Elizabeth

Disliked: Staff & service
The property needs updating. The rooms need remodeling. Remove old rug in rooms. Need gravel or pave parking area. Very muddy. There is minimal breakfast and cold coffee and tea. Told to “go across the street” if I wanted toast. The current front desk / breakfast manager is not friendly and not inviting.

We had a lovely stay. The staff and service were great. The other guests were friendly and thoughtful. I remember when they had the great restaurant, but it's now closed. I will return when I am in the area again. I particularly like that it's located away from the tourists, but so close to Solvang, Buellton and Los Olivos.

The staff was beyond friendly and the Inn was clean and quiet! It was great for a romantic evening. However , the pictures are very misleading . You are in a subdivision not on acres of farm/winery like it looks.

Roger

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was nice, but probably past its prime. The mattresses definitely needed to be replaced because they were sagging on both my side and my wife’s side. Staff was nice. Breakfast was underwhelming and on more than one occasion the coffee canister was empty when went to get some in the morning with breakfast. There is a great food place right across the street however All in all a nice hotel, but not a lot going on in the town. Next time I would stay in los Olivos since just more going on there.
