This is a boutique hotel with 33 rooms (I believe) and a few cottages. The main building is a 2-story, registered historical landmark. The hotel is over 100 years old and it's maturity is part of its charm. There was some work being performed in a guestroom on the 2nd floor but they worked on it for short periods every day. Love the strategy. There is no insulation on guestroom doors so it's easy to hear conversations and heavy slamming doors. There is no elevator so the 2nd floor doesn't appear to be Accessible. There are rooms on the 1st level however. The jacuzzi was wonderful and hot Tuesday morning but lukewarm on Thursday morning. Front desk staff state every now and then a guest inadvertently turns it off, and did so Wednesday night by pressing the Emergency button (instead of the timer for the jets). Bummer. It took hours for it to reheat. Maybe a sign for the jets could discourage that from happening again. Check In & Staff: Male staff were friendly and helpful - especially Manny!! The hotel does have a luggage cart but it won't help those staying on the 2nd floor since there is no elevator. However 2 of the guys volunteered to follow me outside to the car to retrieve my luggage. Soooo much appreciated! They not only carried them upstairs to my room but came back to carry them again when I relocated to a different room. They wouldn't even except a tip! Thanks guys! My heros. Other staff: The female staff at the front desk wasn't as friendly but maybe she had an off couple days. No eye contact, acknowledgement, or smile. She did engage however when spoken to. All other staff - housekeeping (especially), maintenance, painters, etc., were genuinely friendly and helpful. It made my stay relaxing which was much needed! Thanks again. Breakfast: Staff prepare a daily breakfast tray that's delivered to each room at your preferred time. Breakfast consisted of FRESH and DELICIOUS breads, lemon cake, a tangerine, and a warm pot of mild-blend coffee. Room: Towels were fluffy, soft, good-smelling, and appeared new! The linen and robes were fresh and clean. The room was well furnished and the environment inviting. The bed was on the firm side but was very comfortable. I had to remember not to sit on the edge too long though because the ribbing on the edge of the mattress hurt. There was no bottled water in the room but there was a carafe to be filled with ice/water at the Hydration Station located on the 1st floor. It would have been nice to have a Station upstairs too or bottles of water for upstairs guests. Having a mini fridge and safe in the room was a nice touch. A microwave somewhere for guests (use) would have been nice for reheating leftovers. Window screens would have been nice to enjoy fresh air in the room without bugs. Bathtub stopper should probably be replaced because it was old, discolored, and soiled. Bathroom walls could use a little touch-up paint but none of those issues were big deal breakers for me. The things that could have definitely been better in the room were the loud bathroom fan (and the inability to turn it off independently from the light switch) and the hum from the mini fridge. The fridge clicks on/off 24/7, and at night when its quiet the hum is annoying. Glad I brought adapters for electronics since there are standard electrical outlets only, and no place to plug in USB cords. Check Out: Payment for your room is deducted from your credit card at the beginning of your stay when you check in. To check out you can drop your room keys in the box at the front desk. I chose to wait (10 minutes) for staff to return to the desk for a receipt. Value: I didn't visit the hotel spa this visit. However even with the Spring Special the hotel seems a bit overpriced, and without the spa is probably closer to a 3-star hotel. Caveat though is that everything in Calistoga appears to be overpriced - after all it's a resort town. Love the peace and tranquility though. Overall a really nice stay and I definitely recommend. read more

