Hotels near Rutiz Family Farms in Arroyo Grande

These are condos, not a ”hotel” We had a 1br and there was a fireplace and kitchen with fridge & microwave. There was no A/C, but it was cool enough to open the windows even in August. It is older, but updated and the condo was clean. The linens were cheap and there is minimal kitchen ware, but adequate for a 2 night stay. We enjoyed the easy walk to the beach and the sunrise & sunsets, although most shops & restaurants were closed due to Covid. But the Pismo Beach Pier was a short drive and open with many restaurants and shops.

First, I want to say Thumb Up to the manager that actually read this column and corrected the breakfast complaint by getting the HI famous Cinnamon Rolls back to the breakfast menu. Our family of 4 stayed 1 night after visiting Santa Barbara and Solvang. Check in is speedy because we did the online check in. We are assigned to the Chablis building on second floor Room 200 and I actually paid extra to have balcony as this is our first time staying in hotel after the pandemic. For 2 years, we haven’t the confidence to travel and stay in hotel till recently all members in the family are fully vaccinated with my husband and I have our booster shot and the 2 teenagers have at least 2 shots as well as the pandemic seem not to morph into common flu. Spacious room and love that a built in area that one can open the luggage easily and there are built in hanger/hook that we can hang hat, jacket and handbag! I found this feature also in the HI Fisherman Wharf. Front desk person is responsive to needs after entered into room, we needed extra towels and a razor though we didn’t received in the room because delivered to the wrong room and we had to walk back to lobby to get them. I am glad that the front desk communicated to us why the items not delivered. We understand the mistake but we appreciate the communication so we know that the items are delivered except to the wrong room. Might want to send someone to fix the handle of the drawers on the bottom, loose and crooked to the side of pulled. Also, the bath tub handle, the water came out from top and bottom this the water pressure very low coming out from the shower head, this needs fixing. Sorry, we should have told the front desk when we checked out. Love the newly added cinnamon rolls and they have the auto made pancake! Hooray, you bring back one of the most significant features of HI complimentary breakfast! I am not sure I am being greedy to ask for waffles in the future? No need self made, just pre-made a small batch, don’t use the bought from store pre-made as we can taste frozen and fresh from waffle iron. That is if can accommodate as I am waffle rather than pancake eater. Overall, LOVE this property and highly recommend if you are visiting Solvang, Santa Barbara or SLO, stop at this property as the management does seem to care about the comfort of the guests and actually reading this column to see can improve. For this, please support this property if you are around the area visiting and need a place to rest. It is a very nice hotel!

Checking in was a funky experience because it’s done through a zoom like interaction with someone off site. Was easy enough though. Room was spacious and clean. Parking and the property was also great. Would stay here again if ever in the area.

I stayed at Spyglass Inn with my 11 yo daughter, my cousin, and her 10 yo. The girls enjoyed the hot tub and pool and we really LOVED the fire pit area. It was so beautiful outside with the flowers, the view and walking path. We got to make smores and watch the sunset! We did have an incident with our initial room where there were a bunch of gnats or flies, but the hotel staff responded quickly and moved our room. This was a bummer because that room felt more updated and had partial ocean view. We ended up in a lower level room with a nice back patio. It wasn't as updated as the first room, but it was still nice and did what we needed it too, which was to provide us a comfortable place to sleep. The room was bug free and there was enough space for the four of us. I wouldn't say it was the best room we've ever been in but overall it was fine. There is a portable fan, wifi, small fridge, desk, and chair, drawers for clothes if needed, and a tv. The TV was terrible quality BUT who needs a tv while you're on vacation anyways lol Lastly, it was quiet for us. We had no issues with noise. They have a microwave in the lobby and some free refreshments (coffee, tea, water). You can also purchase snacks from them. We would stay again specifically for the customer service and the outside fire pit area. Also, parking was included which was very much appreciated.

We have stopped here many times over the years and found good value. More recently prices have escalated significantly. Make your reservation directly by phone as the personal communication about the room is helpful to understand what your getting. The views and location determine room price. Second floor with Ocean view seems best for us. Some second floor rooms do not have elevator access just stairs. As time goes on, some of the larger plants are beginning to block the ocean views. No pets. Coffee in lobby after 7 am. Nice people.

The hotel is right on the beach, the environment is good, but the room is very general, not worth the price, the hotel does not have a swimming pool, breakfast can only be eaten, the water is not smooth, it feels disgusting, but the hotel's large terrace is very comfortable with fire The equipment, other facilities besides the beach, because it is not so much to pay for a night, and the city center has not gone.

The rooms are small but immaculate and the location doesn’t get better than this it’s literally 20 yards from the beach and 15 yards to the pier. We park our car and there are at least 50 restaurants within walking distance we never get back into the car. Every year we have come we enjoy seeing the gray whales or humpback whales. And watching the dolphins surf with the surfers in the evening. The staff are amazing and the manager Michael is wonderful. This is our fourth trip there and we are already booked for next year

It was a great improvement from the last time I stayed a out 7 years ago.

The food was not good. There were other guests smoking ********* both nights we stayed and the smoke lingered into our room. I was very disappointed that the hotel staff did not intervene and implement the no smoking policy they have posted all over the hotel. There were a lot of children staying at the hotel, it’s unfortunate that they had to be there with all of that smoke down halls across from the pool.
