I wish there were fewer disposables used, I wish the closet space were separate from the bath area so it would be accessible when one of us had to close the bathroom door. Or that the toilet area had its own door instead. I wish the heating controls worked when we got chilly in the morning. But, all in all, this resort is a very fine and fun place to stay in Calistoga where you don't have to bring all your money, just some of it :-)

Enthusiastic thumbs up: 2 very clean sparkling pools - the large one 82 degrees, the med-size at 92 degrees (ahhhh) and one indoor mineral hot spa, lots of towels available in pool area and room. Mineral water dispensers around to fill up to your heart's content, lovely spacious King (room 210), refillable toiletries from Malin & Goetz, two cans in room for trash and recyclables, adorable 50's style electric kettle and aqua mini-fridge, interesting instant pour-over bags of Vietnamese coffee, excellent layered room lighting, friendly thoughtful reception service at the front desk - Rocky, David, Jose. We found a lovely birthday card for hubby Bob in the room with a discount for two slices of pie at House of Better on the premises. Sadly, no pie that day but we got muffins. Nice breakfast of avocado toast and egg muffin (not included in room price, though).

There is no cell service at the wineries. We Uber to an event in the evening. When we went to leave the event, we realized there was no way to communicate with anyone to get picked up. I wish that was something that was communicated better as aThere is no cell service at the wineries. We Uber to a event in the evening.

Love the mid century, modern retro decor. The rooms were clean and comfortable and cozy. The bar was nice. The staff was friendly.

Sybaritic! 3 heated pools, spa, including mud baths. Unlimited mineral water to drink, comfy robes…..pure fun and pleasure! Great food.

Room furnishings were sparse. The mineral pool was not hot enough. Signage, while amusing, was confusing.

Friendly staff. Convenient location. Excellent breakfast.

Wish the hot tub would have opened earlier as we had an early departure and would have liked a morning soak.

Loved the hot spa tub and breakfast at the cafe. Plus the wonderful water, we were so well hydrated!! And thanks for the sweet pink water bottles!

Only complaint was that our room had an adjoining door and we could hear the people next door through it. Made us a little self conscience but put on music so as to feel more private.

I loved the vibe of the resort. From check in until check out, it's all about relaxing and enjoying your time there. I would happily stay there again. We took advantage of the restaurant, pools, and the spa. I loved the size of the room and how comfortable the bed was.

The grounds services started the leaf blowing at around 7:30 am, so that was unfortunate.

The staff is amazing. The service at House of Better is outstanding. The location can't be beat.

I would have liked some sort of complimentary coffee/tea setup in the morning, rather than the coffee packets in our room. But I did appreciate the high quality teas and (working!) kettle in my room.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the site had personality and the pools were excellent, well kept, plenty of lounging room. Overall a relaxing, welcoming, special experience.

Rented a cabana with resort pass but the curtains around the cabana were in poor condition. Everything else was good.

Accommodations were excellent. Rooms are all in good condition and close to the mineral pools. The restaurant was good and the staff was very friendly.

Our room 111 was in a pretty noisy area, but was close to the stairs.

Great breakfast, good location. Amanda was great and very accommodating .

Never having to see or talk to a staff member at all made check-in and check-out very easy - but it also felt a bit eerie and impersonal. It would be nice if they could find some way to compensate for the lack of a personal touch (e.g., a personal note in the room saying who and how to contact if needed.

Loved the warm mineral water pools!

The light from the ac/heating unit was too bright for me. But I prefer total dark to sleep.

The staff were welcoming. The food was delicious. The pools were relaxing. The treatments were amazing. It felt like a cozy backyard with games and a cookout. Family style.

Seems a bit expensive....appreciate all the amenities and the fact that it's within walking distance of the town but I think it was a bit overvalued.

Food was good but a bit more limited than I hoped. Staff was amazing and friendly. Spa services were stellar!
