9.4/10 Exceptional! (2,328 reviews)
We go to Los Olivos often and only visit the casino but have never stayed. The price of the room was great considering it was a holiday weekend. The room was beautiful, clean and all around great! The front desk and cleaning people were all super nice so we’ve got zero complaints! We will stay here again!

"We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. The hotel was beautiful and maintained very well. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
