    We stayed for several nights while driving around the area and it was conveniently located between the wineries and the busy streets of Solvang. The hotel was pretty clean and the room offered a microwave and fridge. The bathroom was also spacious. There was a gym upstairs and we used it a few times. There were a handful of treadmills and weights. Pretty standard gym amenities. The gym was really clean and they even had fruit and water available in there! If I'm ever in the area again, I would stay again.

    The rooms were clean, modern, and really comfortable. Bed was comfy too, which is huge when you're doing a lot of walking in Solvang or Los Olivos. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Check-in was very quick. Parking was plentiful throughout the property. The location is perfect too, right in Buellton, so you're close to Solvang, Los Olivos and wineries. Plus, there's a nice little lobby bar if you want a drink without having to Uber anywhere. This is a must stay here when you are taking a trip to Solvang.

    Stayed here for business. The location is great and convenient. It's situated where it's quiet enough to enjoy morning walks. There are a few gas stations and food locations just down the street. Solvang is about 10-15mins from the hotel, so for those who are looking to stay by Solvang but don't like the crowd, this place would be perfect. They do not have a microwave in the room, but there's one all guests can use at the lobby inside the convenience store. The hotel's convenient store is probably one of the best I've seen. They have essentials, enacks, desserts to merchandise. I took a photo of the menu they had during the time of my stay, which was just a few weeks ago. Housekeeping is by request or, as I was told, during the 3rd day of your stay. I ran out of coffee essentials, so I requested some, but due to staffing, I never got one. I waited the entire afternoon til night time, and the front desk I was talking to assured me that housekeeping was aware. I checked the next morning, but still none. With the change of shifts, I spoke to a different agent. She was kind enough to do it herself. The bathroom is spacious. It had the handheld shower, which was nice. The elevator was confusing at first. The gym is on the ground floor. They had a water station, a locker (yes, not just a restroom but an actual locker room), a fruit basket, sanitizing wipes, and towels for use. There were a few non-peloton bikes that the screen wasn't working on but still usable if you do your own videos or routine work.

    Lovely surprise

    We were attending a nonprofit gala at the Marriott and stayed the night so we didn't have to drive after. The room was a great size with a nice seating area, mini fridge and patio. We were welcomed with my name in the screen and a bottle of wine with a note - such a nice touch! They have a restaurant and bar, as well as a Starbucks. You can also order room service which had great prices! The event space was really nice too. The pool and hot tub looked welcoming and the have a pickle ball court. We would recommend if you're in the area!

    Another disappointed stay in this hotel, I will never come back. You can smell food in all the hallways, my room smell like sewer, the carpet full of stain, AC no working properly, very dirty, and even I didn't have se the shower after use my black light Where are all the Marriott promises about cleanliness and comfort in the rooms? Don't waste your money look for other options What I need to and also like to highlight are the employees they are the heart of this hotel.

    Located in Buellton, the Santa Ynez Valley Marriott is located near the Firestone Brewery. Parking is free around the property and they have Tesla charging stations. The lobby has a restaurant and bar area with cozy fire pit seating on the terrace behind. It's just about a ten minute drive over to neighboring Solvang and Los Olivos. Perfect spot for enjoying wine country and nearby activities without being right in the center of it. We were in a room overlooking the terrace area. You can't really enjoy and leave your window open unless you want to hear the loud sound of the cars rushing by. Also a decent amount of hallway noise and sounds from neighboring rooms. The beds didn't feel like your typical Marriott quality beds. A little squishier than usual! But the rooms did look modern and newly refreshed which was nice.

