This hotel was clean and comfortable, had the amenities we were looking for, and the grounds were very pretty. We enjoyed ... the hot apple cider, fresh fruit, and cookies in the lobby.

We stayed one night for our one year wedding anniversary and it was a good hotel for the money. Since location is everything ... it is considerably cheaper than hotels situated in downtown SB. You get what you pay for plus more because the area uptown is actually nicer than downtown. As long as you don't mind driving a bit to get to downtown (heart of State St) then I would highly recommend the Peppertree Inn.

You can do better

whatever Sep 7, 2009

This was OK, but it's a bit of a drive from Downtown, not walkable at all, maybe you could bike it. It's a little older but ... everything was kept up and modern furnishings. Rooms are not big, but that's normal for S.B. It's just not worth the price for a place so far from the action. There was a window AC that sounds like an engine, it was a little hot and muggy, but i didn't run the AC b/c of the noise and my two year old trying to sleep. I was a little hot and wish they had more modern efficiencies. There is a restaurant there but who want's to try it when there is so much good food in S.B.

Although we expected a late check in we actually arrived early and were fortunate in being allowed to check in before 3pm, ... which was very nice and assisted our scheduling. Front desk folks very nice, totally accomodating. Room was cozy and had all amenities we were led to expect. LOTS of pillows, comfy beds. I grew up in SB and the Pepper Tree is a great place to stay whenever I'm back in town for family events or reunions.

It was a little more expensive than i thought it would be. but perhaps it was because it was during memorial day weekend and ... everything was more expensive and required a two night stay minimum. i thought it was a little more closer to downtown when i booked. You definitely need a car if you wish to go downtown from this hotel.

The Pepper Tree In was very welcoming from the start. The front desk staff were very accomidating and helpful. The bus stop ... was across the street and a 1/2 a block away. Very close. Although are visit was short we would recommend this property to others. We did not go to the mall however it was right across the street.

Good Hotel

Terri Jul 24, 2008

Would recommend to a friend!

We stayed here to be close to the Sansum clinic. When the Hotel found that out they gave us an extra $4.00 off per day which ... was nice. The room was very comfortable and clean. There was a microwave and frig which was great! The bed & pillows were very comfortable. Bathroom had tile on the walls and floor and was kept very clean by the Hotel. We enjoyed the friendly staff and our room was pool side. Only bad thing was no elevator and there were 3 floors. With quite a bit of luggage it is kind of a pain. The other thing is the restaurant next to it was awful...! Don't waste your $$ The service and waiters were nice but we had hair in the food. Fried into the French fries on two separate plates yuck So eat somewhere else. We went to the movie theatre a few miles away and it was a beautiful building.
