Clean and Quiet
Great place to stay, nice , clean and quiet. Was here for work, but planning on bringing girlfriend up for weekend. Great restaurant and bar, and reasonable prices.
Only downside was nothing opened up til 8 AM, so if you want a good cup of coffee and get up early, bring your own..
Will definitely be back!!

We stopped by on our way back from the Carrizo plains and would recommend it to anyone. This is a beautifully renovated property, with modern accents. The woman at the bar was extremely friendly. We had a great time

We loved our 2 night stay at Cuyama Buckhorn. It truly is a hidden hideaway in the middle of nowhere. Perfect place to unwind and relax, just a couple hours from LA. The staff was friendly, Sasha was very helpful at checking us in and our waitress Megan at the restaurant was patient and knowledgeable with us on all the vegan options available. We hope to be back again soon!

Gem in a remote and beautiful location
Wonderful job of renovation, but would have appreciated windows that look out at the beautiful empty landscape rather than the interior of the motel and windows that could be opened at night. Food at restaurant was excellent; salad especially exceptional. Friendly staff.

Really did have a very nice stay. The rooms are large and well laid out. They do lack a microwave. What really irked us was the “resort fee” of $ 25. The did give us credit towards food and beverages which we were spending anyway. Overall it was a nice oasis and we will return

This is a unique property where you can really be in the middle of nowhere in a cute hotel with really nice staff. Enjoy the peace and quiet and stargazing for sure.
The minuses were for the mediocre bed, no water pressure shower, and broken WiFi. I’m sure many won’t care about these but for the price they’re expected.

Cowboy Glam!!
So much more than we had hoped for! The rooms were spacious and clean!! The grounds well maintained! But here is what was really cool!! They have s’mores fixing’s in the room, ready to be used in one of the fire pits on the grounds! Also, the restaurant is excellent with a wonderful bar! All in all, a bit of glam cowboy in the middle of rural California! And for those of you with electric cars, they have 3 charging stations, with 2 of them for Teslas!

Decent
Great hotel, very clean and lots of things to do on site. Restaurant food was decent but nothing special. Bar has great ambiance and town regulars are in the mix adding to the charm. Staff seemed like they did not know what they were doing and I got different answers from different people. There was rarely anyone staffing the lobby which seemed to aggravate a few guests with questions about their bills trying to check out before 11am.

A little too special
For $500 a night once all the resort fees, taxes, etc., are added in, it just didn’t seem right. Plus they close the bar/restaurant at 8 and only had 2 people serving maybe 40-50 guests? I get the retro vibe, but something is off. Maybe the pandemic threw them for a loop.

Great location with beautiful sunsets for an escape! Just make sure to look at your receipts and read everything cause they do have a lot of additional fees. Processing fees for every order/drink/hotel room (on top of resort fees/taxes) just be prepared for that. Even the mini bar had an additional one time fee. Everything is also priced like Los Angeles prices. I had two ice coffees that cost $18 dollars (not including tip) being from LA just wasnt expecting that out in Cuyama. Other than that cute hotel with a great pool and staff is lovely.

the property was lovely and a lot of thought was put into its renovation. The only problem was that we could not get onto the internet. An error message "wrong password" kept coming up, and the person we talked to kind of shrugged it off as poor reception. Which, I guess, was true and perhaps unpreventable, but her attitude was dismissive.

The property itself is amazing, all the finishes of this hotel are beautiful and it’s extremely comfortable. I gave 4 stars because of the restaurant, the food selection and taste was ok. It’s a limited menu and it’s the same for lunch and dinner. Taking into consideration that there is not much to eat in this area, you have all your meals here so you end up with the same small menu and it wasn’t great.
Also, we stayed for the BBQ experience on Saturday and it’s nice but the bbq meat is served really cold so we ended up taking it to go because it wasn’t enjoyable at all. Maybe a warming tray like the ones at the catering service would work fine. We didn’t enjoy this food at all. Sorry and it’s too bad because the ambiance and music was great but sometimes a bad meal can ruin your experience.

Hidden Fees!
This is a super cute hotel. It's a really nice get away. Not much to do so this is more of a quiet getaway.
The problem is the extra fee not listed anywhere. Through Hotels.com I was charged for room, tax, resort fee, local tax. When I checked out, I was told they would check the room for damages and if anything was taken from the minibar. A bill would then get sent out later. The bill came higher due to a Processing Fee and additional STax. I called to clarify this and no answer. Left messages no reply. Hotels.com also tried calling them and no answer. What a horrible way to run a business. Also, Hotels.com didn't do anything to remedy this. Both fails for me.

Room was clean and nice. Queen size bed was small…it was more like double size. Restaurant offered decent food (we had three meals there) but one dish, Fish’n Chip was over fried…so was French fries that were served with. Dining room for dinner was uninviting and cold. Breakfast/lunch section was bright and nice but closed off for dinner. Why not open the nice section for guests…perplexing. Bar was nice but it was full. Excellent coffee(although it was the instant kind) was offered in the room but no cream. Their excuse was the supplier hadn’t delivered them yet. We stayed two nights. They should’ve supplied cream from the restaurant as there was a small refrigerator in the room. We chose this place for the proximity to Carrizo Plain. Will stay again? Less likely.
