Calistoga Spa Hot Springs

Calistoga Spa Hot Springs

Affordable getaway for couples wanting some chill-out.

It's not about the accommodation, which is very basic but about the hot springs and the view from the pools. Each time I enter the city I already feel relaxed. I guess it is due to the hot mineral water that relaxes me instantly, especially with a glass of good wine in my hand.

PLUSES:
*Located in the middle of the town
*Walking distance restaurants, grocery shop (good selection of cheese), and coffees (you can send your significant other to fetch a cup of coffee from across the street after your morning laps in the pool)
*Good speed Internet
*Bathrobes upon request
*Rooms are fairly clean
*Super friendly and courteous service
*In the evening you can sip your wine by the pool, watching the firepit and the stars.
*There are picnic tables with barbeques
*Rooms are fairly clean
*There are 3 mineral pools at different temperatures: lap pool is 80F, middle pool 100F, and jet pool 104F

MINUSES:
*Check-out only till 11:00 - I prefer 12:00
*Super thin floors/ceilings, so you hear every single step from the above rooms
*No toilet brush in the bathroom
*Poor water pressure
*Bad lighting - some dimmers would make a difference and standing lamps.

PRICE:
*Room with Queen Bed $241.44

TIP:
1. I would definitely recommend getting a room on the top floor to avoid hearing pounding above your head.

2. Don't leave anything on the kitchen's counter overnight. The ants will find their way to your goodies.
