At first glance it looks solid. Rooms are huge and clean. Waterfall shower is a bonus. Free snacks and water is a huge plus. I thought we were in store for a comfortable night.

We visited the Ostrich Farm ($7 entrance, $1 to feed them), they have a nice gift shop too. AJ's is a nice restaurant for a large portions, down home cooked meal. For quilters, there is a fun quilt store that I enjoy when in Buellton. It's just minutes from Solvang where there is nice shopping, and great pastries, and the Elverhøj Museum of History & Art that is interesting. Of course, there are many places to try wines.

Buellton is the perfect place to explore the San Ynez Valley. Incredibly, there are several towns, just a few minutes apart, with distinctly different vibes. There are dozens of wineries just minutes apart. I wish I had time to name each town, the restaurants, wineries and experiences I had in a too short amount of time, but trust me! I wish I’d stayed longer .

Buellton tends to be overlooked for Solvang but Solvang hotel prices are vastly higher and is only about a 10-minute drive from Buellton. You've still got easy access to restaurants in both Buellton and Solvang, the shops in Solvang, and gas stations + a major grocery store in Buellton. Why pay higher prices for Solvang when you can stay at nice places in Buellton?

There's not a ton to do within Bueltton itself but it's a great central point to stay so you can take day trips to other nearby spots. There are plenty of tasty restaurants plus a couple of markets so food options even for finicky eaters or those with allergies can still find something. If anything, avoid the middle to end of summer: too freaking hot and too many tourists.
Food options within Buellton that I've personally eaten at, recommend, and have online menus to check out before you go: Pea Soup Andersons, Ellen's Pancake House, Eddie's Grill, & Rudy's Mexican Restaurant (all within a 2-minute radius off the 101 highway).

The room was large with a small refrigerator and microwave and a small coffee maker.
When arriving to the room the air conditioner was not working. Problem was quickly solved, after we called the desk. :) This hotel has no elevators so if you have trouble taking a suitcase up approximately 15 or more steps you should be aware of this.
The sliding door in our room opened and you had a view of the pool. You could hear people enjoying the pool. We did leave the door open (it had a screen (hole in it) but kept it open because of the nice breeze and it got quite cool out.
I cannot comment on the breakfast because we left early. The breakfast was served at the Gazebo by the pool outside.
The airstream was adorable and it was great having access to a gas grill with sink for cooking. The resort has a lot of amenities (we didn't use any of them, but my parents did and enjoyed the hot tub and pool). The bed was comfy and overall it was a great stay for us and our pup. The value for the area was excellent, this is close to the highway right near downtown Buellton.
We really liked where the hotel was situated, not too far from restuarents and vineyards. We received two complimentary vouchers for 5 people for a nearby vineyard where we tasted the wine for free and that was thr highlight experience. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Also breakfast was nice they served us with donuts and coffee is free at the lobby.
I thought the location was fine, until I noticed on my bill I was charged a BOOKING FEE! $96.00 for a "cheap" room! This is the first time I have encounter this, so BE CAREFUL! I did not see anything telling me about this fee until AFTER it was booked. I assume this is some is an arrangement the hotel has made with BOOKING.com.
Good location, lots of nearby restaurants and shops, ample parking. Very friendly and helpful staff on 24 hour reception desk - I was given some good recommendations for nearby wineries to visit, where to have dinner and they kindly rang my next hotel for me as I was having issues contacting them.
I did not expect to pay for my own breakfast for such an expensive stay at Marriott. The staff making breakfast forgot to place items in my breakfast to go bag. I had to ask twice for certain items that were missing. The bar area was fun but could use a little music playing.
Spacious, very clean room, very comfortable bed. Fridge and microwave a big plus. Bathroom also very clean.
We had a nice, satisfying breakfast on site before driving to Solvang, for our personal tour (10 min away from Buellton)
Over all - everything was great!
Great and reasonable choice in the middle of Buellton. Clean room and friendly staff. Ample parking. Very good base to go and explore this delightful part of California! Around 10 mins walk from the Hitching Post II, as per the Sideways film!
Very nice hotel for the money. Very clean. Fire pits and putting green were nice . Well lit at night. The complimentary morning danish and muffins , coffee and juices were awesome ! Very quite at 10 pm and after.
The hotel is right next to the busy highway, i heard passing cars' noises all night. The room is very dark. For this price, I expected something special, but this could have been Motel 6, and you wouldn't know
This was a great hotel close to Solvang and surrounding areas. It was clean and new. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pits at night! It also had an excellent hot breakfast with a good variety of foods to chose from.
Hotel is just 3 miles from solvang downtown. Reception staff was very good and helpful. They also provide afternoon coffee and cookies which is appreciated. Their breakfast was very good.
