This is the perfect spot for a slow Santa Barbara weekend. It’s perfectly located to the beach, state street, and multiple restaurants! Their breakfast is good and they offer gluten free bread! Shout out to Jorge who gave us a thorough review of restaurant our first night. The rooms are spacious, the only downside is the small shower stalls, but the rest of the property more than makes up for it!

This is an older renovated hotel and they have done a great job..the room was very nice..the pool was like older pools were, with a real deep end..at first it seem small..but the way it is shaped it is fine..I loved it. Small lobby , yet fits the atmosphere of the place & they set up a breakfast there with cereal & pastries..and yogurt with fresh fruit. I will definitely stay there again.
