Stay here was pretty good overall. Rooms were clean and staff was pleasant. The only downside was not having any front desk or staff on property after midnight/2am. Not sure what procedures are in place if something is needed when no one is around.

If you like being down at the Waterfront, it’s a great location and walkable. Super clean, but no real frills. Bare Bones complimentary breakfast. Front Desk staff are extremely pleasant. Adequate for a one or two night stay.

Definitely recommend

Its hard to select a hotel online. I came to town for a medical appointment and only needed to stay for one night and was not looking for a fancy place with lots of amenities. However, I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel! It was modern, clean, had easy free parking, and free breakfast. It was a short 2 block walk to the beach and had many nearby restaurants. The price was very affordable. I would definitely stay again!

Great stay!

The hotel was very nice and in a great location to be able to do many things within walking distance. The room was clean and had a lovely vibe to it! The hotel staff was very kind and helpful. Booking, check in and check out were all easy and convenient processes. The complimentary breakfast was great and of course the waffle maker was a big hit.

Clean and comfortable rooms, great location.

Only blocks away from the beach, easy walk to State Street and the Funk Zone. On the northern side of Santa Barbara, away from the more crowded areas. They have breakfast with the standard offerings, didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel, as there are so many great places to eat in SB. Rooms are not cleaned daily (on 3rd day of stay) but you can ask for clean towels when needed. Parking for one car only in their lot, but street parking is available, just be sure to read the signs.
