"Charming and well appointed boutique hotel in down town Santa Barbara! Two story property with pool and great parking on site. Big room and very comfortable bed. Very quiet and beautiful grounds and landscaping. They serve wine and appetizers in the evening and guests have picnic style happy hour in the courtyard area. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We walked to the marina in 10 minutes and ate at Brophy Bros…it was great food with great atmosphere and views. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. Exceptional customer service! We will definitely stay again 100%!!"
