Santa Ynez Vacation Packages

Fresh continental breakfast. Very well maintained property. All the staff are happy and friendly. Bed comfortable. Parking mostly under cover. I recommend.

My issue is not with the staff or cleanliness. The room was very dark and austere. No warmth whatsoever. Dark grey concrete walls and dark wallpaper. Poor lighting. As a single occupant it is okay but if anyone else is in the room, there is little privacy. All glass shower showing into the room or no door on the toilet room. Your choice with a barn door that shows one or the other. Also, no drinking glasses in the room or coffee service unless you go downstairs. The a/c blows directly on you when in the bed. So, you either have to put up with it or turn it completely off. It shows an option to redirect the air but it does not work Neither is ideal. There is no closet- just hooks on the wall. Best part was that the bed was very comfortable. I suppose they’re going for hip and ultra contemporary but its misses the mark and in my opinion, it looks is a poor value for the money.

The Inn by the Harbor is not an "Inn" but a motel right off the highway. Unfortunately, the description and the pictures of the facilities on Expedia made me think the accommodations were far more upscale and updated than they were. When I arrived, I was disappointed. The good = the friendly staff, comfy beds, the lovely plants and landscaping in the interior of the motel. The not so good = the location and sound of the highway; the outdated suite with old carpet, old bathroom fixtures, old closets, lack of mirrors, and most importantly, the thin walls and ceilings. I could hear every step and sound that the people above us (and next to us) made. All in all, this place would have been fine had I known that is was a "cute" motel off the highway. However, it is not as advertised, and it was therefore a disappointment.

The room was clean however as soon as we sat down on the bed, we found an ant on it then more throughout the night. Also the bathroom light needed to be replaced. We ended up going to the bathroom using our phone flashlight. It was too late to report it since office closed at 10 pm.

Everything was great
