Top Winchester Hotel Reviews

Wine Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent time at the hotel. The suite was spacious and clean. The bed could use a new mattress or box springs, but otherwise totally comfortable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a nice comfortable stay in Solvang, CA."

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a great value. Nothing fancy, but clean, quiet, comfortable, and safe. Nicely remodeled, with modern bathroom and good bed. We had an "accessible room," which was spacious and adequately furnished. Large bathroom would easily accommodate a family. Breakfast items were excellent. The staff immediately caught that I had left something behind and we were able to return for it. Highly recommended."

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We booked this hotel last minute during our stay in Santa Barbara, and I’ll admit I was a little hesitant at first since it wasn’t a well-known hotel. However, I’m so glad we gave it a chance! The property was incredibly clean, peaceful, and well-maintained. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the pool and spa were definitely a nice bonus! The front desk staff was also super sweet, welcoming, and helpful, which made our experience even better. Breakfast was another pleasant surprise! They had a great selection, including sausage, bacon, eggs, pastries, and coffee. And I have to mention the waffle machine because those fresh waffles were absolutely delicious! Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations, especially for a last-minute booking. It was a comfortable, relaxing stay, and I would absolutely consider staying here again the next time we’re in Santa Barbara. Sometimes the lesser-known places turn out to be hidden gems!"
