One a hot day in Healdsburg everyone will love the Dry Creek Inn swimming pool
Best Western Dry Creek Inn
Remember your grade school report cards? Were you excited when you received a “plus” after your grade for that extra effort? Welcome to the Best Western Plus Dry Creek Inn. This family owned hotel merits a plus in its name because they offer extras such as a sauna and steam room. With an AAA 3 Diamond Award rating, the property features 163 guestrooms. I also noticed cotton robes in the closets and my personal favorite, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the lobby.
Enjoy a bit of Tuscany at the Best Western Dry Creek Inn
Tuscan Elegance in the Wine Country
There are two wings to the Best Western Dry Creek; the newer Tuscan building, opened in 2008, with 60 non-smoking rooms (no pets allowed) and the pet-friendly Vintage Building with 103 deluxe rooms.
Tuscan Deluxe King
Best Western Dry Creek Deluxe King Room #510 with Balcony
My room, #510, was a deluxe king room with a gas fireplace, small, private balcony and rented for $150 during my April visit. The balcony looked onto a lovely Tuscan-themed piazza. I didn’t have a chance to try out the jetted soaking tub, but I appreciated that my room offered the choice of a shower or tub. The plus side, the low flow shower heads are good for the environment and must be saving the property a ton of money on their water bill. The downside, I would have loved more water pressure.
Kid and Pet-friendly Vintage Building
I didn’t stay in the Vintage building, but this is the best bet for families wanting multiple beds or those looking for dog-friendly lodging. The pet fee is a reasonable $30 per night. The property also offers a complimentary breakfast served from 6-1o a.m. on site and wine tasting on Friday evenings. The kids will enjoy the outdoor pool.