For Mom's birthday in December, 2022, I treated her to a mini vacation to Calistoga, staying at the Mount View Hotel & Spa. BOOKING: Below are our hotel RESERVATION DETAILS: Arrival Date: December 21, 2022 Departure Date: December 23, 2022 Average Room Rate Before Tax: $191.25 with a 15% AAA discount Room Type: Petite Queen Guestroom Total Room & Tax: $440.62 Deposit Policy: Deposit required of first night's stay plus tax ($233.27) and any hotel guest packages to secure reservation. I booked our room (initially for checking in on December 19 and checking out on December 21) directly via their website, paying a $233.27 deposit, but after reviewing the Reservation Confirmation, had to reach out to the team because the 15% AAA discount off of the $225/night rate was erroneously calculating to $202.50/night instead of $191.25/night. Guest Services confirmed that there was a glitch in their system and they quickly corrected the error. A couple of days later, I reached out again to request to move our stay dates. The request was granted without issue. HOTEL: Mount View Hotel and Spa​ is a Mission Revival style boutique hotel and historical Landmark nestled in the heart of Calistoga. No onsite parking lot; however, we were able to easily find free parking nearby. Upon entry, visitors are greeted by the warmth of the inviting lobby and vibrance from its eccentric interiors. With peppy Art Deco décor and furnishings, the inn boasts a charming ambiance that takes guests back to the 1920's and 1930's era. We stayed on the second floor in Room 221, a chic bedchamber with nods to the early 20th century, furnished with a high-quality, comfortable bed, flat-screen television, espresso machine, fridge, and glassware for self-catering. HOTEL SERVICE: The front desk staff, especially Manny, was extremely friendly and helpful. One night, when I couldn't find unmetered parking, Manny assured me that parking overnight in the metered spaces along the front of the hotel on Lincoln Avenue would not trigger a citation, even during the metered times. Seeing that I was apprehensive to do this, he promised to cover the cost of a parking ticket, if I would receive one. He was right; the timed metered parking was not enforced the next day. The complimentary light coffeehouse-style continental breakfast with fresh coffee, tea, fruit, juice and pastries, delivered directly to our room each morning was also very nice. TRUE SPA CALISTOGA: The whimsical accoutrements continue in the spa. No showers, but small, private lockers with robes and slippers are assigned to each patron. Since we were staying at a spa hotel, we booked appointments for restorative spa experiences, for Thursday, the 22nd, at 2:00 PM. It was very convenient to stumble downstairs for facials and revitalizing body treatments + massages. Our appointments were for the Detox + Glow (90MIN) (BODY THERAPIES) package, a relaxing combination of upper body massage (neck, arms, and shoulders) paired with a facial focus using Blue Beautifly Organic Skincare alongside the Bentonite Clay Mud Mask to nourish the body and skin head to toe. 90 minutes for $280 included a fully body massage. I was assigned to technician Rosa Cisneros who was very nice. The sessions were soothing and relaxing; however, Mom and I were confused at the conclusion, thinking that we were still to receive a full body mud mask or wrap, as per the description of the Detox + Glow package. Due to no mud mask, we were given a 15% discount. VERDICT: Mount View Hotel & Spa is a charming establishment and perfect place to slow down time and enjoy a respite. read more

This was my first stay and I booked my next stay within hours of checking out. That is how wonderful my stay was! We stayed in room 112 on the ground floor overlooking the bar. I was worried at first since many reviews complained about the noise from the bar next door. Yes, you can hear the music but if you have the tv on, you can barely hear it. The music ends around 1030pm. The rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable. Each room has a mini fridge, hair dryer and extra linens. The breakfast breads, fruit and coffee were a lovely way to start our day. The staff are amazing! From the front desk to housekeeping to the spa therapists, they were friendly, professional and made us feel welcome. We got massages, a Brazilian sugar scrub and a private sound bath and each service was incredible. Shout out to Dylan and Kelssea! The 24 hour geothermal hot tub and heated pool were heaven in the winter. We liked that the outdoor space was set back from the hotel so none of the noise carried into the rooms. There's lots of lounge chairs and a bar that I think is only open during the summer. Other guests said you could watch the summer outdoor movies at the bar next door from the pool! Street parking was easy and safe, and you can walk to restaurants, boutique shops and other resorts. Not having to drive anywhere once we arrived was a huge plus. And there's a grocery store on the same block. My only concern during our stay was the step up to the shower which was also tiled. There aren't any grab bars which made me nervous. There are ADA rooms so definitely book those if a step-up shower is a concern. Overall, I am obsessed with this hotel and can't wait to come back. read more

You won't believe this. But on first night a horrible banging sound is coming from outside our cottage room. Front desk claims to have zero experience with this before. They fixed it in the morning was a plumbing issue. All in all five stars because I appreciated how they handled the issue and the hotel tub is mineral water and I loved it. The big pool is fresh and clean and it's fun to hop back and forth. Perfect temps. This hotel is cute and the people watching from the balcony rooms can't be beat! read more

