Nice stay
Stay was good, the only limitation was not having even a Microwave oven. So getting warm water or simple heating of food especially given Winter was a limitation. But for that, other aspects wee good!

Upgrade from standard room!
Property was very nice, clean and welcoming. Room was just a bit off. Two very uncomfortable chairs to sit on. Balcony overlooked a side street with houses. Almost feel like the room didn’t need to have a balcony as why would you want to sit out there. we went for a basic standard room as we were only there one night but if we were staying longer I would have been very disappointed. Great restaurant on property, highly recommend.

Excellent stay
This hotel was amazing. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Everything was so clean even the elevator I noticed the staff cleaning it. It exceeded our expectations and if we stay in Santa Barbara again we will definitely be staying here.

Wonderful room setup
This 2-night stay was wonderful. We loved the comfort of the bed and the great size of the bathroom. The restaurant was really good as well. The location was a bit far to walk to State Street but just a quick 8-10 min Uber ride away.
