Weekend getaway
Room is tiny tiny and said they were pet friendly. Unfortunately the room could not accommodate 2 people with 2 medium size dogs and luggage. One of our bath towels was stained with blood. The bathroom setup is tight. Had to go in the middle of night but the door is frosted glass so the light shone into room. Was not very private. Excellent toiletries though. The lobby was nice. Restaurant was good for breakfast. They had a dj playing music in the lobby Saturday evening. There was no where to take your dogs to the bathroom. So we had to walk them a ways to an area by the train which was a pain. We would not stay here again. If you’re alone it’s perfect. Near downtown and everything is in walking distance. We did have a small patio which was nice to have since it lacked space inside but it was hot and humid when we went so couldn’t exactly leave door open during the day but in evenings it was great.

You get to have a personalized attention on the small details-much nicer than big hotels. Excellent location-Short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Very clean and the overall environment of the hotel is relaxing. Many areas to chill, play or work in doors and outdoors. The rooms are very small tho, so it is not convenient for big families with lots of luggage.

A lovely choice staying downtown Santa Barbara
Happy with our stay! We got the room with two full beds. They were so comfy with excellent pillows. Bathroom was small but with good use of space and bathroom amenities. Excellent location close to the funk zone and the beach. Easy and friendly check in. Clean rooms and grounds. I like that the provide a filtered water station with glass carafe in the room to use through out your stay. A nice coffee/juice/tea station at the lobby in the am and pm. A small self serve food and drink area for drinks and snacks, including beer and wine. Loved that our room had a little outdoore patio seating and table. We enjoyed chatting having drinks and meals out there! Would recommend staying here.

Location is great. Room was small. Bathroom did not have a real door and neither did the shower so the floor was puddly through our entire stay. The wet floor had a pipe and mold smell. Location is next to a train stop so there are moments when it’s loud. All that being said I might go back but fingers crossed on a bigger room and shower.

Absolutely loved this stay! Came to Santa Barbara for work and needed to be somewhere centrally located where I could access the train, this checked all those boxes. Not only is the hotel very quaint and had lots of fun hangout spots on the property to find, but it was within walking distance to tons of restaurants and the pier. Staff was super friendly and welcoming, had tips and advice for things to do. Great spot for an overnight or weekend getaway, highly recommend!
