I think this hotel was way over priced.We usually stay at the Harbor view hotel and get a room with ocean view for the price we paid for this hotel,and the stairs were too much for my knees. We asked for a lower level room and were told no because I had used the bathroom and soap.We will not be staying at this property again

Sweet Santa Barbara hotel

We loved the cozy Inn feel of this sweet hotel. Very lush landscaping and felt so welcomed by desk staff. The complimentary beverage area, and evening complimentary happy hour was also a nice touch! Our only issue was with the bed pillows needing to be replaced. Great hotel for a great price. We will be back.

Staff was very helpful. Beds were comfortable. The AC had a slightly moldy smell to it and our room never was cleaned in the four nights but it was fine. Super convenient location. We walked to the beach, food and shopping.

Was just okay...wouldn't stay again.

Our stay here was adequate but honestly we will not be staying here again in the future. The property is older and feels and looks out of date. Rooms were clean but out of date. Bathrooms were updated which was a plus. Pool area was okay and hot tub worked well. Lobby breakfast and cheese/wine afternoon was nice but very small lobby and sitting outside was challenging with all the traffic going by. Location was great...we could walk to the harbor and wharf which was the best part. The pictures online give you the impression that it is in better shape than it really is. There's plenty of other options in the area that I would look at next time.
