Clean and professional.
Noise from bar across street when stay in even numbered rooms.

A pleasant hotel reasonably priced which provides easy access to the promenade attraction of downtown Santa Barbara.

Great location, comfortable beds.
Room was a little musty.

This is a great hotel if you are utilizing Amtrak to get to Santa Barbara - it's within an easy walking distance and there are also shuttles available. Lots of food and shops also within walking distance - and don't forget the pier and beach!

The hotel and facilities were fabulous. Great location. Unfortunately one of the worst nights of sleep ever. The windows are old. Even when shut, you were able to here every single car that drove by and every conversation on the street as if it was in your own room. I will not likely stay here again.

Wonderful location near State street and the beach with newly renovated rooms.
Parking was not free and the rooms are a little on the small side since it is an older hotel.

This hotel is a little older so the rooms are on the smaller side, but the new renovation and the extra touches really bring out a charm. Also, location is right on point so that you can walk along State Street for dining, entertainment and shopping or down to the beach to relax in the sun. Santa Barbara is not a place to miss a chance to stay at and this little hotel has all the right features and just the right price. read more

Location to state street good but also quiet. Proximity to beach good.
Hotel has no useful staff just college kids. No services offered and phone system did not work.

Ok if you don't need any onsite facilities. Simply a nice room with no staff assistance.

Convenience to many Santa Barbara shopping, dining and beach experiences.
A little claustrophic in the lobby and stair area.

Overall, the hotel was very convenient. It was clean and well kept.The lobby and stairs are a little small and therefore easily congested but overall a great stay.

Centrally located, clean, appeared to be new or newly decorated.
Staff seemed to be somewhat indifferent.

Room was clean, medium sized; everything appeared to be new and in good working order, large flat screen TV. Hotel is clean, well-maintained Spanish style, 1 block from main tourist St. (state St), 10 minute walk to beach and pier. Staff was busy, not overly friendly. Has parking lot and valet parking. Standard hotel-style continental breakfast. I didn't explore much but it appeared that the there was no pool or outside area to speak of. read more
