    Pros +

    • The staff was the best  - all awesome. The Breakfast [7-10] was OK but unlimited wine and munchies from 3-8 pm was real kicker. Free Bikes available The spanish architecture gives it a warmth.
    • The location was great. A couple of blocks off the beach.
    • Location. Staff friendly and helpful.

    Cons -

    • Wish they had an ocean view. Sometimes you get the gasoline smell from Chevron next door.
    • The price was incredibly high for what amounts to an old motel.
    • Access to room via stairs or around the pool.

    The free bike rentals and location

    I didn’t like the spiders I found in the room or that the bath tub drain didn’t work properly.

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 5-27-2018

    Liked the apartment like setting and outside entrance. Worked well for an active toddler!

    Pool was cold.

    5JohnPosted on: 6-3-2017

    Small, noisy room. Tiny pool with many loud children.

    9JosephPosted on: 10-13-2016

    great amenities kitchen with kitchen-ware,living room,very great hotel with great location.

    10Narayani MPosted on: 8-25-2016

    hotel employees at the front desk made us feel like royalty. Loved the pool and it's outdoor shower.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 5-17-2016

    We were able to check in an hour earlier, which was great! Location is walking distance (about a block) to the beach and close to restaurants. The front desk was very polite and pointed out stuff we might life (ie wine tasting, bike riding,etc)

    10LauraPosted on: 3-9-2015

    Loved this hotel. Great service. Wonderful special touches. We'd definitely stay here again and recommend it.

    We had to leave eventually...that was the only bad part of our stay.

    7SandraPosted on: 2-16-2026

    Great location, walking distance to every thing. Bed was comfortable and we had plenty of amenities. We did not have time to try the pool, but it looked amazing.

    No elevator. Steps weren’t steep but our room was at the top right corner and it was a struggle.

    7RheaPosted on: 2-15-2026

    Safe. Friendly staff. Cute exterior

    A bit small for $$ but usual for SB

    7PaulaPosted on: 2-13-2026

    We had a nice, large room, that included a refrigerator and a stove, with some dishes. The staff is very kind and the breakfast and wine is good. Most of the parking is covered which I think is unusual in Santa Barbara.

    There is no elevator. Most of the rooms require steps. There are very few channels to watch. Fortunately the Olympics were on and we could get that. They do offer DVDs, but we were in Santa Barbara for the film festival and did not want to watch any more movies.

    9RenePosted on: 2-3-2026

    Great location. Room was big,comfortable and had everything you needed. Happy hour with wine and cheese was really good. Short walk to the beach and restaurants.

    Continental breakfast was okay.

    9JohnPosted on: 2-3-2026

    Nice pool, and nice breakfast.

    Wifi in room was too weak to work

    8PeterPosted on: 1-30-2026

    Good happy hour and breakfast. Staff was friendly and helpful. Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the SoCal sunshine. Bed was newer.Free parking!

    Bathroom is dated especially the vanity.

    10The M.Posted on: 1-28-2026

    The location was perfect walking distance to the beach , and the Hotel was beautiful.

    Unfortunately I did not like the bed to firm, for me but my husband loved it.

    10DonnaPosted on: 1-28-2026

    The breakfast served was fantastic! Great selections. They also do happy hour with wine, cheese, and crackers. The pool and hottub were immaculate. The room was clean and housekeeping was very nice. Easy walk down to the main road which offers to pier on one side and the marina on another. Very nice experience!
