The stay here was very good.
Hotels.com needs to clearly state to contact hotel directly if bringing a pet. Hotel has no place on site nor nearby for pet relief.
For this level of accommodation, the shower and jetted bathtub should be in working order. Great breakfast and peaceful grounds.

We stayed overnight and the property and the staff was great! It was a last minute booking and I didn’t realize that it had so many wonderful amenities until I got here so those were an added bonus. My wife was pleased with the decor inside and out and was thrilled with its location. Definitely will look forward to staying here again.

Complimentary charcuterie and wine, dessert at night and free breakfast of the best caliber. Full tub and high vaulted ceilings, fireplace and patio what more could you ask for? Robes and slippers? They got you on those too!

The Genevieve Hotel is an absolute gem, effortlessly blending opulence with unparalleled service. From the moment you enter, a world of sophistication unfolds. Impeccably designed rooms boast modern comforts and breathtaking views, setting the stage for a truly indulgent stay. We truly enjoyed our stay, thank you!!!

Nice, quiet, comfortable room. Great bathtub. Reception staff a bit cold and unwelcoming. Wine before dinner just ok. Desert between 8-9 really bad, with packaged cookies. Charger for Tesla not functioning during our two day stay.

This was one of our best experiences in boutique Hotels. First..location..walking distance to several EXCELLENT restaurants (and I mean a few steps..not a winded "i gotta use the bathroom to freshen up and recomb my hair and wash off the sweat" walks.) Gorgeous rooms with A LOT OF SPACE (for all those cases of wine you'll be buying) Breakfast served from 7am to 10am! (Yes..they accommodate sleepheads) and its FANTASTIC! A new menu every morning with 2 options of GOURMET made to order dishes alongside freshly baked pastries, muffins, the freshest of fruit, yogurt and granola every morning. Juice, coffee and mimosas galore. The best part of breakfast every morning...DANTE our server!! Beyond service oriented and friendly! Loved seeing him every morning for a week (btw..a huge baseball Boston Red Sox fan) Dante and breakfast brings up the Genevieve to a whole new level. Other amenities include 5 oclock happy hour with local wines and an assortment of cheese and crackers, as well as late night desserts, all served in a beautiful parlor that rivals Downton Abbey. Theres a stately library for Whiskey lovers, chess and checkers as well as a beautiful manicured lawn of which to play corn hole, or sip your wine by one of 3 firepits including an outdoor brick fireplace. For a very fair price, you can have a cold split of Moet champagne brought to your room (i love FRENCH Champs) Upon check in, you are given a Passport to over 20 wineries that will give you complimentary tastings.

The service was great and I would say the overall condition of the property was very good. However, we had a couple of issues that were a little disappointing. My wife spotted stains on the carpet the second we opened the door. This stay was for our anniversary, so not the best start. Then we went to close the sliding pocket door to the toilet and it would not move more than 6-8 inches and became completely jammed. We're 9 years married, so not the end of the world. But we still enjoy privacy for certain "business" so again, not ideal.
Otherwise, I'm glad we visited the area and the hotel. Compared to other options in the Solvang area, this is a nice area and more upscale than most options. If we were staying more than the one night I would have probably asked for a different room or for the door to be fixed. Hopefully they can get a small carpet cleaner to take care of the stains as well.

The property was exquisitely decorated and the room we had #202 was beautiful. Lots of space, wonderful bed. The only thing I might suggest is to have king size pillows on the bed , much more comfortable than regular size pillows. The restaurant attached, the Victor, had fabulous food, so much so we went back another night. Overall we’re enormously happy we came upon this hotel and look forward to staying there sometime soon.

This place was top notch in all ways. Will definitely return.
Using their Wine Passport, we saved a ton of money and enjoyed so many free tastings.

Coffee maker did not work. Iron was dirty and damaged my shirt. Jacuzzi tub jets would never turn off, even after the tub was fully drained. The breakfast was super disappointing - not on par for a bed and breakfast at $360/ night with an additional $40 per day resort fee.

The Genevieve is back to it's high standard of what a boutique hotel should be. And even better, it is affordable. You don't feel cheated. The on-site dining is delicious and convenient, and Santa Ynez has nice walk-able stores and shopping. Or use one of the hotel bikes! Take advantage of the complimentary wine tasting perks. Bring your appetite and unplug.

We had our dachshund with us for a two day stay. All dog rooms are downstairs so very convenient taking him out to the many green areas. We had breakfast brought to our room each morning, and enjoyed the muffins and fruit before the meals arrived. We picked up our meals each night, lots of choices. Enjoyed the cookies that were out each night also. We had a lovely stay, and will definitely be returning.

The property is a beautiful old fashioned building with impeccable landscaping. Crown moldings, wainscoting, flowered wallpaper so it may not be for everyone. Great French Breakfast. Walk to excellent restaurants
