Christopher's Inn

Frommer's Review

Ten years of renovations and expansions by architect-owner Christopher Layton turned these sweet old homes in downtown Calistoga into homey hotel rooms. Options range from simple but tasteful quarters (colorful, with impressive antiques and small bathrooms) to huge, lavish abodes (with four-poster beds, rich fabrics and brocades, and sunken Jacuzzi tubs that face a gas fireplace). Most rooms have gas fireplaces, and some have flatscreen TVs (with cable) and DVD players. Those who prefer homes away from home will feel comfortable here, since the property doesn't have corporate polish or big-business blandness. The two plain but very functional two-bedroom units are ideal for families, provided you're not expecting the Ritz. An extended continental breakfast is delivered to your room daily. Tip: For a quieter room, request one away from the street. Also, be warned that they have a no-refund cancellation policy.

Facilities:
Nonsmoking; 2-person massage studio
