"This is an excellent location and within walking distance of many of Santa Barbara's top attractions. Stearns Wharf and State Street are both about a 15-minute walk away, and you'll find plenty of great restaurants, shops, and entertainment nearby. The property is well maintained, with clean, comfortable rooms, as well as a nice pool and spa to relax after a day of exploring. Parking can be limited, but once you arrive, there's really no need to drive. Most of the area's attractions are easily accessible on foot, making it a great place to stay. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this property."

"We had a wonderful stay for our mini-honeymoon! The room is very comfortable with a great location near many restaurants, coffee shops, and places to drink wine. The staff were all friendly and very, very helpful! There is a mild amount of noise being near State street but nothing that diminishes the stay at all. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Santa Barbara."
