The property was very comfortable, the breakfast pastries were excellent, and the staff was great. We had a wonderful stay overall. The only drawback about the location was the homeless groups in the park across the street.

This is such a hidden gem. Property is well maintained and rooms are spacious and more importantly squeaky clean. Modern bathroom with walk in shower was a big plus for us. There is enough parking and front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful. Property is so well located that it’s in walkable from the beach and State St. We will definitely come back here next time we are in Santa Barbara.

Very nice property. Rooms were clean. Loved that it had a sliding door for fresh air. Breakfast was a nice perk. Easy walk to the beach. Only thing that wasn't ideal was that the beds were full instead of queen.
