Calistoga Motor Lodge & Spa, A Jdv By Hyatt Hotel

“NO EV charging!”

Cute hotel so far but NO EV charging onsite which is an issue for many! If this State is supposed to go all electric, hotels need to get with the program. Also, no Tesla chargers in town. Charging down the street at a very slow charger! Cute, clean room. Bathroom sink counter is very small, no pl… more

Cute hotel so far but NO EV charging onsite which is an issue for many! If this State is supposed to go all electric, hotels need to get with the program. Also, no Tesla chargers in town. Charging down the street at a very slow charger! Cute, clean room. Bathroom sink counter is very small, no place to put toiletries. The TV is nice…I’m trying to reach the 200 character minimum…

“Good but not five star, need to work on some things and has potential.”

Started our California vacation at the Calistoga Motor Lodge for three nights. We are big Hyatt people and try to use our points when we can to save on trips. The bad: 1.

Started our California vacation at the Calistoga Motor Lodge for three nights. We are big Hyatt people and try to use our points when we can to save on trips. The bad: 1. Breakfast doesn’t start until 8 on weekends and not served at all on weekdays, which is nuts on two counts: globalists get breakfast and we were not offered any equivalent credit and also bad for out of town folks who maybe wake up early due to time change. 2. Housekeeping wasn’t every day, not sure if this was a mistake or not, and not communicated. 3. Only gave us two bath towels, at a resort? 4. Bathroom counters are tiny and essentially nowhere to put your toiletries. 5. They offer pour over coffee but not a keurig or a nespresso which on vacation is a nice convenience. 6. Charge a resort fee (globalists don’t pay on award stays) but there is no gym, no grounds really to speak of, just a pool and some yard games (and bikes that we never saw anyone use). This is not a resort, it’s a motor lodge. 7. Hotels need to stop doing the half shower glass door. 8. This is not a Cat 6, Hyatt. The Good: 1. Restaurant surprisingly good, pizzas excellent. 2. Welcome drink 3. Location right off the Silverado trail and a nice walk in the mornings into town 4. Hot tub/pools after a long wine tasting day 5. Friendly service Ultimately, this is a perfectly acceptable hotel but Hyatt and management have some things to think about. This hotel is not worth either cat 6 points or some of the egregious peak season pricing. But it could be excellent if they address some of the challenges.

“Could use a few tweaks but overall okay”

Room 121. Two queens. Apparently all the queen rooms in the older style face the main road and are nosier than my last stay, which was a king room around back, 110. Major complaints were the mini fridge is way too loud, making it hard to sleep through the hum at night. My two complaints from my las… more

Room 121. Two queens. Apparently all the queen rooms in the older style face the main road and are nosier than my last stay, which was a king room around back, 110. Major complaints were the mini fridge is way too loud, making it hard to sleep through the hum at night. My two complaints from my last stay from two years ago remain— mattresses are old and need to be replaced and they should have hooks to hang wet suits in the rooms. Seems like the transition of the property to the Hyatt change occurred in the past two years since my last visit, although maybe I didn’t notice last time. For the price range in Calistoga, best option with a pool unless you want a major price upgrade to Indian Wells next door.
