Bad was extremely uncomfortable, the mattress was going on angle to the middle, and when told the front desk about it, wouldn’t get any interest and wave me off.

Beautiful, Romantic Rooms and Hotel (dumb pet fee)
Excellent location in Santa Ynez area. The hotel is very high-end traditional design. Our room, located on the main floor, had a wonderful high ceiling, huge bathroom, fireplace, and ample room to stretch out. We loved the room and the main areas of the hotel.
We booked through Hotels.com and do not like that the pet fee for some hotels doesn't show up (but it does for some, so not sure if it's a hotel issue or hotels.com?). It's irritating to spend $350 on a room for a night and get hit with a $100 pet fee on top of that. Our dog is not $100 worth of effort to clean-up after and I'm sure it's per stay, but it's ridiculous to charge that for 1 night.

Peaceful
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.
