10/10 Exceptional

This place was incredible. I surprised my wife with a quick get-a-way trip up the Santa Ynez. She's appreciates wine a lot more than I do, and she was not disappointed by any means. The location is great that's close to wineries, Solvang, a very famous beer brewery, ostrich farm, and more wineries. The staff was nothing short of amazing. Our remote control wasn't working and the front desk brought us up one at 1 am. The pool ran out of towels and the staff went and brought us out 4 towels before they continued on working their shift. The jacuzzi was set way too high, and the engineering guy turned it down for us without hesitation. Also, the maids were very generous in providing extra coffee packets. Not sure if we'll be going back to Santa Ynez in the future or not, but if we do, we'll definitely be staying here again. We got the king size suite, and it was definitely worth the extra money. It had a huge living area, a massive bathroom, and the room itself was gigantic.

6/10 Good

The staff were extremely helpful and kind. We received especially great service from our server at the restaurant. The drinks were good and the pool and eating space was kid friendly. Our only complaints were regarding the room. Our tv remote didn’t work well, so it was annoying to navigate the tv. We told the front desk, but no one ever came to replace it. Most importantly, my 6 year old son found a vibrator under the bed! Like many hotel beds, most of the space under the bed is blocked off with a barrier, so it’s not like he was crawling under the bed. We immediately threw it away and washed our hands. He found it before falling asleep, so we left it in the trash and reported it in the morning during check out. Overall the experience was a good one with the exception of the room.
