Loved this place! Super cute and homey. Great location and morning staff was great and helpful. Night staff was a little sketchy, complained about my kids going in the pool at 830pm when it was open until 10 but then she left thru the back alley for like an hour.

Perfect location steps from beach. 3 minute walk to Amtrak station, restaurants, bars, museums, State St, shopping. Pool, spa, continental breakfast and evening wine and hors douvres, no resort feee or parking fees. So while this is an older hotel, given that we only used it for sleeping and the room was clean, we think this was great value for money compared with other hotels in the same vicinity.

this hotel is our favorite for Santa Barbara weekend getaways! a half a block from the beach = walking distance to the pier and several great restaurants... and it's super cute. pool and hottub area are nice and quiet... lots of statues and plants throughout. staff is friendly and helpful, although front desk isn't manned 24hrs, they are responsive. it's an old building and the decor is antique-ish, but comfortable. definitely recommend!
