This property is close to State Street which is great for walking to shops and restaurants. However, this property is right on the main road, it is very loud with traffic. The property is a motel conversion is not entirely up to date. Some of the electrical outlets did not work. The mini fridge did not work, the AC does not stay on. With the noise from the traffic, staff and guests, it was very hard to get restful sleep.

Great location! Place was very clean and the a/c was great. The pool was fresh and was in the sun which I loved. The cabanas were really cute! Staff was really friendly. Only giving 4 stars for the valet which was $32 per day. The parking lot is so small so we could’ve literally parked our own car ourselves. Also, for the water pressure in the shower, it would fluctuate to really low or really high. So it was a bit annoying especially if you have longer hair. But overall, I would stay here again. Aesthetically, it’s the prettiest hotel I’ve seen in SB, with the flowers draping over and colors.

ANNOYING!

I have stayed her maybe 20 times with my kids and this stay I must say was awful. We have 4 kids - they offer a family room- that is why we stay there and literally EVERY single time my kids walked in the room we got a call from the front desk that the people below us were complaining. It got to the point that as soon as my kids woke up we dressed them in bed and made them leave the room. WE COULDNT EVEN BE IN THE ROOM. It is not our fault we were put on a second floor and its a family freakin hotel! For $2000 for 2 nights it was absolutely miserable and left us questioning if we will ever return.

Loved the location. We were in a room that had not been remodeled yet and the room was way over due for one - but since we were traveling with a dog we figured they were putting pet owners or people who booked via 3rd parties into those room.
