This was a small boutique type hotel that was very clean and cared for. The hotel was set up to show guests they are special and that showed with nice additions as daily coffee, tea, snacks and complimentary welcome drinks. Bike and beach rentals. The location is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood half a block from the beach. Many dining options are just a few blocks away. We walked every day and did not need to drive anywhere. The parking is safe, easy and secure. No security issues. We also noticed there was not a lot of noise from other guests. It was a very relaxing stay and a great find. We will definitely stay here again.

We had a room where the entry door was actually outside and at the top of the stairs and across from the elevator. There was a gap at the bottom of the door which let noise into the room.

Charming hotel in SB

Such a charming little hotel in SB! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable! They even had bikes we rented to ride around the city. The hotel is a bike ride away from lots of little shops and restaurants! I would most definitely recommend this hotel and will be booking there again next time I am in SB!

Great hotel in a great location!

Great stay with a clean and modern room. The pool area was nice as well. You could hear people walking and talking and the bathroom in our own room was not soundproof but other than that, it was great! Location was perfect and the staff was very friendly and attentive!

Great location, close to beach, restaurants and staff is excellent. Pool is nice too. Only thing we didn't enjoy was the heavy fragrance of the room that lasted the whole stay. Like an air freshener smell. I would still recommend!!
