Calistoga Inn Restaurant and Brewery

Calistoga Inn Restaurant and Brewery

10/10 Excellent
"A really lovely and unique stay. Reminder that this is an inn! All rooms are up a flight of stairs and there are no private bathrooms. Our room had a sink and a shelf-styke storage by the door instead of a dresser. The bed was super comfy with fresh linens. Everyone was friendly. The location was perfect for a visit to wine country. No complaints here!"
