• Guests may check in any time after 3:00pm. For early check-in requests, please contact the Front Desk for availability at 805-893-7000. The Front Desk operates 24/7, but the Lobby is only open to the public 8:00am-8:00pm, daily. Key card access is required for guests after hours. For guests who have late arrivals, advance notice is appreciated.
• Guests must check out by 11:00am. We ask that you return your room key to the Front Desk upon check out. Late check outs must be approved by the Front Desk and are based upon occupancy. Any guest who does not have an approved late check out and who does not vacate their room by 11:00am may incur a Late Check-Out Fee.

We ask that all cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance of your check-in date. To cancel a reservation, please call the Front Desk at 805-893-7000 or email [email protected]. For cancellations with less than 48-hour notice, one night's stay will be charged to the credit card on file.

Failure to check in before 11:30pm or notify the Front Desk on the date of your arrival, will be considered a No-Show and incur a one-night room charge. The room will be released back into general inventory and available for booking. The Club & Guest House is not responsible for alternate accommodations.
