Yes clean room with 2 water bottles with tap water. Warm cozy with blankets. Glad we brought our own shower slippers to take showers with. No microwave because they don’t have chef for wood burning pizza oven. Thank you for your support. Go be the glory!

It was fine. Definite authentic old California style. Spa staff was lovely, facilities were institutional. The hotel staff were not overly friendly. The restaurant was mid. Everything very middle of the road an average, so I would say it overpriced for what it was.

Dr. Wilkinson’s is the perfect getaway! The location couldn’t be better, right on the main street, with everything within walking distance and incredible wineries less than a 10 minute drive. The pools were relaxing and well-kept, and the staff was beyond friendly and welcoming, especially Jose and Sean who made our stay extra special. Everything you need is right on the grounds, including House of Better, which serves amazing food and fantastic drinks (highly recommend!). This spot really has it all - location, comfort, great amenities, and top-notch hospitality. A+ experience all around - I can’t wait to come back!