Mount View Hotel & Spa - Hotels Near Me - Calistoga, California

Totally loved the vintage but modern vibe of the hotel and the art deco artifacts in the lobby.it would be challenging to find a better situated spot as it's next to the grocery store (and an ice cream shop) and an easy walk around Calistoga's main artery. There are rare occasions when service stands out as gold standard and the Mount View staff is one of those. Everyone was genuinely welcoming and helpful. Usually I pack an Aeropress and my own coffee but not this time -- the Illy espresso machines in the room produce a superb espresso with crema. If that's not your jam you can opt for the complimentary coffee or tea brought to the room in the morning with a variety plate of the likes of sliced pound cake and banana bread. The hot spring and pool feel secluded from the main thoroughfare and the whole area was clean (maybe I was so relaxed I forgot to snap any pics). The air conditioners were astonishingly efficient at quickly cooling the room. Will definitely stay here any time I'm in the area. read more

Service - excellent! We arrived around 1pm on a Sunday and were allowed to check in early. We were in a first floor Queen room #123 . Room was comfortable but with no real natural light as the windows were frosted out. Large TV with lots of channels. Small bathroom but shower had two separate shower heads and handles! Employees were friendly and accommodating. Location is probably the best feature here right on Lincoln in the heart of downtown. Can walk to shopping,restaurants, bars and best of all next door is Robert's Tropical Table. They also have an adjacent rum bar and a sports bar however hours are limited. Another amazing feature is the large pool which is heated and the equally good sized hot tub. Take advantage of their fun cruiser bikes which are available for complimentary use for 2 hours. We toured around town and then enjoyed a light breakfast at Sarafonias. Highly recommend this comfortable and quaint hotel in the heart of downtown Calistoga! Will obviously be returning! read more

Our room didn't look like the pictures online. The room was very dusty, the bathroom sink was dirty and I had to clean that and the marks all over the doors myself. The pool area is pretty cute and the location is great. We never received our continental breakfast delivered to our room one day. The staff are helpful. It didn't bother us much but it's next to a brewery which was loud. read more

Very cute hotel in downtown Calistoga! We loved our room with the old school charm. The tub did need to be refinished but it was the only part of the hotel that we didn't love. The room was AWESOME! and we were able to have coffee and breakfast delivered to the room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was much bigger than others we have stayed at in the area. We will absolutely be back! read more

We loved staying here and look forward to coming back. - Friendly and helpful staff - Spacious room - Pool and Hot Tub were great and open 24 hours - Convenient location - Robes in the room were handy - Breakfast was small but yummy and it was nice that it was delivered to the room - I liked the old building and historical looking furniture in the room read more

I've been coming to Calistoga since I was a child, and I've stayed at this hotel for several years. I supported them throughout COVID and often came here to celebrate my birthday for a relaxing getaway. Unfortunately, this stay was anything but relaxing. When I called to reserve the room, I was told they could not match any pricing and that I would need to book through a third-party for a discount. I followed their advice, which turned out to be a huge mistake. If you book through a third-party, expect to be given the worst room possible. We checked in later in the afternoon and were assigned room 229, which is located right next to one of the hotel's generator. Whether the window was open or closed, there was constant noise from the generator, fan, and motor all night long. On top of that, the bed slid around on the wooden floors because there was nothing to keep it stable. When I brought these issues up, the person at the front desk showed little concern and repeatedly just said, "Sorry to hear that," without offering any real solution. In the morning, there was no complimentary coffee, which they used to offer in the past. I barely slept and, unfortunately, my birthday evening was ruined. I would strongly advise against booking through a third-party and not to expect much from this hotel anymore. This place has changed, and it no longer feels like they care about or value loyal guests. read more

On 5/6/2025 my wife and I had come to the Mount View Hotel Calistoga. We stayed in room 110. The room looked nice, the tv was good and the white fluffy blankets felt nice. When we pulled back the sheets and layed down to go to sleep, my wife said the sheets made her feel itchy. At about 5 pm the next day, 5/7/2025 ,we were getting ready to go out when my wife saw and felt the Cockroach crawl on her then she jumped up and it landed on the blanket( Of which I have photos ) Staff accommodated us with a new room which didn't have Itchy sheets but my wife still didnt feel comfortable. They offered to get us a bottle of wine and something to drink to compensate plus they said they were going to refund us something for the incident (we dont drink so we did not get the bottle of wine). Two nights at this hotel was 582.90( just for reference) When I woke up and came downstairs and spoke to the attendant on staff and told him about the cockroach incident I asked what the hotel could do for me and my wife ? There was a man with a beard at the front desk who told me ,"oh, those come from the restaurants and they tend to scurry about"(in a Nonchalant manner kinda blowing me off and said the manager would be there in an hour.He said it like this happens all the time but when I looked at the Reviews online for the hotel there was no mention of cockroaches in the hotel. He blew me off like it was no big deal. For almost 300 hundred dollars a night I am appalled that this is the response I got from a staff member. The day before It was a lot more apologetic. It was a lady and a man. The staff were super accommodating, but the guy this morning acted like it was no big deal. When I spoke to the manager that morning he gave us a $100 discount for the room which didn't seem fair. I did not feel like arguing with him right then in there about it because my wife and I were trying to enjoy our vacation. It felt like a spit in the face, like my wife didn't matter. I hope the people that read this including hotel staff, learn to treat patrons of your facility with more respect. I get to go on vacation once a year. We chose this spot specifically, this was our experience. read more

