Santa Ynez Valley Marriott - Buellton, California

I think the title of this review may say it all. But if you miss having a wonderful and casual dinner in its downstairs Bar Area, you are missing one of the hidden gems of this hotel.||So let me tell you about that hidden gem. The over-stuffed chairs in front of the many big screen TVs in the seating area allows you to enjoy some casual meals and makes you feel like you are doing so in your best friend's big and comfortable living room. There are about a half dozen areas that accommodate 4 full size adults with big TVs that are all super wonderful. And the seating area is quiet enough to enjoy private conversations or use as mini-business-meeting rooms.||And your Server takes your order and delivers it with the smile that you would want. I don't know whether they charge for it, but there are a bunch of Electic Vehicle charging parking spots too. ||We like ordering one of their freshly-made Pizzas along with a bottle of wine. Sometimes they even have a beer and pizza special (like we enjoyed on this visit). It included a full size FRESH Pepperoni Pizza and two 16 ounce beers. I had the Pilzner and my wife had one of their more unique custom ones.||And you DO NOT have to be a Hotel Guest in the Marriott to take advantage of this hidden gem!

Will definitely return!

My friend wanted to have a little birthday getaway and we chose this hotel due to location and pictures. Right away at check it Nadine was the sweetest! She was so helpful and kind. She assiated us with one early check in and ensured we got rooms close to each other. My friend is currently battling cancer and Nadine was so so sweet, my friend was overwhelmed with joy by her kindness that she decided to let Nadine know what an impact her kindness made on her.
The hotel had plenty of free parking. The rooms were very spacious and beds were comfortable. I really enjoyed the large shower with great water pressure!
Nadine assisted with a map of the area and gave us suggestions of some nice wineries which we did enjoy. We had an overall great weekend and we couldn't be happier of our hotel choice! Thank you Nadine for your welcoming and pleasant attitude and for making my friend feel so special. Kindness goes a long way! You never know what people are going through.

My family and I stayed here this past weekend . Check in time was at 4 and our room wasn’t available yet so we waited 20 minutes and when we went to check on status the girl in the front made a remark to my brother asking if we wanted a dirty room . She was rude and unprofessional. Then we had a gentleman come help and they finally gave us a room which we had requested and paid for a room with a view and did not get it . I will never stay at this hotel again . Please read the reviews before staying here .

Outdated and old room. Sink did not drain well creating puddles. The latch of the door to the safe is missing causing the door to fall right off when we opened it, almost landing on toddler's feet. Mattress was was extremely uncomfortable and we did not get a single good night sleep. The staff were nice and courteous.

This review is intended as a suggestion for the kitchen. I travel a lot and mostly stay at Marriott hotels. I like to have 3 eggs for breakfast scrambled, 1 egg white and 2 whole eggs all scrambled together. I had no idea that this is such a difficult task for a kitchen. I ask for real eggs and what I get is this. See picture. I got those nasty fake eggs not even scrambled. I know this is a first world problem, but when a person travels 3 out of 4 weeks every month, this gets pretty frustrating. While I can understand these "eggs" might be more cost effective, they're just unappealing and not for everyone. If I ask for real eggs while I place the order, maybe just tell me that you don't have them? Also, $14 for fake eggs is just ridiculous.

Checked in after nearly 10pm to our 1st room.
The toilet didn't function so we got transfered to our 2nd room. Everything was working fine and we enjoyed our stay.
Thank you to the night staff for making the transfer smoothly. He brought the key over with no hassle.

Beautiful view away from the city.
The only disapointment was no microwave in the room to heat leftover food. I didn't notice while looking for hotel to book at the last minute.

We came from out of town for a wedding at the Roblar Winery. I am a Marriott Member so I decided to stay there. THIS place needs an UPDATE big time! We got one room-not good-we asked for another room-smelt like mold (Room 305) then asked for another room-it was much better but the shower curtain had a blood stain on it and the room was dirty! There are cans and Gatorade bottles under the couch in Room 259. Not as clean as I thought it would be. The owner (this is a franchise) of this one needs to update it cuz it needs it! The Hampton is across the street and is cheaper AND provides breakfast for free! I should of stayed there but you know-I wanted to points! I paid $868 for TWO nights in May!! If I ever come to this part of the world again I will be staying at the Hampton! 😉 There is an employee that was amazing though and his name was Juan-front desk! He was awesome and should be commended!!
