"The hotel is so lovely, I really enjoy smaller hotels with personality and vintage style, fabric headboards, crown molding, beautiful tile. It is under a bit of construction and our room overlooked the scaffold and parking lot which was a bummer. The staff is very accommodating and thoughtful - they agreed to switch our rooms, and sent me a bottle of wine and chocolates for my birthday! I loved being able to walk out o to the Main Street for shopping and dining. I will stay in this hotel again. "

"Our stay was 5/9 -5/10. We were very disappointed that we were not informed when we booked our room and made our spa appointments, that we would not be allowed on property until noon.

"Fantastic, and quiet stay in Santa Barbara. Easy walking to wharf, State Street, food and just drinking in the natural beauty of the beach all the way down to East Beach. CJ and Ben were great hosts, friendly and knowledgeable. Spend some time chatting with them. The suite was clean and comfortable, my only complaint was the creaky bed springs. I loved hearing the water fountain outside my window at night and smelling the sea air. Lovely and I will be back. "
