Definitely a great place to stay! This is more of a boutique style hotel so if you are looking for more of a modern type stay like a Hilton or something this wouldn’t be it but it is a very nice stay nonetheless! Everything is pretty walkable distance and the area is very safe and felt comfortable in our room

Great location near the Marina and the beach. Easy walk to State Street with all of the action, and easy walk to the beach. Tucked into a neighborhood, has a bed and breakfast feel. We went on Saturday 7/12 and the young man at the front desk was VERY hospitable and welcoming. Gave great restaurant recommendations which were spot on. There was free onsite parking which we were able to use. Our room had a balcony and fireplace. Everything was perfect.

The property is in a great location; beach, marina, wharf, restaurants all walkable. We had a car, so all the town was very easy to reach. Nice breakfast daily, and 24 hour coffee/latte/cocoa machine in the lobby. Would definitely return and recommend to others. Also, the 1.5 hour trolley tour from the visitor center was well worth the price.

Not a place for a family of 5

We booked for 5 but we're only provided sleeping arrangements for 4. We paid $90 additional for the 5th but did not have a rollaway bed. We left a day early as the accommodations were not as advertised and the sleeping conditions were not acceptable.

I recently stayed at this wonderful hotel by the beach in Santa Barbara, and it exceeded all my expectations. The location couldn’t be better—just steps from the sand with beautiful ocean views and easy access to local shops and restaurants. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Santa Barbara. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway or a family vacation, it’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach!
