We (2 couples) found our rooms be dark and outdated, the furniture old and faded. The paint and wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling. The 1st night we were there, the spa jets weren't working and it took the hotel staff ~45 minutes to fix it. We did enjoy having our own spa. The hotel itself is lovely with spectacular... More

We booked the one bedroom spa Suite and thoroughly enjoyed it. The room was clean and in good shape. One can always argue with the decor as all tastes are different. The room has a small private patio that housed the hot tub. The patio had two chairs and a table. We whiled away the evenings drinking local wine and... More

Spend the money and stay in the meadows. The other properties ate rum down rat traps. Too bad the management is so greedy and short term thinking. Paradise ruined.

We just got back from a two night stay here and we loved it. The rooms were a little outdated and they could have used some outdoor furniture, but we loved the private hot springs. There was no need to use the other hot springs pools on the property if you book a room with your own hot springs tub.... More

This was a great place to start our vacation. You can hike up a small mountain with great views or into Avila, an ocean-side resort community, soak in a private hot tub in the trees, or drive into San Luis Obispo. Some people mentioned fees. I added up the facilities charge, the hot tub charges, even breakfast one morning and... More

We didn't stay here, we just went to the mineral springs. They're $13.50 during the week and $17.50 Fri-Sun per person. But it was $35 well spent! Each spring tub is completely secluded from the others, so you have a private location. The water is beautifully warm and soft, and each tub has a sheltered patio area around it for... More

My wife and I needed a couple days away and though we had never been here decided to give it a try. Check in was smooth and we headed for the bar to try some wine. The atmosphere of the bar is very comfortable with a fireplace but the bartender who waited on us was somewhat rude. The wine list... More

Some reviews/ratings do not do this place justice; it is well worth the money just to be totally free from stress, to soak in your own personal sulphur hot tub looking up at the stars is just incredibly peaceful and relaxing. We had driven passed the Sycamore spa hotel on our way to Avila beach, which in its own right... More
