I’ve been here twice now, three different rooms after switching last time. my favorite place to stay in sb. It’s a cozy setting once you’re ensconced in the place. Boutique hotel I’d say.Rooms are clean and stylish in a homey sort way not the soulless decor that is almost always the case elsewhere though Santa Barbara unusually tasteful in that department. Definitely a great value when you consider the perfect location right on the waterfront with a short walk to restaurants including a very nice Italian place right next door. Same beach you could easily pay 4x more for those big impersonal resorts at the other end not to mention the endless additional fleecing you get at those places. I can afford to stay at those places but choose not to. A few things to note. On the upper level the rooms facing the water don’t have lounge chairs outside the others do. One of the expensive room options on the second floor(with balcony) is facing the busy street and some might not like the traffic noise. It was a terrific room though. Also one probably very cheap one I staying in last time is for a reason -right beside the driveway as you pull in and you’d not want to leave your curtains open. Room was a nice as the others though. One thing I wish more hotels had including this one would be a comfy lounge chair in the room. The premium rooms did however. Just an honest very nice place great value.
