Looking forward to when the lobby is finished. Unfortunately the maintenance team did not respond to our report of the slow draining tub. Location is perfect.

It’s in the perfect spot on State Street. You can walk or ride the bikes they provide to food, drink and shopping. Cigars right down the street and the beach a bit past that, what more can you ask for?

Great rooms, great location

Rooms were awesome! 2 queens with stylish furnishings and comfortable linens. 2 conversation chairs were a nice touch. We stayed for one night. We were aware the lobby was under construction and were expecting worse to be honest but luckily the staff has it down and we couldn't have had a lovelier one-night stay. I would consider staying for longer next time. Location can't be beat for exploring downtown Santa Barbara and walking to the fun restaurants and shops.

Construction

They are doing construction so if they put you in room 203 request to be moved. All I heard for two days was drills, hammers and the floor shook. It was so loud I couldn’t relax at all.
