The staff was very nice and accommodating, but this hotel is insanely overpriced. The room was a shoebox, basically a foot of floorspace around the bed, with fancy decor to mask the fact that its a glorified Motel 6. They have NO parking, we had to park in public parking 3 blocks away and walk with all of our luggage. Its a quant hotel, but defintely won't go back. At least I got to experience what ita like to take a shower in a coffin

Great place. The staff was very friendly. One thing to know is that the parking is valet only and at the time of this review is $38 per night. Great location. The coffee they have is really good. I'd stay there again, especially if I don't have a car.

Eric

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The lobby gives a great first impression — clean, modern, and welcoming. The staff were friendly and helpful too. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The rooms are tiny — barely enough space to open a suitcase, and nowhere to store luggage. The bathroom is just as cramped, and the baseboards and door to the “garden patio” (which you access through the bathroom) were dirty and even moldy. The “garden view” is misleading. It’s not a garden at all — just a small enclosed patio surrounded by walls and neighboring rooms. No view, no privacy. Valet parking is $38 per night, which feels steep, especially since I was handed my keys to pull my own car out of the space. The location is great with lots of dining and shopping nearby, but overall, the room’s size, cleanliness, and lack of value really bring this place down. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Love this hotel it’s all about the location! This is our second time staying here and we loved it again. We originally chose it because it is dog friendly and we are so happy we did. Just a heads up the bathroom is tiny the shower is tiny and the room is small. There is no room to put you suitcase anywhere. But the hotel is beautiful well maintained and has the best location. We will always stay here when we come to Santa Barbara.
