Fodor's Expert Review Calistoga Motor Lodge and Spa
1880 Lincoln Ave., Calistoga, California, 94515, USA
About half the lodge's rooms, decorated in mid-century modern style, date to its 1947 origins as a roadside motel, with the newer remaining ones (the most recent scheduled for completion by late summer 2023) edging this quasi resort into budget-boutique territory. With the MoonAcre Spa and Fleetwood Calistoga restaurant, multiple geothermal pools (one adults-only), the hotel provides decent value with its lower-end accommodations and a touch of class at the upper end. Amenities include comfortable beds, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen HDTVs.
PROS
- 10-minute walk to downtown shops and restaurants
- geothermal mineral pools
- above-average restaurant and spa
CONS
- some street-side rooms pick up traffic noise (ask for a room in back)
- best rooms pricey in high season
- some rooms could use a refresh
