The Breakfast in a Bag was a really nice touch. Front Desk personnel was very informative & helpful
Quaint small old school hotel...not the average over priced mega hotel
We enjoyed our stay. The grounds were immaculate and well tended to. The rooms could use some updating but for the price it was well worth the stay. No resort fee, free parking, free to-go breakfast. Very friendly staff. We will return!
Hotel was walking distance to multiple places! For example state street and strains Wharf.
Wonderful location! Frank was helpful, generous and a great host.
Quiet, clean. Unlimited beach cruiser use. Would be nice to have a microwave in the room.
Very clean and great customer service.. walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops!!
Came here for a work trip. The staff was excellent. Really helpful and kind. Rooms were clean as a whistle. Great extras like free breakfast, wine and cheese snacks in 1afternoon, and cookies and milk at night. All day coffee! Nice pool and hot tub (actually hot). Also, complimentary bikes to ride to the beach- so close! Nice bike path. The staff told me how to reach it all. These things help you overlook the rooms being rather dated- but still very clean. The bed was excellent. Also, my water pressure in the shower was not great. But all things considered, it was a nice stay.
Evening wine and cheese, cookies and milk provided great opportunity to meet other guests for socializing. Desk personnel extremely helpful!
Tropical surroundings of the property was amazing. Only issue i had was with the cleanliness of the pool cushions.
On the pros: good location, and amenities. American breakfast surpasses standards, and they offer wine, cookies, cheese and crackers in the early evening. All included in the night rate which is great. Staff is attentive. Few cons: our room was not too clean, we found a couple of insects in the bathroom and food under the bed. The cleaning crew could do a better job vacuuming and cleaning the rooms. The hot tub is way too hot over 103 so it's hard to even get in, and the pool is way too cool for the winter season (open pool), under 80 degrees.
hotel too expensive for what it has to offer in terms of amenities and condition it is in
Nice staff and room. The free parking is nice and the pool is clean kept up. The breakfast is a nice set up and the wine at night is good. Very comfortable place to stay but a little pricey. It's located on a noisy street, so sitting out front for breakfast in loud. I would stay here again.
The room was a good size the only down side was the fact that this was the only room at the hotel the faces a walk and the laundry room.
Didn’t give a perfect score because one day the room was not done, and the tv was kind of frozen, slow, didn’t respond to the remote. Other than that, our stay was smooth and pleasant.
We arrived in the early evening and were greeted with a knowledgeable friendly desk clerk who was also a home grown local. Fresh scones, cookies and a bottle of sparkling wine added to our surprise. Perhaps, it was other places we stayed at on our trip along the state, but the Inn is a standout. The property delightful and restful. The pool and hot tub clean, accessible and enjoyable. The vegetation everywhere added to our relaxation. The room was roomy, clean and the full kitchen was a welcome surprise. Finally, we didn't feel cramped. Parking was easy. We didn't have to pay extra for this or that. We wanted to stay more days, but were on a schedule. Of course, we'll be back.
The room i was given was more like a two bedroom aparment I diffidently would bring the family here next time I am in the Santa Barbara area.
Very quaint and perfectly located! Staff were very friendly!
I loved this hotel. It's my favorite hotel in Santa Barbara. Will stay here again. Nick at the front desk was extremely nice, helpful and attentive to his guests.