Mount View Hotel & Spa - This is the cockroach. I spoke about in my review in room 110 - Hotels Near Me - Calistoga, California

We always have a great time there! It became one of our favorites when we felt like we got priced out of Indian Springs (we still have a $600 gc we've had since Covid because their pricing just jump the shark). But with that we found Mount View. And there's spa and pool are open 24 hours. It's like they understand we're adults. And the coffee and pastries they bring to your door in the morning is such a great touch!! read more

2nd time here. Very clean. Friendly service. Everything we needed was available. Love the hot tub and pool. It's very convenient to have a bar right there too. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Stayed here thinking it was a cute boutique hotel in downtown Calistoga, however, upon arriving to the hotel, and given our room key, we discovered that this was not worth the value. We had requested a queen mattress and, upon looking at the bed, it was clearly a full mattress at best. I took it upon myself to look at the tags for the sheets, and came to discover that the mattress protector was way bigger than the actual mattress itself thus proving it was not the right size for the bed. The concierge tried to convince us that the bed just looked smaller because the room is small (not wrong the room was tiny), but by that logic, if the room was small, wouldn't the bed look bigger? The mattress was completely sunken in the middle and woke up with aching backs. I would definitely not recommend this hotel, if my life dependent on it. Furthermore, looking around the room, there were serious, dents, scrapes, and poor upkeep of the room by hotel management. At best , this was a five star experience in a Third World country. -10/10 read more

Recently stayed for an overnight to celebrate an Anniversary. The Mount View Hotel is an establishment we have chosen to stay for years. It's in need of some upkeep in the suite room we occupied. The grounds are well kept and the front desk staff were friendly. The hotel is centrally located in the heart of the town which makes it accessible to all Calistoga has to offer. There is a spa but was closed the night we stayed. I realize January is an off time to be in wine country but I just felt we were not seen as hotel guests. Might check out other places in the area on our next visit. read more

everything needs to be improved the rooms need updating. manager good but owners not interested in updating their property emailed manager-- got nada--- n we used to stay here alot--- no more!! read more

This is an older property that has been well maintained. They have a private pool area and a thermal hot tub. This area is open 24 hrs and is quite delightful on a warm summer evening to sit under the stars. The location of this property is on Lincoln, the Main Street in town. There is a nice park area behind and a block away from the hotel that has a farmer's market on Saturday mornings. This property can also charge electric cars, including a Tesla charger (but not a super charger) The bed was super comfy, didn't hurt my back. However, if you will be staying longer than a night, I recommend renting the larger room. When they mention the "cozy" queen bedroom, that can be interpreted to mean hardly any room to walk or move around. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay with super helpful and friendly service. They also offer coffee or tea and breads delivered to your door in the morning. read more

For being an Historic hotel, you can't expect it to be the Ritz Carlton. It is what it is. The staff is very hospitable & go out of their way to accommodate your needs. The young man (Kevin) that man's the front desk is amazing! Very gracious. He deserves a raise. The rooms are clean & equipped with items that you will use. Continental breakfast is delivered to your room every morning of your stay. If you are going to the spa, to get a massage. Dillion the male masseur is a "healer" and knows which areas to address. Actually everyone was very nice & accommodating. We love Calistoga & can't wait to visit here again. Kuddos to everyone that works at this hotel. You're doing an amazing job read more

A group of coworkers and I decided to ditch work for the day and set up some much-needed massages, due to the size of our party Mount View was the only Spa that would accommodate our group size. After our massages, we lounged by the pool to enjoy some cocktails and charcuterie boards. I forgot my bathing suit at home which was a bummer but I was lucky enough to find one at one of the boutique shops next door. The location is ideal in downtown Calistoga and parking was easy to find, the hotel will validate your parking if you ask. I was surprised by the interior design of the lobby/reception area, it's very modern and retro eccentric. IG worthy if you're into that kind of aesthetic. As the weather warms up we plan on visiting Mount View for more spa treatments and hopefully spend the day by the pool time permitting. read more

