Mixed feelings

This place is a mixed bag and is pricey for what you get. The renovation several years ago made it beautiful and upscale feeling, but the service and amenities don’t quite get there. For example, the smaller queen rooms have noisy air conditioners and aren’t well insulated from the noise of neighbors. There are no in-room refrigerators and the rooms are pretty cramped. The larger rooms have a king bed, refrigerator/bar area and even a little fireplace in the room so they are definitely worth the higher price. However neither room has a closet big enough for two people with luggage. Staff are friendly but not particularly helpful. On our most recent stay the coffee in the lobby wasn’t available until about 8, and may as well have been tea. The in-room coffee maker only had decaf pods and regular wasn’t available. For the price-about $500/night-I expect more. That said, the grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed sitting by the fire pits in the evening.

Be careful.

I would not stay at the property again. There was no refrigerator in the room. I have travelled all over the US and the world. I have never had a room that did not have a small refrigerator. I was told if I wanted a room with a refrigerator i could upgrade for an additional $50.. Really. What a bad business you run!. The 1st room we were given had dog urine stains all over the bedskirt, which means they were also on the rug. The person in charge did give us another room. But it was not a good experience.

Beautiful property, relaxing evening

Luis (sp?) who checked us in was wonderful. He was pleasant and extremely helpful. Inside and out, the property is so inviting. The room is decorated beautifully, super clean. After a long day of travel we sat outside and enjoyed a glass of wine under the half-moon. Unfortunately this is a one-night stay but we want to return and stay much longer!

Hotel Ynez is a dream. Lovely grounds and great service from the staff (Michael is the best in the biz). If you’re staying in the Santa Ynez Valley, look no further. This is a Nomada Group gem.

Pretty property with all the creature comforts.

A very pretty property, with many seatings in the courtyard, which has a few large oak trees, adorned with lights. One can say it’s very “Gram-able”, but the prettiness came with comfort.

Beautiful but noisy this time

Love this property and will visit again, but my neighbors last night were quite loud - they must have had a group of people in their room and on their patio and the were talking loudly until about midnight. I would urge the property to put single or quieter travelers in rooms further away from groups
