Hotel Policies
Taxes & Fees: Room rates are subject to change. Room rates do not include:
Occupancy Tax: 14.195%
Mandatory TBID fee: $3.00 per night
Deposit Policy: All reservations require a credit card deposit of the first night + tax due at time of booking. This deposit will be authorized to your credit card at the time of booking.
Cancellation Policy: Reservations must be cancelled 72 hours prior to arrival to avoid a penalty of one night's 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. Early departures will be charged a $100 fee and may be subject to third party booking terms where applicable. Reservations not cancelled in advance and not honored by the guest will be charged the full deposit amount, with no further liability to the hotel.
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.
Check-In Policy: Check-in is guaranteed after 3pm. Early check-in opportunities may be assessed on the day of arrival, based on availability. The reservation holder must be at least 18 years of age and present a valid government-issued photo identification at check-in.
Check-Out Policy: Keys must be returned by 11am. Late check-out up to 1pm is based on availability and has a fee. After 1pm, 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.
Occupancy Policy: All rooms have a maximum double occupancy, with the exception of our Kitchen Deluxe. 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 forfeiture of your reservation without refund. Owners are solely responsible for any injury, damage, or nuisance caused by their pets. Service animals, as defined under the ADA, are always welcome at no charge regardless of this policy. A waiver may be requested.
Group 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/Vaping Policy: Our hotel is a non-smoking facility. Smoking and vaping are not permitted in the rooms or on patios. Smoking/vaping is restricted to the designated smoking area by lawn and the guest parking lot. Smoking/vaping inside could result in a damage assessment of up to $1000.
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.
Pool Use: All pool guests must be 21 years of age or older. Use of the pool and surrounding facilities is at your own risk. No lifeguard is on duty. Guests assume all risks associated with swimming and use of the pool area, including slips, falls, and other injuries. Guests must comply with all posted pool rules and staff instructions. The Hotel reserves the right to deny or revoke pool access, without refund, for unsafe, disruptive, or intoxicated behavior or for violations of hotel policies. The Hotel is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal property or for the conduct of other guests or their pets, except as required by applicable law. Pool hours, access, and availability are subject to change due to weather, maintenance, capacity, or operational needs.
Hours of Operation:
Fire Pit Hours - 9am-10pm
Quiet Hours - 10pm-9am
Damage Fee: Guests are responsible for any damage, loss, or excessive cleaning required as a result of their actions, the actions of members of their party, or visitors they permit on the property. The hotel may charge the payment method authorized for the stay for verified damage, loss, excessive cleaning, or other applicable costs. Charges will be based on the reasonable cost incurred by the hotel and will not be used as a penalty.
The hotel is not responsible for the loss, theft, disappearance, or damage of personal belongings brought onto or left anywhere on hotel premises, including guest rooms, common areas, parking areas, and other hotel facilities, except as required by applicable law.
Personal information collected at booking and check-in is handled in accordance with Hotel Ynez’s Privacy Policy, available here.