I was not expected to be impressed but I was!! This was a "hotel in a pinch" situation and I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into. First, my interaction with everyone at the front desk was impeccable. They were kind, genuine and made me feel appreciated. I got upgraded to a pretty exquisite room...it was clean, spacious and better than I imagined. I didn't experience the pool area due to poor weather but it's cute and quaint. Hope to come back soon! xx read more

I needed a walk away from the city to release accumulated stress from work. Calistoga has always been the place to go. I got at the Mount View Hotel at night. Great welcoming from the front desk... great jacussy... like the ambien. The single rooms are spacious and noticed the desire to step up the rooms. However, there is no daily cleaning. The continental breakfast was a joke. No parking. I expected more more a 400 dollars night.. read more

Great two-night stay right in the center of town! Our room was spacious, clean and quiet. Front desk staff was super friendly and helpful in offering suggestions for spots to eat and drink. The pool bar wasn't open during the week but the staff at Johnnie's was happy to walk our food order out to the pool since they weren't too busy (NOTE they are not affiliated with the hotel and if you want to stop in for a nightcap you're best to arrive by around 9 as it seemed they would close early if they weren't busy). Not sure about the actual spa hours but we weren't interested in treatments so not a big deal. Will definitely be back! read more

Great small 100+ year old boutique hotel on Calistoga's Main Street. The rooms are nice and comfortable and the pool area is quaint. The staff is very pleasant and the hotel has recently been remodeled. My only complaint is that the hotel does not have parking. During this time of Covid, parking on the street is not enforced to the three hour limit so you can park there all day. read more

We spent the weekend in Calistoga and this was a spa experience that we booked. Located in an old downtown area also with a backdoor entrance that we used. The premises is clean and pristine inside out including the beautiful pool area. This isn't the cheapest place but it also isn't the most expensive in the area. The staff is very professional, nice and the vibe is relaxed from beginning to end. We did a mud bath which isn't exactly what I expected but no complaints here because it was 10/10. More of a hot tub experience but there's mud at the bottom and they give you bath salt or whatever to rub on or add in yourself. Cant forget to mention the chocolate truffles! So good.. After your time is up they tell you to shower in the same room before coming out as we were led to our massage rooms. The massage was nothing short of amazing, joelee is a master of her craft and joy took care of my love interest the same. One thing to mention is the tips are already added in the bill. Everybody deserved it but I went ahead and made the tip bigger than the 25 minimum. Of all the places I think this one is middle ground for most budgets where you leave feeling like royalty. read more

This hotel's central position made exploring the nearby attractions an effortless endeavor. Restaurants, shopping and wine tasting rooms were conveniently just a stone throw away. One of the highlights of our stay undoubtedly revolved around the mineral hot tub and pool area. The hotel's attentive and professional staff completed the experience with their warm hospitality. The service was impeccable, especially when dealing with Kevin, Matt and I believe Yonica (spelling?). Breakfast delivery was a nice touch. Great stay and this hotel is truly a gem waiting to be discovered in the heart of the city. Already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Art Deco, good old decadence in the air and awesome front desk guys that speak Spanish and know my country or birth (Spain) by heart and better than me. Exceptional customer service that covers for some of the outdated stuff. The pool are is not super luxurious if that is what you are looking for, but it is very quiet, relaxing, great feeling there. Hotel is in downtown of quaint and pretty Calistoga, so all perfect. You can spend so much time checking objects from a beautiful era and feel like a character of a vintage movie. read more

Great historic hotel with lots of charm! Wonderful staff! Stayed one night for my girlfriends birthday, hung out at the pool and had a great time! Towels, lounge chairs and sofa areas to relax in! Love this place! Lots of local restaurants and a few beer pubs you can walk to as well as several other spas. The hotel also has there own spa on site. Johnny's bar is on site and they are adding a new restaurant. They have also set up an outdoor move area that looks like so much fun!!! Grocery store and drug store just steps away from the hotel too. Great chill place for family, friends and couples. read more

