I grew up in Santa Barbara, so I know where everything is. This hotel has an amazing location where you can walk to downtown or the beaches. The bed and pillows were comfortable. It’s just a little bit outdated. The pool and Jacuzzi were nice. The pool was heated. I would stay here again.

This is older property but very clean and we liked the fact there were no carpets, the bedding and bed very clean and comfortable. Very important for us is was the "Location". Some of the simple added personal items to the room added a special touch. Thanks for a great visit!

The location and pool/spa were great. Our room was horrible. Besides being outdated, the shower water was impossible to regulate and our coffee maker didn't work. We had to call twice to get an extra blanket after 40 minutes.

An upmarket motel

We were only here for one night as part of a road trip. We were initially looking to extend our stay by a further two nights as when we arrived the service (valet and reception staff), facilities (gym and pool area) and location on the beach front were ideal. When I asked about extending, I was informed it’d be €735 dollars despite being able to get it for c$500 through hotels.com - odd! As we were there for only one night, decided getting a bigger place as the room was quite snug and I could only feel that we were out in the worst possible room. There was an ice machine outside our door which may as well have been in our room it was so loud. Then the cleaners and staff cupboard was directly next to our room so as they started their shift, we were awake! Not the one, sadly!

Great location! Staff were very helpful and friendly. Nice decor and the room was clean. Loved that we can borrow bicycles for NO extra fee. Coffee, tv, & fridge were great. Despite all this, our room was small and the shower door seemed to be missing one side; still had a motel feel. The room was not worth the price, but the beach and wharf are right across the street. Valet parking was mandatory.

Know before you go!

We were staying there for a wedding for three nights. The first night we did not have hot water, which took maintenance two hours to respond and we missed our dinner. The road noise that night was unbelievably loud, the next day we asked to be moved. They didn’t have anything to move us to. We checked out and they charged us for our one night stay. They did not offer any type of refund or credit.
