I have been to this hotel over five times and am still very pleased with it. The moment you enter this hotel you feel as if you are in a spa. Yes, I will admitt that the lobby and rooms are outdated, but they are comfortable and pleasing to the eye. The pools are just wonderful. There are four pools-each one suiting a persons needs. There is also a pool bar where you can buy a bag of chips or water. The Rooms are quite large- each has a kitchen with small dining table. The bathrooms are clean and also quite large. There are plates, knives, and etc. in the kitchen as well. I love the outdoor hallways that lead to your rooms. They are filled with fragrant flowers and benches as well as barbeques that several people use in the evenings. The hotel has no restaurant but there are several wonderful ones two minutes away on the main road.

On my third stay last May, I spent 11 nights at the Hot Springs. It's so convenient base to Napa via the back way on Silverado Trail. It's also an easy drive to Healdsburg in Sonoma through the Alexander Valley in Sonoma. It's motelish, but walking distance to wonderful restaurants, food markets, wine stores and other shopping. The mineral pools are heaven on earth. After dark take a bottle of wine to the upper pool deck and stare at the stars. The rooms are drab but it's still good value.

Although the pools were great, the room was shabby and ugly. Not very romantic. The TV was at least 30 years old, the towels thin and worn, and the decor very bad a70's style. Other than being old and outdated, the room was right by the street, and very noisy. For almost $200 a night, it was a rip-off. It's better to stay somewhere nice, and just come there for the use of the pools.

The room was very clean, and we were happy to find a mini kitchen with wine glasses and openers handy. Nice size room and the spa package was dreamy. The mineral pools are enormous and the hotel is a great value. Would stay here again.
