Great location and restaurant, rude front desk staff

Love the location and restaurant on property. Was very disappointed in the hotel staff. Checked in on a rainy night no assistance offered for luggage or parking. No housekeeping M-W. “Turn down service” didn’t even restock basic bathroom amenities. For the price paid the value just wasn’t there. Front desk staff was rude and confrontational solving folio questions. Very disappointed as my wife and I were looking to make this a regular getaway.
Solo Holiday Fun in Los Olivos

Delighted to report a warm and wonderful solo adventure weekend thanks to the great hospitality at Fess Parker. From check in to check out, gracious and accommodating staff. Restaurant recommendations were spot on: Nella and Wine Merchant Cafe. Lively Saturday night in the bar area after Christmas tree lighting was fun. As a solo traveler I always appreciate the same level of service that’s bestowed on couples couples couples. Thank you team!
Wine Cottage

Four of us booked the wine cottage for three nights in the beginning of Oct. It is a beautiful 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom cottage that sits behind the Epiphany Tasting Room which makes it very convenient for tastings there. When booking the cottage you get complimentary tasting to Epiphany and Fess Parker. The cottage has a large living area with comfortable sofas and a full kitchen. The cottage was spotless and the air conditioning worked great. There is also an outdoor area but we spent our time at Epiphany enjoying the wine. You can use the Fess Parker Inn facilities but we didn’t have time to take advantage of them. The staff was kind enough to call us when the cottage was ready so we could get in early. There was a Keurig as well as a drip coffee maker.
Wonderful Stay

Lovely hotel on the main drag in Los Olivos. The rooms are very large and luxurious and well appointed. I didn't hear any noise from the street and while it was incredibly hot outside the two air systems in my room kept it more than comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the restaurant is spectacular. And they place a wonderful bottle of wine in each room. Such a great touch!
If you can afford to stay here, we highly recommend it.

If you are accustomed to the best in life, you will feel right at home here. We had Suite One and it was an experience unlike any other we’ve had. Understated, luxurious, quiet, perfection, what a way to live.o
