Loved the property and location. Super charming and clean. The bathroom was very small and hard to navigate with 3 adults, but we did it. We had a great private patio that we could sit in and all the staff was very kind and friendly.

This is our go to hotel whenever we stay in Santa Barbara. It is always very clean. The common areas are super cute.The beds are comfortable. The rooms are small, but we don't need a lot because we never spend much time in the room. It is conveniently located a short walk from the train station and our favorite restaurant in SB.

The location is 10/10. Very clean, staff was great. We brought our dog and they gave him a goody bag. The reason I selected 4 stars is because the rooms/bathroom are extremely small. Not that big of a deal because we weren’t in the room a lot but it would’ve been nice to have more space to stretch out. The lobby is cozy so we hung out there sometimes they had snacks and drinks. Tons of restaurants, shopping and beach access. Great stay!

The hotel itself is adorable. The rooms are minuscule. The biggest issues is that between music and trains it doesn’t get quiet till around 11 and starts again around 6, and this was a random Tues/wed night. If that doesn't bother you. Staff was great and there are lots of nice areas outside of rooms.

Worth every penny!

This cute and perfectly located hotel offers all the touches that make it unique and comfortable. We used their bikes and rode around the town, down to the street fair and back. Coffee and tea in the morning was also available and perfect touch. Unfortunately,, we left a black bag in the checkin area before we started our long drive home. This hotel went above and beyond notifying us and shipping the bag back home. The staff were incredible and I can’t thank them enough. Thank you for making our short stay more enjoyable and proving hotels do care for their guests.

A nice, clean hotel with a charming beachy vibe. The room was small but very practical, featuring a desk, chair, coffee station, and a comfortable king bed. The bathroom was clean and well-designed. What stood out the most was the incredibly friendly staff—including the valet—and the hotel’s dog-friendly atmosphere. My dog had a fantastic stay too!
