A house with a stone patio, two chairs, a potted plant, and a window with shutters.

Simpson House Inn

Upper East

10/10 Excellent

Anonymous traveller

An outdoor seating area with wooden chairs and a fire pit, surrounded by a garden with various plants and flowers.

Hotel Ynez

Solvang

10/10 Excellent

The Hotel Ynez is a beautiful spot to relax and stay. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable when we checked in. Shout out to Peter! He was able to assist us with making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The room was warm when we arrived but the AC was easy to use. The pool was clean and there were lots of towels ready for guests. The complimentary coffee was delicious. Overall, we can’t wait to stay again on our next trip!

Sara

A large, multi-story house with a prominent balcony, a well-maintained garden, and a driveway.

The Genevieve

Santa Ynez

10/10 Excellent

A genteel and stately Victorian mansion, decorously appointed outside with period appropriate and sumptuous furnishings on the inside. It's located at the edge of wine country, with several vineyards literally down the street, and more a short drive away toward Buellton and Solvang. The complimentary breakfasts were an anticipated occasion, with delicious tarts and scones available on a sideboard every day, and a small but daily changing hot breakfast choice, nicely presented, creatively...

Andy

A spacious lobby with a wooden ceiling, red chairs, a grey sofa, and a hanging light fixture.

Corque Hotel, Solvang, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Downtown Solvang

10/10 Excellent

Qing

A cozy bedroom with a large bed, a wooden ceiling, and a fireplace.

Bath Street Inn

Oak Park

10/10 Excellent

Mark

A bedroom with a bed, bedside lamps, a mirror, and a window with curtains.

Palihouse Santa Barbara

Laguna

10/10 Excellent

We stayed four nights and highly recommend the hotel. Excellent level of cleanliness and service. The location is in a quiet neighbourhood that is conveniently within walking distance of State Street and the Funk Zone. It is not an adults only hotel so very loud and rambunctious kids at the pool marred an otherwise tranquil stay. My only suggestion is to offer happy hour every day to be fair to all guests regardless their stay dates.

David

A building with a clock tower, multiple windows, and a red-tiled roof.

Royal Copenhagen Inn

Downtown Solvang

10/10 Excellent

Ashley

A wooden house with a glass door and a balcony overlooking a landscape.

Skyview Hotel - 21 & Over Pool

Los Alamos

10/10 Excellent

What a delightfully funky little roadside motel! This place is a gem along the highway and definitely worth stopping at. While it may seem a tad pricey for a motel, it is worth it. The renovations were immaculate and lend to a quirky vibe that is backed by great service, clean rooms and lots of delightful small touches. If you have the chance, take one of the bikes on offer for a quick ride into the town of Los Alamos!
