UpValley Inn & Hot Springs - Hotel in Calistoga - 1865 Lincoln Ave, USA

The hotel is close to downtown, the rooms are very modern and nice. The pools are dated and need much better care. Chlorine levels in the water are excessive, so couldn't enjoy the sensation of soaking in mineral hot spring water, instead got out with dry skin and red eyes. The dry sauna was not hot at all, but the steam bath worked, although it didn't smell too great.

Positive: Most of the town was within walkable distance. Sauna and steam room were a nice bonus and appeared clean. Front desk/checkin has an automatic coffee machine, making it easy and quick to get a coffee for the day. Negative: Somewhat outdated. Tv had poor reception. Ceiling/floors must be thin, the people above me sounded like they were walking elephants or playing basketball. No fitness center.

Rooms are remodeled, clean and reasonably well designed, ours was missing a bulb in the bedside lamps, the fridge in the room isn’t covered and the light illuminated the room and in blue light until we covered it up. The grounds however seems shabby and rundown, all of the pool coping is damaged and dirty looking. The thermal pool Is lukewarm, and the hot tub is nearly cold. The steam room is nice, but the dry sauna takes forever to heat up. The water pressure in the showers is non-existent.

Positive: The rooms, the beds and the location Negative: The pool area,needs to be updated, it looks old and needs resurfacing, especially the Hot tub. Furniture is fine, the steam room and hot room were all clean and well maintained, as well as the suites, the pool area does not match the well-maintained rooms

Comfortable bed, modern room, loved the sauna, walking distance to downtown, nice staff, unpretentious. A great find! Will definitely stay again.

What we like most: Room: Eco-friendly, reusable in-room real cups and glasses, bottled shampoo/body-wash, very comfortable beddings, walk-in shower stall, robes & plush towels, bright & ample lightning, Star-bucks pods, Keurig coffe machine, our balcony overlooking the open-field facing the mountain, thanks much to Dusdee who upgraded us to this second-floor #220 room (27Nov2023 night) Public area: serene understated design and vibe throughout Upvalley Inn premise, even the birds are chirping happily in and out of the trees in their inner courtyard, starbuck machine in the front office, brilliant water machine, open-space geothermal whirlpool & pool, steam sauna Something to consider for the management: Some white in-room cups instead of black so the cleaners can see when they're dirty (ours have crusted coffee stain). Maintain the whirlpool, now only 2 out of 5 are functioning We had one of the after-Thanksgiving great Choice member only promotional pricing, we certainly would come back and enjoy stay in UpValley Inn Calistoga on our next trip. Thank you!

As for the room, it was clean. Decor/ ambiance - I'll just say 'plastic chairs'. Mineral pool-good luck. Want a massage? Don't ask for recommendations unless you want to spend $200 for 60 minutes. I have no need to return.

I like the hotel room, sauna room, and steam room. The only bad thing is that the pools are a bit outdated, and the water in pools are not hot enough. Especially, the Jacuzzi pool should be warmer.
