Calistoga Wine Way Inn — Hotel in Calistoga

The staff was helpful and friendly. As soon as we checked in, Elizabeth upgraded us to a slightly larger room than the one we had booked, since the inn wasn't that busy. She did a good job explaining the schedule of the inn, when breakfast was served, points of interest, etc. The stairs leading to our room were a bit steep, especially with a heavy suitcase (no elevator), but the back stairs were much easier to maneuver. The room was cozy, inviting and nicely decorated. The common area was a great place to hang out and admire the beautiful architecture. The temperature of the inn was comfortable overall. A bit on the warm side in the early evening, but cooled down later. The property in the back was somewhat expansive, built into a hillside, offering a beautiful view of the valley, and lots of nooks for privacy, even a fire pit. Overall, a great place to relax. The breakfast was excellent-frittata and chicken sausage on one day, scrambled eggs and ham the next, all made fresh and delicious. There was fresh fruit, home made yogurt, and granola available for those not wanting to partake of the more robust breakfast food items. The walnut scones were the best-melt in your mouth goodness. Then there were the perks-free wine and sherry was available starting in the early evening. Coffee and tea were always available, along w/chocolates, trail mix and home made banana bread. Cold bottled water (no charge) was available to us, kept in a small refrigerator in the upstairs hall. We could use the refrigerator for our personal use, such as to keep a bottle of wine chilled that we purchased, if necessary. There was even a free on-demand shuttle service, sort of like Lyft, that would take you anywhere within a certain radius of Calistoga. Although we didn't use it, it was nice to know of it's availability. The only down side is the property is on a busy thoroughfare, with heavy morning commute traffic , and parking on the property can be a challenge, due to the parking area layout. Also, when guests are talking loudly, the sound travels through the walls. The up side is the property is in walking distance to downtown, a great starting place to explore the area. We look forward to...

We just stayed at the Wine Way Inn in Calistoga for our Anniversary weekend and the overall review is just ok. We paid a lot to stay in the best room they had, the Lokoya room, quite a bit more than an already expensive Groupon($500+ for 2 nights) but reading reviews, it seemed it would be worth it. We showed up on time, 4pm on Friday, waited a few minutes for owner to run over, let us in, quick 2 minute here is your room, here is this this and this. Then he left. I expected quite a bit more from a bed and breakfast, nice conversation about the area, things to do, etc… He was in quite a rush to leave. There was complimentary wine, which was nice, but the conversation and information would have been better. Our room was horribly noisy, downstairs and right up front, people banging above us and noisy street(I paid extra for this?). Our mini-refrig made a loud noise when it came on every 20 minutes or so, so loud it kept waking us up and we unplugged. The bed was excellent as well as the jetted tub. Breakfast again was a huge missed opportunity, 2 different ladies making breakfast on both mornings, acted very rushed, tried to make conversation but they were not having any of it. One guest even tried to get fruit off of the counter and was quickly scolded it was for tomorrows breakfast, don’t touch. Wow, the look on his face was sad, don’t think he will be back. Maybe we had the wrong perception of the owners or keepers of the bed and breakfast being inviting, telling stories, just overall helpful. Maybe this is the norm and we had wrong expectations. Our first and last bed and breakfast, it will be back to...

Good location close to the main street of shops and restaurants. I believe some rooms may be a little better appointed than others. Ours was nice in that it had sliding doors to walk out to a large patio, with firepit. The room, could use some attention. The mattress and headboard did not align so your pillows would slide off. End tables are tired and need of repair and the room was too small for any dresser for clothes. The bathroom was updated and stylish, but it fell short in that the bathroom door was a bifold closet door, which did not provide a lot of privacy for a small room. I also realize that some rooms have TV's and some do not. I did go back to the website and checked, and it only lists a TV in the rooms that have them. It would be nice to call that out, since it is pretty much a standard feature of any accommodations. This is built and designed to be a B+B, but (due to COVID), owners have not reinstated that feature and provide a voucher to a nice coffee shop. The temporary coffee maker, and refrigerator are awkward in this room, and if they are not going to reinstate breakfast soon, should try to find a better way (add shelfs) to place the coffee set-up. Location is on a busy street with an intersection close by. AM trucks are loud, as the windows are older and not very soundproof. Glad to have been towards the back of...
