was a bad odor coming from the fireplace. She suggested changing to another cottage, which emitted the same noxious odor as the first cottage we were staying in. She said the fireplaces had recently been serviced. We think some harsh chemical was used to clean or service them. The innkeeper suggested that we spend our vacation time finding a cottage that didn’t have a smell, while she attended to other things. That should have been her responsibility. We ended up having leave the windows open all night along in December!

We contacted the inn after our stay and they said they acknowledged that there was a foul smelling odor, but said “It's our sincere hope that our offer of a different cottage and the complementary wine will demonstrate our dedication to ensuring your future experiences with us are delightful and stress-free, in line with the visits you've had in the past.” They offered us a cheap bottle of wine to compensate for a cold, stressful, toxic night. The offer for a “different cottage” was no offer at all: we tried another cottage and it was just as foul smelling due to the fireplaces being serviced. And the innkeeper did not assist us with finding another cottage because she was too busy.

This place used to be beloved to us. This experience has caused us to do further research in the Cottage Grove Inn business to see if we were not the only ones who has experienced this. We read reviews on various sites. Several guests have left negative reviews recently. Some of these complaints are very alarming, such as non-compliance with ADA rules, faulty smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that required a 911 call and a visit from the fire department, fraudulent credit card charges, poor management, customers feeling they were treated rudely by the manager, and an extreme decline in quality in the last year, charging more and offering less.

It appears this business has undergone a change in ownership in the last few years, being purchased from its longtime owners. As returning and longtime customers, we (myself and my husband) feel that we have been disrespected and treated poorly. We hoped that we would be treated with more respect with an offer for a resolution due to this incident. We are reporting this Inn and its owners to the Department of Consumer Affairs and the California Department of Public Health.

For your own health and well-being, we advise to stay away from Cottage Grove Inn.

Stopped in for a drink and a pizza, wonderful service and the prosciutto pizza was amazing.

open on christmas eve

We had lunch here on New Year's Eve. The food was great. Beautiful bar and patio with fire pits. Next to a brook. Great place ????

Loved this place and most things about it. The pool is amazingly heated - I was swimming on Christmas and the days before.

The restaurant is delicious and the staff are great.

We stayed in an "upgraded room" due to being a globalist but there was literally nowhere to put clothes or stuff. The bed side "tables" were like semi-soft puff things so stuff would slide off. The closest is quite small and there was no dresser or anything to put clothes on/in. This is my only real complaint as it just made the room feel odd.

As it should be, the restaurant was closed on Xmas but man the croissants they offered were absolutely phenomenal. Maybe the best I've had outside of a French place.

It's super cute and a fun place to stay with a short walk down to the town.

Hands down best prosciutto pizza
Meatballs soup amazing
And pomegranate spritz to die for it

Enjoyed a great happy hour and dinner at Calistoga Inn Restaurany & Brewery recently. Very nicely friend calamari, tasty fall mixed greens salad, great espresso martini, and good beer.

Great restaurant! Loved the historic photos of Calistoga. Excellent meal.

It was ok. They forgot our oysters which was very disappointing. Our server was MIA a lot of the time. The food was a 4.

Under construction in every way -- totally missed the mark on amenities, pools smell more of chemical than geyser, restaurant closed, bathroom door that doesn't close properly.... Kind staff needs support... Management hopefully will get it together...

Hermoso lugar, realmente iría de nuevo

Precios accesibles y comida deliciosa, que más podría pedir!

My husband and I stayed here recently and we loved it. Our cottage was very sweet - when we arrived, our loaner bikes were out front (sadly it was raining and we didn't get to use them) and we had a personalized postcard greeting us when we got inside the room. The king bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed having a fireplace. One thing we liked the most about staying here was that Calistoga is very charming and walkable. We enjoyed strolling through cute shops and eating pizza at the farmers market. We were in town for a wine-tasting event and Cottage Grove Inn was close enough for us to walk there. Our cottage felt very quiet and private - we will definitely stay there again.

I didn't give the room a higher rating, because I think the rooms could use some updates. The bathroom needed a little TLC and the decor looked a bit tired. Our bed was very comfortable though and the room was cozy.

Ame el lugar es un paraíso ???? me encanta

I had reserved a room for three nights. It wasn't until the day I was supposed to check in that I realized there were shared bathrooms. I called to inquire about canceling the reservation. But I wasn’t able to find any other place to say at. At the end of the phone call, I said, 'No worries, I'll just keep the room.' When I arrived, they all told me that they had cancelled the room without my confirmation, and they had no more rooms available. The customer service there is the worst I've ever experienced. I won't ever spend any money there again.

Calistoga is a cute town, great place to check out. This "hotel" was such a ripoff though. For over 200/night I got a room without any amenities -- no TV, hooks/places to store luggage, very few towels, barely any food/beverage services. The public bathrooms/showers is the worst though, which really makes this place an expensive hostel and degrades the experience. As a male I had to share two bathroom stalls and showers with everyone staying in the hotel--- I would avoid this place unless you are pretty desperate.

Me encanto el lugar fui con amigas y es muy acogedor

My girlfriend and I popped in for lunch on a nice Saturday. We were able to get a table on the patio, and were helped right away. She got an eggs benedict, and I got the turkey and brie sandwich. Both were good and hit the spot after walking around town. Our server was prompt and friendly.

Didn’t stay in the hotel, just visited the restaurant. I would say this place was okay overall. The food was alright, the craft beer was ok, and the service was ok. Plenty of street parking available. Didn’t need a reservation for lunch but I would recommend one for dinner when it gets very busy.
