I appreciated my stay, just brilliant! Light hotel with patient staff and a generous breakfast. Room was big size and immaculately clean with a luxury bathroom. Plenty of food options next to the venue. Easy check-in, late check-out.

Best staff, fairly clean and quiet little hotel. Brand-new room, excellent breakfast options, extremely comfy beds. Perfect location just off shops and commercial area and the center of Santa Barbara in a local area. I did n't expect to find Cantwell's Market & Deli close by, but I loved it and had a few meals.

The staff were so caring, the breakfast was free of charge! I slept so comfy in the really big bed. The hotel was immaculately clean and the wonderful beach set near the property. Roof top bar was relaxing and moderately priced. The service here was good too.

Wi-Fi was awful, made me a little nervous.

Wonderfully helpful staff & were ready to help. Room was warm enough with smoke detectors for safety measures. Generally everything was incredible, though the bathroom was horrible. My experience at this suitable hotel was just perfect.

Views appeared to be not very good.

A brilliant hotel in a VERY DECENT setting with lots of little extras. Venue was so clean. The best golden beach I've seen before now. Very easy to get from Santa Barbara airport, just 12 miles. Beds were exceptionally comfortable and staff were more than helpful.

We thought that there would be breakfast, but we were wrong.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-nights stay. The hotel was deluxe, air-conditioned room. Take a look at Santa Barbara Downtown district, its worth it. The host is friendly.

Unfortunately, the street was noisy.
