This is a great place to stay in Santa Barbara. Mickey greeted us when we arrived with all possible information we may need. We appreciated his enthusiasm and helpfulness. The bed was very comfortable and breakfast included a nice variety of pastries and breads, fruit, oatmeal and egg bites. Unfortunately we didn’t get to use the pool this time.

Initial check-in experience made me question my choice as the person at the reception made me quite uncomfortable. However the room itself and the charm of the hotel compensated the initial hesitation. Breakfast - small selection but tasty. Clean and spacious room. Added bonus - free bike rental. I would definitely come back.
