In Santa Barbera up the road from his hotel.
The other reason I like the place is they are beyond dog friendly. They put some real nice cookies on your bed at turn down.
For your baby doggies, they will put fresh water bowl in the room twice a day, give them treats and even walk them complimentary.
They even give out some “smell good” cologne for dogs with gas. LoL.
You gotta go!
Hey, there is even a beautiful mission up the road. I love walking around there.
I have a bottle of Fess Parker's "Frontier Red" in my wine rack right now; it's the third that I've bought. We've a local grocery with a really nice wine selection - I saw that and had to try it. Goes great with a nice charcoal-grilled steak - just be sure to let it breathe while you're attending to the grill... this is a hot wine, over 15% alcohol by volume. I'm no wine snob, so I don't mind the screw-cap bottle (kinda makes for a good camping wine, actually).
Hey, would Fess steer you wrong?