    This place is a convenient stay. My parents and I had the King suite, which was very spacious and comfortable for three adults. The king bed was in a separate space that had a sliding wooden door (as opposed to the glass one pictured) and that space also had its own closet and TV. In the common area, there was an additional closet, TV, a desk and chair and the sofa bed. The bathroom was spacious with two sinks, a counter top mirror and a full length mirror, with a spacious shower as well. There is also daily housekeeping, which many other hotels seemed to abandon after COVID. This hotel also offers a bar/lounge area that is quite lively at night. They offer a full bar and a menu with some food options for different tastes. The upstairs room hallway is an open, which allows you to see down into the lounge. That may account for other reviewers saying they smelled food in the hallway. I will say that the smell did not carry into our room. There is an expansive outdoor patio with chairs and sofas, fire pits and games (cornhole, chess, connect four). And on Fridays they host wine samples and charcuterie from 4-6. The area is close to eateries and a very short drive to Solvang and multiple tasting rooms. However, many aspects of the hotel need a lot of TLC. The grounds are not well maintained at all. Walls and the grounds are dirty and unkempt. The landscaping is neglected. Glass doors are not regularly cleaned. Even in the rooms themselves, the sliding glass doors are smudged. There was a broken light in our room. The sofa bed mattress was a thin box spring that creaked and offered minimal comfort. While a very convenient location , there is also lots to improve.

    Smooth check-in. Very spacious room. Comfortable bed. Mediocre breakfast. Mediocre gym. Lobby bar closed before 10 PM on the weekend. It feels like they have more Tesla charging stations than they do parking spaces. Plenty of guests were parked illegally at the entrance.

    Does the Santa Ynez Valley Marriott have "accommodations", for PETS? (I keep seeing people, bringing their dogs, with them, to the SYV Marriott!)

    We were allowed to bring our small dog with us so it should be ok.

This property also has a small Business center, a nice lobby, a pantry for snacks and misc. items. They also have a great gym here, which is a big plus in my book. They have a Precor FTS glide multi function weight machine as well as free weights, treadmills, elliptical machines and a Peloton bike. The only thing that I would improve here is adding a second bench so if there are more than one person trying to use it, other than that a great gym and have all you need for a great workout. Next time I am in the area, I will for sure be staying here once again, great property. Enjoy!

The hotel is located right off the freeway near many food options and a grocery store. And just minutes away from Solvang at a fraction of the cost! The rooms were spacious and very clean. Our first night, the room had a "balcony" sliding glass door that exited into the courtyard where they have a pool, jacuzzi, putting green and a few other activities. The gazebo has coffee, tea, juice and pastries in the mornings for breakfast. The staff here is so friendly! You can see them walking around the property either cleaning, fixing something or just making sure the guests are enjoying their stay! We will absolutely be returning on our next road trip!

The inn was a 10 minute walk from the marathon shuttle. The design of each detail is thoughtful and fun, from their lobby to the room, fitness center, and lounge. Each choice from color palette, font, and furniture made our stay feel like a little escape instead of being at a big corporation. We also visited the lounge for late night snacks and drinks and the bartender was great. Our only two complaints were the showerhead and barn door. The showerhead is a rainfall style, so for me, it wasn't angled or pressured enough to get the wash I prefer, and the barn door will slam against the countertop with the slightest outward pressure. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our stay.

You recycled an old Original signed hotel registration guest card from "someplace" from 2005! Did you have another property with 28+ rooms? And WHY would you hold onto papers that long & why did you not shred it? You should be shredding guest reg. cards & NOT hand out people's personal info in ANY capacity! 2.) Other few negatives to note: I did not trust the cleaning skills. A soapy, used washcloth was left hanging on the shower pipe. There is a bit of mold at the shower ceiling, upper walls, floor corners & wall tiles that should be bleached & the ceiling should be painted with mold resistant paint. Room AC vent should be disinfected to prevent it from smelling like ammonia (urine) when using fan only mode. 3.) Note: Caught on my security camera-mgr opening rm door to look in & inspect--10 min after I left the property. She did not call me. I did not trust their cleaners & I did not want folks in/out due to Covid. I always travel with a security camera now after I had cleaners open my door to attempt to enter my room at an SD hotel, while I was inside sleeping (thankfully the big security latch prevented them from entering) ~~So pls do not enter rooms when guests are not there & you agreed to "not enter".
