Checkin was smooth. Hotel staff was friendly. Close proximity to Santa Barbara Market and restaurants. Would have been nice to have coffee in room.

People talking outside of our window. No ice machine no vending machine no smoking area. The blinds were broken. $250.00 I guess is cheap for Santa Barbara, but it wasn’t even worth that.

I really enjoyed my stay. The bed was more comfortable than my bed at home. I was warm and cozy and it was quiet and everyone was really nice.

West coast trip

Pros: Easy location, laid back, free parking, small.
No coffee maker. Office opens too late. Quiet at night. Walkable to down town.

So Happy with our stay at the Presidio

The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The perfect place on State St. You could walk to all the shops and restaurants, but was at the upper end where you could enjoy a cup of coffee on the hotel deck with some peace and quiet.
