This is my third stay at Docs and it never disappoints. The rooms are clean and quiet, the mineral pools are 3 different temperatures, the bar and restaurant are good. I was gifted with a nice bottle of Napa wine since it was my birthday. I like the close proximity to the historic town of Calistoga for a after dinner stroll and ice cream cone. Will definitely come back!

The room was so clean and retro decorated. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Jose from the front desk deserves a special thank you since he let my friend and I stay after hours in the spa. The food was delicious, and easy since they provided poolside delivery. This was a perfect relaxing girls trip.
