Top Santa Ynez Valley Hotel Reviews

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and efficient staff!"

Wine Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We took a short trip to town and decided to stay here. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING about this place and our stay here was perfect! Check in was quick and easy, all staff were extremely friendly, our room was generously spacious, recently renovated (everything including the bathroom was new!), the amenities were superb and what more can I say? I was originally looking for a place that has free breakfast. I was not interested in places that advertised free breakfast but only offered coffee in your room counting that as “free breakfast”. The Wine Valley Inn exceeded my expectations with a full lodge style dinning room with a generous breakfast bar including scrambled eggs, bacon, yogurt, breads, juices, coffee and teas (the coffee was good!). Our stay was quiet, peaceful and filled with friendly people and overall it was THE perfect experience! I WILL be back here next time we’re in town. Thank you Wine Valley Inn!"

Best Western Plus Pepper Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very beachy vibe with the colorful tiles outside and along the solid stairwell. The grassy area in the room’s “backyard” had a lovely homey feel for my kids and two pet dogs. The breakfast options here were some of the best we have had : fresh pancake maker, crispy bacon,and indivudually wrapped loaf bread and oatmeal. I would stay here again. "

Flying Flags RV Resort & Campground

10/10 Excellent

"I have always wanted to stay at Flying Flags and I am so glad I made it happen. It's the coolest place - so many options of accommodations and so much to do when you get there! 4 pools, great sun lounges and cabanas, delicious food at the cafe and fun people everywhere. I loved it!"
