Property is tired and worn…never had our room refurbished with new towels or bed made up. Breakfast options were old and stale. Roof was being retiled so daytime noise was horrible. All doors from outside were always open so lobby/sitting area was cold and security was a concern. Way over priced for what we got for our money.

My bed sheets had a hole in them. The linen looked like a 1990s Dixie cup The room was missing the remote control completely. I asked for a replacement and they said for me to download an app and use my phone as the remote. The restroom fan is ridiculously hot so you can’t go 2 mins without burning your hairs. BUT….. the decor is amazing, the exterior is also beautiful and the place is nice and cozy under the right circumstances.

The Villa Rosa Inn -A beautiful inn -very close to the Santa Barbara wharf, and had lots of charm! we stayed there for a few days and enjoyed the ambiance and the beautiful surroundings. If you have mobility check out the rooms on the first floor as there is a lengthy flight of stairs to the second. Overall a great experience

Hidden fees
I’m rating three stars because: 1. The hotel charges a “resort fee” at checkin. I wish these were illegal. Just bundle with the cost of the room. 2. There was no soap in the shower. This is a basic thing that should always be checked before each guest arrives. 3. The noise isolation of the room was pretty poor, but I guess that’s to be expected with a building of this age. Other than that the surrounding area was nice and the hotel had a comforting ambience.

Was a nice convenient location for walking to the waterfront. Very unique property, with an amazing apartment style room, though we were not very happy that there was an additional "fee" when we arrived at the property. We had prepaid via Expedia and were told this is always not missed and so had to pay the additional fee that we were unaware of. Good breakfast, but the waffle maker kept breaking and the person kept saying it was the way people were doing it - though it worked for NO ONE. Overall enjoyable place and very unique, would recommend, but be aware you may owe additional money when you show up!

Quaint property. We stayed in the king suite with the kitchen. Very enjoyable and we love the convenience of the short distance to the beach, wharf, pier, Funk Zone and State Street.
