I can't say enough about how incredible our experience was at the Rancho Murrieta Inn & Spa, where we celebrated our wedding this past May. From the moment we began planning until the very last dance of the night, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel like the most important guests in the world. Mary, Jonathan, and Cailey were simply phenomenal. They treated us with so much warmth and attentiveness that we truly felt like we were the only couple getting married there. Every detail was handled with care, and they made sure our venue looked absolutely stunning. The food was outstanding, the drinks were fantastic, and every single member of the staff was so attentive that we felt like royalty. What really stood out was how seamless and easy they made the entire process. They were communicative, flexible, and just an absolute joy to work with from day one. The grounds are beautiful, with so many gorgeous spots for photography. Plus, the location was just perfect, and the weather even played along wonderfully. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding day, and that’s entirely thanks to the Rancho Murrieta Inn & Spa team. If you’re considering a venue that treats you like family and makes your day absolutely magical, look no further. We are endlessly grateful and can’t recommend them highly enough!

I stayed at the Murrieta Inn & Spa and was genuinely surprised by how beautiful the area is. I wasn’t familiar with Murrieta before visiting, but sitting at the bar in the evenings and chatting with the locals made it clear how much people love living here. It’s very much a horse‑ranch and equestrian community, which gives the whole area a relaxed, countryside charm that I really enjoyed. The hotel itself is beautiful…warm, inviting, and upscale without feeling pretentious. The bar and restaurant area is especially fun in the evenings, and the locals make it even better. It’s the kind of place where conversations start easily, and you get a real sense of the community.

Excellent staff. Beautiful rooms. Ultra clean. The food is okay. The decor and pool are top notch. It is worth splurging on a balcony room facing the pool. Sunsets are lovely.

What a "build it they will come" location. Very nice hotel, good rates, close to the Plymouth wine country. They should offer wine tours. It was exactly what we were looking for for a night away, that was close, but far enough away you felt like you got out of town.

This is a fantastic find. We have stayed here several times while visiting wine country and it's absolutely beautiful. However, this last stay we were in a ground level room and it was horrible. There were weird sounds ALL night that sounded like a motorcycle outside our room. Disappointed for the price.

We didn’t stay in the rooms, which is why I didn’t rate them, but it’s got kind of a 1980s vibe with lots of services. You can get a nice massage and pedicure and all that fun stuff fun little restaurant great pool not a lot of places between here and the wineriesgood for a group. This is perfect. sorry I had to go back in my mind. I see this as a five star experience for the neighborhood nice old world original wine country with a fun restaurant pool and great facilities as I say if I’m going up with a group of people this could be fun :-) oh and thank your crew in the Spa for the free Candry and great walk-through
