What an amazing stay. When I come back to Santa Barbara I will be staying here. A 5 min walk to coastline, a big hot tub, and free fresh cookies. The staff, such as Ben, remembered us and it made us feel so welcome and tended to. The bed was very comfortable and the property was in a quiet area but not far From State Street or the Funk Zone
