Hotel Ynez

This place used to be a motel but 3 years ago they pulled out the parking lot and created a reallly cute courtyard with fire pits and fantastic California landscaping- it was just super cute

I love the landscaping and the attention to detail, from the hammocks, nespresso, beautiful landscape, and comfortable rooms. The staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying here. Super charming!

Beautiful hotel perfect place to stay! Very clean and peaceful. The staff was amazingly nice and helpful.

Everything was done well. Morning breakfast was great and service was excellent. Rooms and facility was always clean. Environment was the best part, relaxing atmosphere.

The property atmosphere was so relaxing, rustic and quaint. I love the breakfast. I highly recommend this hotel for pleasant get away vacay destination!

This place has an upscale camping feel to it that we just loved. The room was very spacious and it came with a nice little kitchen area for us to use. The bed in our room dipped in the middle which wasn’t the most comfortable of sleeps. The fire pits and outdoor sitting was great for us to lounge around on during the day or night. It was the perfect location between Santa Ynez and Solvang. We will definitely be back!

It feels so serene. The outside areas are beautifully appointed. Bring a blanket and longe in 10 different places!! Loved the heated bathroom floor and the well stocked bar in each room!!

Hotel Ynez feels like a cheap flip of a roadside motel, which is exactly what it is. The good: - The grounds are cute - The location is fine - The staff were generally friendly - The TV was nice The bad: - Uncomfortable beds and cheap, thin pillows - Water pressure dropped to nothing while showering - We were treated to a sewage smell coming from the bathroom twice in two days - No refrigerator in the room or any furniture in which to put our things besides two bedside tables - Breakfast was a sp**** arrangement of pastries and 2 sad looking quiches — by 8:30 much of it had been picked over. I'd guess it was completely gone for anyone who didn't get to it before 9 - No access to non-tap drinking water outside of breakfast hours. Asking at the front desk got me a "water is available in our retail store" reply. We ended up spending $12 on two bottles of poor tasting water in our room to avoid needing to go out late at night to get water - The (very small) pool was dirty - The ice machine was broken - Shampoo and body wash seemed really watery. Had to get a significant number of pumps to get enough to cover a small bit of hair. Also think they must be refilling the retail-sized bottles because the bottle of "cleanser" on the sink and identical to the one in the shower actually contained lotion... Overall, a really disappointing experience for the price. Maintenance issues, awful beds, and nickel and diming guests should be out of the question at a $300/night hotel.

Loved the property but wish the standard room’s bathroom had more counter space.
