Great location and very clean accommodation. Air conditioning is super strong too which is a bonus for the hot summer days. Only downside is that there are not many amenities. No TV, no robes, no slippers. Aside from that, it's fantastic

I think this place has false advertising. I walked into a room that smelled horrible. There was flies everywhere. The bathroom needs major updating. Definitely not worth $450. Max I would pay is $200 and at this point I am definitely going to request a refund.

Antique hotel from the 1800's.
It was a cute bed and breakfast. Very quiet. No T.V. anywhere. It would be nice if only to have at least one T.V. in a living room area? I like to watch the news sometimes. Im not a big T.V. watcher but their was no t.v. in The room. NO refrigerator. No microwave, and my internet didnt work at all even after using their code. Nothing to do at the hotel. The wine and cheese hour was great. I wish they had a cocktail plate. Only a small napkin. The free breakfast was fabulous. The coffee was very weak tastes like water. All and all cute. Nice girls working there. I would probably stay again on a cold winter day and yry out the fireplace in each room.

The hotel itself felt a bit dirty. We had dead flowers in our room and a worm in our tub when we arrived. A few small bugs in our bathroom. Never received our complimentary champagne upon arrival. The compilmentary wine and cheese was very minal on the food. However the breakfast was over the top!

Stayed at the Ballard Inn recently in the middle of May and it was magical. Its a really cute boutique hotel with age old charm and updated services. Their breakfast is included and its delicious. You literally get a house key and it feels like home. Walked the darling white picket fence quiet neighborhood and grabbed so me famous pastries at Bobs Well Bread across the street. Its a stone throw away from the cute boutiques, wine tasting rooms, and excellent dining, downtown Los Olivos. Will certainly be back!
