It was a decent place, but in a terrible location, and not worth $700+ a night. They basically took a beater property and covered it in a bunch of expensive looking stuff. You still get garbage towels and a dirty bathroom with very low water pressure. We had a wonderful view of the dilapidated homes in the very unsafe and gross neighborhood, and the peace and quiet that only comes with listening to all the cars race up and down the very busy street all night. They have no problem charging you $50 to bring a pet, but there is nowhere to walk them without leaving the property and going into the sketchy neighborhood. The breakfast was ok, but pretty basic and more common of a 2 star place. The pictures are doctored to show way more light than there is. Great marketing, but overall a ripoff. There's better places to stay in SB...

The property was freshly decorated and updated. However the room is small, bathroom has almost no counter space. Bring your own shower cap all other amenities you expect from high end hotels. Bot we were mostly disappointed with their breakfast. Not anything close to scrumptious. Expect small , sad looking veggie omelet. Maybe they used 1 or 2 small eggs. Will not stay here again.

We had a fabulous stay at the Hideaway with freshly baked cookies on arrival. Our room and breakfast area was beautifully decorated. Great location to walk to the beach and State Street. We had a delicious breakfast and home baking cooked the following morning. Amazing place, we loved our stay.

The hotel is very cute and well maintained. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Our room was surprisingly spacious and nicely furnished. Overall, a nice hotel perfect for a short stay. The only drawback was the noise. It’s located off a busy street near the highway on ramp. Unfortunately the noise at night made it difficult for us to sleep. If you’re ok with ear plugs then this place would be ideal.
