Great Getaway Hotel in Wine Country.

Great location in Buellton, minutes from wine country and Los Olivos. Property is dog friendly and is connected to the RV Park behind the hotel. Nice Pool in the center of the hotel property and they offer fresh donuts in the morning with your coffee in the lobby. Overall a great getaway hotel.

Staff was nice. We used the hot tub & they gave us towels to use. The room was fine & seemed remodeled & updated with a microwave & a fridge that hummed a little through the night. We went to the bar to have a sausage and some fries. I thought the sausage was good, but my partner did not. Garlic Parm fries were a bit salty. Unfortunately, it didn’t do well with my stomach, but that might be a me problem. The evening was quiet enough, but in the morning (Monday morning), the jackhammering started right outside our door at 8am. That was our cue to go. I texted the front desk that we were leaving and they responded. But, 2 housekeepers tried to come clean our room immediately and we hadn’t left. Oops.

What i didnt like was one chair in the room felt like sitting in a hole. The table in between very small. And the bathroom door was hung crooked and rubbed the wall. What I liked is the bar on-site, friendly staff and the free mimosas on Sunday. Nice touch. Should have a full breakfast for the price you pay for the rooms.

Nicely renovated motel. Would return if in area again. Check in and out was a breeze. Friendly staff. ROOM: • Adequately sized for 2 adults and 1 dog. • Clean and tidy thought looks a little worn down in some areas (bathroom). • Barnyard sliding door for bathroom not desirable — no privacy! :( • Keurig, mini fridge, and microwave. 👍 • A/C unit needs to be replaced eventually, did not work half the time but we visited during winter so it was not a big deal. • We requested and were accommodated a room away from the pool that was facing the back parking lot. Day time was active w/ the campers at the RV sister property, but we did not mind, as it quieted down by evening. PARKING/LOCATION: • Plentiful. Easy to get in and out. • Location is not exactly pretty (next to freeway/gas station) but convenient. • Downtown Solvang is a 2 min drive. Chumash casino about 15 min. • We returned to our room around midnight and it was dead quiet even the hotel had a lot of occupants. • Dog relief area clean and conveniently located in the back parking lot area. LOUNGE/BAR: • Attentive, polite staff. • Good, strong drinks. • Nice decor, cozy size. • Crowd was middle aged 40 with what appeared to be some locals (good sign). Maybe younger crowds on the weekends. • Closes a little early at 10pm. Would have liked to have some drinks before turning in but no biggie we drank at the casino.

Nice location, very quiet and check in was easy. King room facing pool very nice. Used pool and jacuzzi was very easy and comfortable. Nights had fire pits on and market lights around. The only thing we didn’t like was breakfast options. Donut, oatmeal or a roll similar to a dinner roll . Donuts everyday is too much as we arent oatmeal people . Better off if they had muffins or sweet rolls instead or a breakfast room. Nice that they had coffee in lobby. Would recommend! And has a Ev charging station!
