Comfortable Santa Barbara Vibe

Quiet, comfortable, with an old Santa Barbara vibe. Very nice spread for breakfast and walkable to the center district-if you like to walk. I’ll stay again.
Bill, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is in a really good location. Easy to walk to State Street where there are a lot of shops. But also to attractions, museums, historical sites, and the wharf area. Our room was cozy and quiet. The grounds are nicely kept. The only negative is a small one. There are not enough electric outlets for charging our electronics at the same time.