My friend and I go to Calistoga every year and we always choose this place. It is very quiet and the staff is always very friendly and welcoming. They have a filtered water dispenser and free coffee in morning. Beds are comfortable and room is small but quiet and cozy. They do have banana cake and cutie's delivered to your room w coffee at a chosen time in mornings. They also have a wine happy hour. The pool area is always very quiet. We have only experienced kids there once in all the years we have been going there. Centrally located so it is easy to walk to everywhere. The reason I give one star off is the spa. I have been there several times but I think for Calistoga It could be better. There are zero amenities. You will get a room that you get a massage in, that is it. I love staying at the hotel and return every year. This year I will try some other spas in area. read more

We love calistoga. We've been many times. Sadly, businesses have fallen but calistogians are resilient. However, Mount View hotel was a huge disappointment. Skeletal staff (including the spa) concierge let us know to call the front desk anytime for anything yet when I asked for coffee pods for the next am all they had was decaf and the man at the front desk had no idea where to get them. We are hugely disappointed. read more

What a great place in lovely Calistoga! Our room was just beautiful, with a sitting area and a balcony overlooking the main street. The pool and the hot tub, which is fed by hot springs, are fantastic. There are fabulous restaurants and shops all around the property. The staff was very nice and helpful with reccos for dinner and outings. There is a little theatre/stage area on the property where they show movies or have bands playing. We will definitely be back!! read more

Great ambiance, Lovely decors. A bit in the pricier side but so worth the $$. Each room is decorated uniquely by the owners. We loved our two queen rooms unit. Continental Breakfast is basically fruits, a couple of toasts, juices and coffee. They gave you options to have them delivered to your room or by the pool. It was a complementary we didn't expect as it wasn't part of the package we paid so can't complain much about it. There are other options outside the hotel if you choose to go for fancy breakfast or something great from the nearby bakeries. We did both. Got our complimentary breakfast brought to the pool so we can enjoy the warm morning sun and we also got our fancy croissants and other pastries from the nearby bakery. Love the quiet and relaxing backyard with outdoor heated, cabanas, with burst cool air on a very hot afternoon. Enjoyed the geothermal mineral whirlpool. Also recommended the on-site massage session. At the time of our stay, they have movie night in the back patio. Overall, this is my favorite and my first choice place to stay when in Calistoga. The outside and inside allow you to lounge with great comfort and relaxation. read more

This hotel was the perfect place to stay while celebrating my birthday this past March. It is in the perfect location in Calistoga, in walking distance to all the boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants. Calistoga is quite small in general but it was wonderful to be staying right in the heart of this quaint little town. My mother joined my on this birthday weekend getaway so our room had two twin beds with one bathroom. The room was small but arranged nicely to give optimal space with the beds against opposites walls, a small bistro table underneath the wall mounted TV in the center in between the walk in closet and bathroom, and a cute little rolling bar cart with a small Keurig machine. I personally loved the decor and ambiance. My mom however, felt that somethings could use some updating. But it is difficult to know how the other rooms are since we requested a simple room with twin beds. Our view wasn't spectacular either with the parking lot just outside our window. It did give me a bit of comfort since I could keep an eye on my vehicle though. The rest of the hotel is beautiful and again, I love the decor throughout. But I especially loved the small bar where guests could partake in a complimentary wine tasting. This room is also where they have pastries, coffee, and orange juice for guests in the morning. We did not take advantage of any of the spa services but we did see that they offer many services for guests and provide a brochure to look over in the guestrooms. The pool area is nice as well. Although it was cold while we visited I definitely wished were could have spent some of our time relaxing underneath one of the canopies or in the hot tub. Overall, our visit was wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday weekend here. read more

The pool area is nice and tranquil. The staff seem very nice. The room is old style which is cool even though it's very dated and there's some upgrades but they dropped the ball on other aspects such as the tub/shower which is a claw foot tub which is cool but the tub is out of balance and shifted every time you turn around and it has a stupid shower curtain ring around the tub so close it feels like you're showering while standing up in a wet sleeping bag. All of that could've been overlooked but they made a big deal about bringing us breakfast to our room and asked if we preferred coffee and what time? We said 8:30. Well that came and went and we called the front desk and asked, they said it's on the way but still never showed up. So we left and got our own coffee, but that set the tone for our outlook on this place and now we'll never be back. read more

