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!

Likes: -the vibe -the pools -the services -the amenities -water and ice accessibility (refill stations readily available!) -the food -malin + goetz amenities (use the lotion even if you hate lotion because it's great lotion) Me no likeys: -one of the pools was too cold to swim in -that we didn't stay longer -we didn't bring the kids and I felt guilty -robe was a little small for my husband Also, wished they had one of those spinners to put your bathing suit in to dry it out faster, but this is just a want not a need. Lovely stay! Can't wait to go back, this time with the kids!

Fun, relaxing hotel for weekend trip with friends

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at Dr. Wilkinson's! The hotel is cute, mid-century millennial style, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The pools were a highlight with three different pools are different temperatures. There were plenty of lounge chairs around the pool and you can order food and drinks from the restaurant to the pool area. They also have cruiser bikes that you can borrow for free and there's a trail right by the hotel. Recommend staying here!

Loved the vibe and the room was nice. The vibe around the hotel was healthy and chill. The bar has good drinks and the kitchen with outdoor seating is perfect for lounging in the sun. Our favorite part was the filtered water available in the lobby and the mineral bath soak pool and cold water bucket dump feature. We will be back for sure.

Another great stay at Dr. Wilkinson’s. Great food at the restaurant and the staff, from the GM Jose, to Edgar at the front desk, and Shawn (the man who keeps the place physically running) are incredible.
