9.8/10 Exceptional! (6 reviews)
We stayed at the Appellation Healdsburg this past weekend and really enjoyed the newness and the great service provided by the hotel and staff. As you'd expect with any new hotel, there were a lot great things including the food, evenings by the many great firepits, and the beds (which were super comfortable!). A few things however on our wish list include more food options for the pool menu, as it was confusing that you can order also from the restaurant menu but it was a different menu that you needed to ask for. Also, wish the pool was heated as it seemed way to cold for most to go in. Lastly, there was leftover dirty plates from room service that was sitting outside the rooms from when we checked in to the next morning. Overall, a great experience albeit a few growing pains. We will be back!
