Hotel Ynez

We recently stayed at this lovely hotel for a mini vacation. The place is incredibly beautiful! The grounds are landscaped in a gorgeous California native /drought tolerant garden, with various cozy places to sit and hang out by firepits. The view past the road and parking area is a lovely country hillside landscape. There are amazing views and landscapes all around this area. It's absolutely amazing. The hotel staff here is very kind and accomodating. I don't think I've met such nice and friendly people working in the hotel industry. They went out of their way to help with the sound on our tv, so we could watch the Oscars! It was quite a fun and relaxing evening after a long drive. The rooms are very pretty with rustic modern decor including a pretty tiled fireplace that you flip on with a switch. It warmed up the space just enough when the night got chilly. I can't wait to come back and stay here again. This place is near shops and restaurants in Solvang, Santa Ynez, and Los Olivos, all within driving distance. Santa Ynez is closest with a great restaurant I think it was called Red Barn? Very yummy. I highly recommend Hotel Ynez mostly becuase of the beautiful place and the wonderful people who work here.

Loved the property, so relaxing with the hammock on the patio. The fire pit to enjoy with wine at night and coffee in the morning. Breakfast and coffee was so nice.

This was our second stay with Hotel Ynez and my wife & I thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing, welcoming weekend. We look forward to our next visit.

Good location, but the staff were pretty unhelpful. Our room smelled like bleach the entire time and when we asked to switch to a different room, they would only downgrade us to a smaller room. The walls were super thin, and a crying baby in the next room woke us up at 4am twice. Checkout was nonexistent as I’m still waiting for a receipt. They only have a parking lot that doesn’t have enough spots for the guests, so you have to find parking in a different place.

Beautiful property. Staff friendly. Nice breakfast. Rooms are nicely updated and comfortable. We’d stay again and would recommend to our friends.

Cute and quaint mini-resort. Our suite was very nice and romantic with steps out to the gorgeous courtyard. We rode the bikes Hotel Ynez offers around the area and enjoyed seeing the rolling hills and beautiful landscape. Thank you HY!

Beautiful soot. Friendly staff and great grounds. From the complimentary cookies to the delicious scones and coffee in the morning. Would definitely go back!

This property is unique and charming. The landscape is beautiful and the fire pits are so nice. Rooms are well appointed and cozy.

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
