Absolutely excellent location of this beautiful hotel Room, lobby, hallways were impeccable. Right on the main shopping and dinning street in SB. 10 minute walk to the beach. Excellent dinning options. The classic Spanish style building is gorgeous and although they are remodeling the rooms it’s unlikely you will see or hear anything. The place is impeccable. The staff is courteous and professional.

Under construction, homeless bums on the sidewalk, mandatory $30parking , ancient slow elevator, no pool, worst Starbucks in the world is down the block but it has no tables or chairs or bathrooms and stinks. Hotel has zero charm. Certainly not the four stars it claims on line. Shower is ridiculous and mold behind the bathroom faucet.

This is a charming hotel along a pedestrian mall in downtown Santa Barbara. The hotel is currently undergoing some renovations, but they did not detract from the property. There are free beverages in the lobby, high quality personal care products in the rooms, and many fine details in the interior and architecture that reflect this building’s age.
