Fess Parker Wine Country Inn

My sister and I stayed at the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn on Friday and Saturday (July 24th and the 25th) as we were attending my nieces wedding that just happened to also be at the Fess Parker Winery. To say that the wedding was beautiful and joyous would be an understatement as my niece and new nephew in law beamed as they took their vows. My niece especially was radiant!!! About the Inn ... Easy a 7 star property and I have traveled extensively for work an have had the privilege to stay at many 5+ star properties around the globe. Fess Parker Wine Country Inn does not disappoint from the moment you drive up to the property. Charming doesn't begin to do it justice, it's beautiful, the front desk staff is courteous and welcoming. No detail is overlooked from the quality of the bedding and linen's to the décor and the bathroom amenities. Thank you for the steamer in the room, I was on "dress" duty. The grounds are meticulously maintained and the pool and adjacent outdoor "living room" a great place for a swim our lounging with a good book. The restaurant is exquisite and the bar lively (Go Dodger's!). Cannot wait to return, I highly recommend this property.

We stayed at the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn over the weekend, and it was a lovely time! From pre-arrival communication experience to being on site, staff were professional and friendly and fast responsive. The rooms and in room amenities were adorable and very clean. The location is very charming with several wineries within walking distance. The Nella Kitchen on site restaurant atmosphere was also lovely. We rented e-bikes from across the street and e-biked the wine country down to Solvang. Great weekend getaway to unplug and relax.

Beautiful hotel in a wonderful little town! I would stay here again over and over! Our room was elegant yet cozy and provided us with every amenity imaginable.

Save yourself the trouble and stay anywhere else. This so-called "luxury" hotel has a major insect problem and an even bigger customer service problem. Within an hour of checking into our spacious room, a huge insect was crawling on me in the bed. My husband found another one in the bathroom shortly after. As someone with a phobia, I was absolutely horrified. When we complained, the staff didn't care. Their solution? A shrug and the excuse that "it's the countryside." Nobody came to look. Nobody apologized. They just moved us and considered the problem solved. The lack of professionalism is breathtaking. I stay in this area all the time and have never experienced this at other hotels. The fact that they try to pass this off as normal is insulting. I spent the entire night anxious and unable to sleep. Do not waste your money here. The management has shown they have no interest in providing a clean, safe, or comfortable experience.

The rooms are comfortable and nice, the staff delightful, and the restaurant located at the hotel but under different ownership had excellent food. In fact, my wife who loves flatbreads and I thought their onion/cheese flatbread was the best flatbread we had ever tasted. There was a comfortable library with a large working desk and nice grounds with multiple places to sit. The downsides were the cost of our stay and the breakfasts. At $1200 for a weekend night, I could only give the value 2 stars out of 5. And the breakfast was pitiful for a luxury hotel, much more similar to a Day's Inn, and the same every day. My other suggestion for improvement would be to have some way to shut off the bedroom from the sitting room. My wife is an early riser and I am not. With a door to the bedroom she could go to the sitting room and not bother me. Instead she had to get dressed and go to the library.
