I’m not sure why Fess Parker Wine Inn uses Expedia but I booked a room at Fess Parker Wine Inn through Expedia, I got a confirmation through Expedia and I called Fess Parker Wine Inn to confirm my reservation and they did not honor it. This reservation was for this Memorial weekend so I was in a panic and had to call other hotels to book a room. This experience was horrible.

This is a very nice property with exceptional rooms. 2 2 Wine tasting and a bottle of their wine is offered complementary. You may have to ask for the wine. Fess Parker winery is right up the road and is beautiful and Jack is hilarious and very informative. Join the wine club and take some home or have it shipped.(80.00) The other wineries are close by so you can make a day of it. We stayed two days but could have used three.

The property was very nice and relaxing. The disappointing aspect was that prior to booking the room there was no mention that the restaurant and fitness center were closed until we checked in. It is a small town and it left only one open restaurant within walking distance for dinner.

Delightful Stay
The Fess Parker Wine Country Inn is a delightful place to stay. Its location is ideal for walking around the charming little town of Los Olivos. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the complementary breakfast at Bear & Star is excellent. The room is spacious, clean, comfortable and very quiet. The overall stay was superb and is highly recommended.

Maybe it was just our room (number 9) but the bed was so old and uncomfortable to the point that my back hurt by morning. It had one of those really worn mattresses with huge divots that your body can’t help but sink into. This room is also at the end of the hallway close to housekeeping so beginning at 5am you hear a lot of carts rolling and banging and doors shutting. Hopefully other rooms are better. Otherwise the hotel is really clean and nice. If they get new beds this would easily be a five-star review.

Lovely Inn but Untrained to Deal with Discomfort
The property is lovely and the room was very well appointed. Unfortunately after the inn experienced a power outage from a storm, they were unable to provide us with our complimentary breakfast and to restore the heat in our room after the power was restored. We certainly understand that they had no control over the power. However, after the power was restored and we tried to heat our room, it stayed around 62-64 degrees for the entire day and I'm sure got even colder at night, even after they brought in a small space heater that unfortunately was under-powered to heat the room. After we alerted them to the situation, they offered us no compensation for the inconvenience. I don't feel that they needed to fully compensate us for night, but some small gesture like an extra bottle of wine, credit at the restaurant for the missed breakfast, or a discount on a future stay would have been nice. The lack of concern shown by the front desk to our situation and discomfort was a disappointment.

The place was nicely decorated and the facility was great. However the beds were extremely soft and both my wife and woke up at 4 am with a back ache and had to get up. The value on the room was on the high side. Next time we will probably opt for somewhere else.

This Place is Awesone - Upscale Comfortable
Such a great place in a great setting. Upscale without being stuffy, comfortable and super clean. Fits the town like a glove with the tasting rooms and walkable area. Rooms are generous in space and outfitted in style. Stayed across the street this time and loved the pool area that stays open late to relax after a great day of wine tasting. Underrated but awesome restaurant. Had a singer in the Courtyard that was great with a cocktail.
