Hotel Policies
Taxes & Fees: Room rates do not include:
14.195% Santa Barbara County occupancy tax
$3/Night Local TBID fee
Deposit Policy: All reservations require a credit card deposit of the first night + tax due at time of booking.
Cancellation Policy: Reservations must be canceled 72 hours prior to arrival to avoid a penalty of one-night room and tax. Reservations cancelled within 24 hours of booking may be cancelled with no penalty, unless within 72 hours of check-in. Any reservation that has a change of dates within 72 hours of check-in will be subject to penalty.
Incidental Hold Policy: A valid credit card is required at check-in. An incidental hold of $100 will be placed on your credit card at check-in and released upon check-out. We do not recommend Debit Cards for use, since this hold will freeze funds in the checking account.
Lobby Hours: Front Desk staff is available from 7am - 10pm. If you plan for an after-hours arrival, we will make check-in arrangements with you directly via the phone number and email address provided at booking. Emergency after-hours help can be reached at 805.344.0104.
Check-In: Guaranteed at 3pm or later. Early check-in opportunities may be assessed on the day of arrival, based on availability.
Check Out: Keys must be returned by 11am. Late check-out up to 1pm is based on availability and has a fee. After 2pm, the guest is subject to the full nights room rate + tax.
Key Policy: Each room receives one key. Extra keys must be signed out separately and are also subject to the lost key fee. Each lost key is subject to a $250 replacement and door relock fee.
21& Over Pool Policy: The pool is for hotel guests only. Hotel Ynez creates an adult environment, so all guests must be 21 and over to access the pool.
Family Policy: While Hotel Ynez welcomes guests of all ages, the hotel caters to an adult clientele. We ask that all guests carefully monitor their children so as not to affect the experience of our other guests. Please note: guests must be 21+ to access the pool.
Quiet Hours: Please be mindful of quiet hours in common areas from 10pm - 9am.
Occupancy Policy: All non-suite rooms have a maximum double occupancy. We do not provide any rollaways, cribs, or pullouts. Non-adherence to this policy may result in a forfeiture of your reservation.
Pet Policy: Dogs are the only pets permitted at the hotel. A fee of $50 per dog (limit 2) per stay will be added to the reservation. Dogs must be on leash at all times and accompanied by the owner at all times. Dogs must not be left alone in rooms at any time during your stay. Failure to adhere to either of these policies could result in a $500 fee per incident.
Groups Policy: Any bookings of 5 or more rooms must be booked as an event. Groups that do not book as an event are subject to cancellation without refund.
Smoking Policy: Our hotel is a non-smoking facility and smoking or vaping is not permitted in the rooms or on patios. Smoking is restricted to the designated smoking area by lawn and the guest parking lot. Smoking inside could result in a damage assessment of up to $500.
Parking Policy: The property provides one parking space per room, but due to the property's layout, it is not assigned. Please see the front desk if you cannot find the allotted spot. There is nearby street parking available for additional vehicles. Hotel Ynez is not responsible for any damage or theft to vehicles.
EV Charging Policy: EV chargers are for paying guests of Hotel Ynez only. Chargers are first-come, first-serve. Please be mindful of others and move the vehicle when charging is complete.
Liability Policy: I hereby release Hotel Ynez from all liability if I choose to utilize any of the facilities on this property. Hotel Ynez is not responsible for loss or damage to any valuables. Additionally, Hotel Ynez is privately owned and operated and reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.
