Comfortable bed, extremely friendly and courteous front desk gal!
It was a wonderful place to stay. We made a last minute reservation and got checked in late at night with no issues. Very welcoming and delightful staff.
A well appointed and cozy place to stay! We stayed as a family of 4. The location is nice and easy to walk to the beach and local restaurants. Would highly recommend!!
This was truly one of our most enjoyable stays in Santa Barbara. The hotel offered a very tranquil and convenient location, with easy access to various dining options. The in-room amenities were exceptional, and we appreciated that everything was newly remodeled. The beds were both clean and comfortable. Overall, this provided a wonderful setting for creating cherished family memories.
Greetings from the staff, who helped accommodate us since we were running a 1/2 marathon, and let us check out a few minutes late. The room was spotless and in excellent condition. The proximity to the beach and restaurants was spot on. Would highly recommend to anyone and would definitely stay again.
