I personally do not like rating hotels. I feel they are all the same but the Genevieve Hotel has to
be one of the only hotels my family and I absolutely LOVED! It is clean, beyond beautiful, the staff was welcoming, the casino and Solvang super close. We absolutely loved it!! The only thing we wish for was, for the little town to have more fast food options. If only and we could’ve stayed longer.
The hotel was beautiful and classy. So beautifully decorated. I appreciated the fact that they included social hour with wine, desert time (cookie and pastries) and breakfast in the price. They also gave us wine "passport" which we could use for some freebies at local wineries.
The only thing that was slightly off - was the room representation. I booked deluxe king room and when we checked in, we received the room on the first floor that looked much smaller than it did on the pictures. The staff assured us that this is what the deluxe room is, so we had no choice but to believe it.
Other than that amenities were great - fireplace, in-room jacuzzi tub, robes - it was all there. And we had a wonderful time.
The hotel's ambience greeted us! From the warm French musical tones to the soft smell of vanilla, we felt a sense of relaxation which lasted during our stay.
The music "followed" us into our room and set the mood as we cozied up to the fireplace, released stress in the steam shower, and while the beds were softer than ours at home, we slept well.
The in-house services of breakfast of both continental and freshly prepared to order items, wine hour including a charcutier board, and the dessert hour gave us the opportunity to meet our fellow guests in the lovely parlor. All were unrushed and cozy. Attentive and friendly staff!
Dinner at The Victor was excellent! We shared the fresh greens and beet salad with a delicious vinaigrette dressing, but we each had an excellently cooked hamburger. The duck-fat-fried French fries were outstanding! Highly recommend; after all, we were on vacation!
The hotel is conveniently located to local wineries, other small towns, and the SY Chumash Museum. There are a number of restaurants within walking distance and the SY Historical Society's Museum is across the street.
We will be back!
Great stay in Santa Ynez. Large room and baths. Great outdoor social section for large or smal groups. Enjoyed their wine and dessert hour. New restaurant opened with very delicious menu.

Beautiful big room with timed fireplace! The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom huge. Public spaces including the restaurant and library were beautiful. So we’re the entry space with staircase and outdoor garden. The staff were very nice. Would definitely stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast and wine and cheese for happy hour were lovely. The only thing I thought was lacking was the staff. They didn’t seem very friendly or attentive.
