It was clean, great location, free parking and the beds were so comfortable! The hotel opened 3 years ago and you can tell it’s a fairly new hotel. Everything looked brand new and clean.

This my favorite stop in Santa Barbara. I break up the drive to Orange County with a stop here. It is always clean with large fluffy white towels, coffee, pastries and banana bread for breakfast. The location is great within walking distance to great restaurants so you don’t have to get in the car again. It is good for pets. There are nice walking parks, strictly on leash, near by. Plus easy access to the freeway. I enjoyed the Black Friday special on the Monday after Thanksgiving! It was a great deal!

The staff were amazingly helpful. Free bike hire, biking is perfect and safe in the area. They also had a happy hour 4.30 to 6.30 where you can have afternoon tea/coffee or wine with light things to eat too... so generous!! Pool was gorgeous and rooms were very very very nice and spacious.
