The room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was spotless. The front desk staff was very helpful, courteous, and polite. The dining room attendants were very helpful as well, tending to everyone's needs immediately. The Inn is conveniently located, away from 'downtown', but close enough to State St -a 10-minute walk. Plus, across the street from the marina/harbor. I didn't get to try the pool, but it looked amazing. Plenty of parking spots. Plenty of breakfast options, and we even got to make ourselves a sandwich for the road. I would recommend this Inn to anybody going to Santa Barbara.

It was not as represented in the pictures. The room was significantly smaller than what we were expecting. Next, the toilet did not work very well. The pool is not heated (information that should be stated, I mean you’re not swimming in February). However, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Construction above our room was loud and shook the walls. At 5:00 am our smoke detector started chirping. I went to the front desk and asked about it. He wasn’t able to resolve it, offered earplugs! 8:30 reported it again. They said they would fix it. Left for several hours and it was still chirping! Finally got it fixed at 11:30.
