The excellent location and valley-view setting of this historic property are unfortunately going to waste in this establishment. The current owners have managed to forego the opportunity to offer a unique and desirable inn and have instead allowed the debris and clutter to take over. The breakfast is to be avoided, lest stale Danish and bread appeal. If the construction... More

The only saving grace for this b & b is the view over the valley which is beautiful. This could be one of the best b & b experiences in view of the former grandeur of the house, the view and the family history. Sadly the house and surrounds have been allowed to decline, numerous repairs and improvements are needed... More

AWFUL, WORST b and b ever. we never saw the hostess, just dogs and 1 teenager who gave us the wrong key. the yard and driveway was littered with old junk and cars. the room was dirty and the decor was abhorable. We were worried about our safety at night, so we went into town and booked the Best Western.... More

We never even saw our "hostess". The grounds were litered with disgarded piles of junk. The pool looked inviting, but guests were not allowed to use it. No one to greet us or show us around except for a pit bull and a wiener dog. When we found our room, there was a notice on the door stating we would... More

We stayed at Hillcrest B&B last July and it was a nice and interesting experience.It felt like staying at someone's home. It's a very special place full of history and surely one of the best views on the valley. Debbie and her staff was very gentle, attending and the dogs were great. Our room was spacious (the master bedroom) and... More

This experience made me a bit disenchanted with Calistoga. The "cottage" we stayed in was a shack called "Shangri la". Hot as can be, as no one anticipated our scheduled arrival by turning on the swamp cooler. Bed and Breakfast? Filthy is an understatement. Two GIGANTIC ants nests in the shower, which had not been cared for in months, obviously.... More

A friend and I escaped Y2K in late 1999, and spent two nights here on our grand tour of northern CA. We had spent the day wine tasting through Napa, then had dinner in Calistoga, and finally got to the B&B after dark, so we just made our way to our room and crashed. We found the decor not quite...

Worst accommodations I have ever encountered. Stayed in the house and the entire house smelled of flea and tick spray. Lock on the sliding glass door was broken, but did not matter as I had to leave the door open all night anyway. Would have slept in the car, but it was 35F outside. The electric faux fireplace was no... More

If you have realistic expectations this B&B is a gem. Debbie gave a good rate, a lovely king bed cottage with a lovely private balcony. After a lovely meal in Calistoga, a bottle of wine on our deck late into night we had a very peaceful sleep. breakfast is a communal affair - very homely and delicious. We loved it... More
