We make this trip at least once a year and love staying at The Vic! So much charm and romance. The room themes put you in a good mood. They are the best decorated that I have come across. Very immersive with attention to detail. Recommended for couples and groups of couples. Staff is wonderful. Great food nearby.

The innkeepers are all really personable and kind. The rooms are beautiful with hand painted murals, themed movies, music, and a game. We got a tour of a few of the other themed rooms that were unoccupied at the time. We stayed in the French themed room. It was beautiful; lots of attention to detail. Breakfast and a bottle of wine is included in a night's stay. Breakfast was delicious. We were served quiches & muffins one day and apple tarts & croissants another day. The area is beautiful to look at and peaceful. There is an amazing pizza place just across the street. There are antiques nearby. It is near Solvang, wine tasting, and farms to visit. We will go again.

Best rooms and staff. Friendly and clean. They helped set up a couples massage and a wine tour that was all amazing. It was a wonderful vacation for a few days and a quick drive from LA. We will definitely come back. It's very quirky and we loved it.

Wow. Just wow. We stayed in two different rooms for my birthday festivities treat, both were spectacular. This is a fantastic place for a romantic get-away or even a single treat-yourself-adventure. Some of the many plusses:
*attention to detail - everything top to bottom is in service of creative expression of the room experience
*staff - could not be better, everyone we dealt with was great and made the experience enjoyable.
*online reservation system works flawlessly (not always the case with these small independently owned properties)
*eating your breakfast while sitting in the tub is wonderfully decadent, just saying
*you're supporting a small, locally owned business - not some giant shareholder driven hotel chain
Things to know:
*Los Alamos is a really small town. There's a limited selection of restaurants, Santa Maria is 15 miles up the road with more offerings
*this is not a great property for the physically challenged, the beds and baths are all raised on stairs and require some agility to climb in and out of. Watch the steps on the tubs with wet feet. Really watch the carpeted steps up to the bed after a glass of wine ;)
*the tubs do not have jets, they are deep soaking tubs with two seats facing each other (look closely at the pictures) this does inhibit frolicking in the tub unless you're really limber, while this may seem like a bummer it's actually incredibly romantic; take my word
*there is no staff on site during your stay, they will be there for check in and check out (call if you're going to depart or arrive outside the stated window) it's a little like staying in an AirBnB
*they do supply a few themed movies for the small hidden screen, but frankly, if you're watching TV in a place like this and not paying attention to your partner you're doing it wrong

Definitely a unique experience, all the rooms are themed and very romantic. All rooms have awesome bath tubs and hand painted art. I highly recommend it for a nice weekend getaway.
