Aged. Poor finishes. Everything was crooked - floor, doors, etc. The bed was comfortable. Noisey as it's near a freeway. If you go into it thinking an antique experience you will be fine. If you are looking for Montecito elegant. Look elsewhere.

The king room was very small, and the window latch didn’t even lock. The elevator is from 1930, which is fine if you can handle keeping two door doors open and get your luggage in all by yourself. On the plus side, the staff was very good, the place was very clean, it was quiet, I just don’t think they should be renting a walk-in closet as a king room.

This is an older property but well maintained and in an absolutely perfect location. We were able to walk for meals shopping and to the beach easily. The bikes were also great to use for exploring. Staff were gracious and attentive. When we checked out they had already gone to get our car because they recognized us ! The pool is small but well maintained. We had the pool area to ourselves quite a bit but when it fills up it can be a little loud. I highly recommend Jeanine’s for breakfast and the honor bar for cocktails. Both just steps away. Just a truly wonderful stay in a magical area for relaxing and unwinding.

Property was centrally located in Montecito, however, the property rooms are small and dated and the building elevator was broke for five days during our stay. I wouldn’t recommend staying here again as there are other properties in this area that seem more updated and accommodating for our needs.
