Santa Ynez Valley 4 Stars Hotels

"I highly recommend The 3 Dux! In the Papa suite, we spent each morning enjoying our gourmet coffee provided by the host (with a wide selection of creamers) on the balcony, watching the sun rise against the mountains. At night we loved the fire and being so close to restaurants and wine tasting. The location is perfect - close enough to take a run on the bike path along the beach and enjoy great people-watching on State Street, but then retire to a quiet oasis for the night. The bedding was very...

"Most of the time, the pictures make the rental look better than it is. In this rare case, it was the opposite. The pictures made the place look fantastic, but it was even better in person. Very clean. Very luxurious. Private entrance and garage. Multiple private balconies. Everything is within walking distance. Great for families with kids. Couldn’t ask for a better location. "

"Beautiful property and amazing restaurant. Room was lovely and unique. Made many attempts to schedule a spa appointment, and neither on line or call in system seemed to work—but its a newer property and I’m sure that will get ironed out as they move forward. Amazing location in the Santa Ynez valley."

"All of the above "

"A great stay!"

"Had a very enjoyable stay. Rooms were clean and comfortable and luxurious. Staff were all friendly and helpful."

"Check in was very quick and nice. Person at check in was very helpful in telling us about restaurants nearby. We stayed on the ground floor w/an ocean view. Room was very nice. Didn't notice any noise outside in the hall even though our room was in front of the elevators. The restaurant, Convivo, was good also. The staff at the bar was super friendly and service was excellent. "

"The Ballard Inn is a beautiful place in a fabulous location with wonderful staff"

"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."

"There we so nice to use, and very helpful "

"Wine welcome very nice. Breakfast very good. Good location. Very pleasant staff. "

"I liked the bed is soft and goods interior good reception people and the best pool is not cold and its warm i want to go again!"

"A lovely place to stay very close to downtown."

"Stay here often and it appears that maintenance has been deferred. "

"The room we are in is much too loud from traffic outside, voices in the hallway, and noise from other guests staying above us. There are stains on the curtains and lampshades. We will never stay here again. "

"2 Blocks from the beach and marina. Short walk to the Funk Zone and all the Winery tasting. "

"Beautiful room and great staff!"

"Very clean, nicely appointed and updated hotel conveniently located near UCSB. Restaurant serves tasty food as a bonus! Second stay was better than the first! "

"Charming and great location. We love the backyard happy hour. The amenities are limited- no drinking water or glasses and no coffee etc which would you would expect from such a lovely accommodation. "
