    Surprised in the best way!

    What a charming retreat! The beautifully decorated deluxe king room truly exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect, offering a peaceful vibe just minutes from dining hotspots. Special mention to the friendly staff. Noel and Summer made my experience memorable. Enjoyed the delightful breakfast, especially the granola bowl. I couldn't ask for more!

    cold pool

    The pool temperature left a lot to be desired. it felt more like a cold bath than a relaxing swim, which was disappointing considering the high price. Additionally, noise from the stomper in the room above made it hard to enjoy some peace and quiet during our stay. The elevator's decoration was confusing and somewhat overwhelming, taking away from the overall aesthetic of the hotel.

    complimentary drinks
    welcoming vibe

    I had a great stay in this quietly elegant place. The vibe is warm and welcoming, making it feel like a home away from home. The spacious room was well-appointed, and I loved the complimentary drinks in the lovely courtyard from 5pm to 6pm. The location is perfect, just a quick walk to the center for dining and shopping!

    cozy vibe

    The deluxe king room was super spacious and beautifully styled. The electric fireplace added a cozy vibe, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. They stocked the room with quality Diptyque products, which felt really luxe. Great water pressure in the shower too. Just loved how everything was well-appointed and inviting!

    spacious room
    beautiful sunset
    cold pool

    The experience here was delightful, especially with the spacious and well-appointed room, and the cozy vibes made me feel right at home. I loved soaking in the outdoor pool while enjoying a beautiful sunset—what a treat! Just a heads-up, the pool could've been a bit warmer, but it didn’t ruin my overall experience. 🌟

    lovely breakfast
    well-decorated room
    friendly service
    balcony seating
    dining limitations
    limited accessibility

    Beautiful property in stunning Santa Barbara. The room was well-decorated and spacious. Staff interactions felt warm and personal. I especially appreciated Chandra at the front desk. The afternoon lemonade and tasty cookies were a nice touch. Breakfast offered unique options, and the granola bowl stood out. Our dog was welcomed, making the trip more enjoyable. However, I wish the balcony had comfortable chairs, as we only had one backless stool to sit on. Also, bringing a drink back to our room was difficult due to limited dining options. Still, overall, the experience was enjoyable.

    A Bit of Nostalgia Lost But Still Charming

    We enjoyed our two-night stay in the Standard King Room. The architecture remains lovely, but we missed the familiar warmth of previous staff. Lounge at sunset for best vibes, but beware of noise from above. Explore local dining options for a complete experience.
