Very cute hotel with nice amenities. Our king room was super spacious and fit our many bags as we were travelling with our 3 month old! There were a lot of areas around the hotel to lounge so although the hotel was full it never felt overcrowded. We enjoyed the complimentary morning pastries, fruit, and coffee and the evening glass of wine. The location was great, right next to the Santa Barbara public market football and a quick walk to state street. Finally, the staff was so nice and made us feel at home! Would definitely stay here again.

Rooms are small and cold, poor lighting, bouncy/uncomfortable bed, and privacy is a concern. No breakfast available. Grounds were beautiful and front desk attendant was great, but other than that, not much to offer.
