Santa Ynez Inn, Luxury Boutique Hotel

The hotel was just wonderful. Their policy of having everything included in the rate (wi-fi, breakfast, bottled water, cokes, etc.) was really unexpected, but we were thrilled at how welcome they made us feel. We will definitely return in the future.

The service is nice, but the bed is extremely uncomfortable. I had two days back pain every day when I got up there

I will definitely return to this hotel. They treat you very well. The rooms are great.

Fantastic stay!!

Wife and I stayed for Valentine's 2013. Hotel really is everything advertised and more. It is a high-quality boutique hotel in a quaint and provincial setting. Antique furnishings and artwork throughout, including our room. Included breakfast was spectacular: continental style on buffet but also 4-star dishes from the kitchen, choice of two per morning. Sunday was the best Eggs Benedict I've had anywhere. And the pastries on the buffet were unique French pastry type. Excellent coffee, juices too. We brought our bikes on a rack and the riding is truly excellent. There's a bike shop right across the street with maps (and I heard from others they rent bikes though for steep price). We rode one day to Solvang and the next to Los Olivos, both perfect destinations, not too far away and very flat and ridable roads. To Solvang, ride along the highway and you'll catch a charming paved bike path that runs from the school to the outskirt of Solvang. Then you ride along the road up the hill a short distance to the center of town. For Los Olivos, take Calzada to Baseline to Refugio, through charming countryside, very few cars. Right by the hotel is Grappolo for excellent Italian in romantic setting. A block away is Don Carlitos for well-done, higher-end Mexican (we had excellent short-ribs). Tons of wine tasting opportunities in Solvang and Los Olivos (and several right ther in Santa Ynez too). Can't say enough about it--truly wonderful weekend.

THIS is a superior little hotel.....excellent in all regards....very helpful staff, beautiful room, just one of the best.

Lovely accommodations! Wonderful breakfast! Comfy beds! Helpful staff, clean,quiet and quaint! Would definitely stay here again!

It was wonderful and elegant in every way!