This review is for the spa only. We had an early Valentines day here last week and opted for the Lavender Mudtini Couples Hydrotherapy Mud Bath followed by a Couples Cocoa Massage and we chose this location because they stated that use of all the facilities was included with any treatment. This is important to us because we like usually like to relax as long as possible and make a day of it. The website advises that in addition to your selected services, you get use of the sauna, heated pool, and mineral whirlpool. It also says they have cabanas, free wifi, poolside tables and lounge chairs and a nice locker room. We were really looking forward to a relaxing day. I will start at the beginning. Parking is an issue. There are a few 3 hour parking spaces out front that were occupied and there is an alley way with limited parking one building over from the hotel but it advises it is a tow away zone. Behind the main street where the building is located, there is some street parking but it was all taken. We moved our car just after checking in because someone left one of the 3 hour spots, but we were lucky. The spa is located on a main street that is small but busy and worrying about your car getting towed is not the way to start your spa experience. The staff was nice enough, I guess; a little awkward though. They asked us if we wanted to leave our tip before we started our services which was strange and we declined. However, as we were leaving they said "20% tip?" as if it was a questions but then proceeded to just charge the 20% gratuity (which came out to almost $80 for our $400 worth of services) so we paid and left. It was a bit uncomfortable through, like this odd feeling that they are going to get their 20% so give it to them now or give it to them later. We always tip well, so it wouldn't have been an issue except that they made it uncomfortable and pretty cringe-worthy. The locker room was smaller than I have seen before but still nice. There were a few dozen lockers, two shower stalls and two sinks. They also had flip-flops and brushes, both of which I used and recycled before leaving. The robes are one size fits all. Usually that can be a problem for me because I am a larger girl but I was able to close the robe so I was happy. I typically ask for a larger robe or one from the men's locker room but my husbands robe was exactly the same. His slippers however were much larger so if you have bigger feet, at least you can ask for larger slip ones. We had a little time before our services, so we walked outside to the pool and spa area and the complaints in some of the other reviews we read became understandable. The grounds are old and the facilities show it. It was a gorgeous day but after 10 minutes outside, we decided that we weren't interested in using the pool or spa. They looked dirty, old and worse for the ware. There was dirt floating in the hot tub and since it was maybe 10:30 in the morning, I doubt it was from use that day. It's nice to have the option to use that area but honestly, it was just incredibly unappealing. They had nuts and water in the waiting area and we really liked the "elixer" or flavored water they offered. They brought a little of it into our first service, which was the hydrotherapy mud bath as well as regular ice water and 2 truffles. I think it's really important to explain here that the bath is just that. It's a bath. There is no "mud". The staff put what looked to be a few bath bombs in the water and as they were lavender scented, the water appeared a purple color but there is no mud. They really shouldn't advertise this as a mud bath. You can see from the other reviews that people are annoyed because they are expecting something very different. Also, there were noticeably broken tiles on the tub even in the dim light and things like that take away from the experience. That being said, we enjoyed our bath. You sit in a warm 2-seater Jacuzzi tub for 45 minutes with a pleasant smell and jets massaging you. It seems a bit long and I think 30 minutes would be more reasonable. I got out early to use the body scrub they provide and shower off but if you're just expecting a romantic bath with your partner (as we were) then you won't be disappointed. We went straight to our massages and the massages themselves were fine. I enjoyed the chocolate and lavender scents used and I especially liked that my technician asked me if I wanted that or unscented. However, both my husband and I had headaches later that we think were from the heavily scented oils, so if you are sensitive to smell, I recommend taking advantage of the unscented oils. We discussed using the sauna after our massages but as I indicated earlier, by this point our parking time was running out and we didn't want to risk a ticket. All in all, the massages were good but you're not going to spend a long luxurious day at this spa and $500 for a few hours together seems steep for us. We won't be back. read more

I've been here many times for spa services and highly recommend it. I did not even think ahead when it came to my birthday this year, but saw that they had a groupon for spa services and pool access and wanted that. We arrived and were brought to our dressing rooms where we could lock up our belongings and change into robes. We had a really nice mud treatment for two that left my skin feeling really good. After the services, we retreated to the pool where we hung out in the sun for a few hours. I bought a bottle of white wine to enjoy by the pool and unwind. The pool area is very relaxing and tucked away from the street, it was great. It was a really great way to start off my birthday weekend. Other times that I have been here, I have gotten the massages and always had a great experience. I love the Mount View Hotel and look forward to coming back to stay for the weekend. read more

Friendly service and great location, did not have time to enjoy the spa but it did look like it would be worth it. Enjoy the old school charm of the hotel and the outdoor classic movie nights if you're there for one! read more
