Really a great experience. Travelers looking for a hip, dog friendly, recently remodeled property with great aesthetics and a really lovely outdoor space including a bocce court, will love this motel. Ten minute drive to world class wines and food in Los Olivos, and a beautiful and easy thirty minute drive to Santa Barbara. Friendly, helpful staff generally, and an excellent breakfast. Coffees in room are a step above, and the ability to buy a nice bottle of wine and delicious snacks from your room is top notch. There are however a couple improvements I would suggest: the feather bedding is not consistent with updated hygiene and sanitation considerations, and the cleanliness/maintenance of our room was a 7 out of ten. If I were managing this property, I would schedule deep cleaning and maintenance checks on each room once a month, to keep this lovely property in tiptop shape. I would also suggest that if a guest asks for the gas firepits to be lit in the evening, which pits are a striking and useful feature of the gardens, perhaps the staff person present in the office should not respond they are on break for another twenty minutes, as wine hour for many guests will be over by that time, and evenings can be windy and cool. And for those guests with electric cars, they do not have charging on site as stated on the website, instead they have Tesla charging only. I would absolutely recommend this property.
