The room we are in is much too loud from traffic outside, voices in the hallway, and noise from other guests staying above us. There are stains on the curtains and lampshades. We will never stay here again.

The property is in desperate need of renovation. The bathrooms are outdated and in poor condition and the bedroom furniture was falling apart. The restaurant staff were inexperienced and badly trained. Cold coffee at breakfast is not a good excuse!

Expedia conformation number did not match hotel. Room was small and needed painting. Nothing in the room, no water, coffee.... at $525 a night it should have been nicer.

We stayed in one of the suites and the room was lovely but a little bare…no water left in the room, most of the shelves were completely empty. It left a beautiful room feeling cold. Water and toiletries would be really helpful, especially at that price point.

You can always count on the Montacito Inn
Every time we go to the Montacito Inn , we have a wonderful stay. The staff is amazing. They always bend backwards for us. We had to check out early due to the storm and one person stood out even more than the rest. His name is KOBI he is one of the bartenders he went out of his way to make sure we were assisted on the emergency check out again everyone is wonderful

We had a bad experience here. We had a rat in our car when we got the car back from valet after checking out from the hotel. We drove with the rat in the car for about 15 mins; we almost get into an accident and I almost get a heart attack. The rat peed and pooped all over the car, and damaged our belongings in the car including jackets, shoes, etc. that we had in the back seat. I have pictures and videos including video of the rat running out of the car. The hotel is refusing to compensate us for anything not even a detailed car wash. The bathroom is tiny. If you are coming with kids or need more space, this is not the hotel you want to book.

Our room was very dated and tired. The dresser was old and the drawers barely opened. The standing lamp was rickety. The bathroom was tiny and the shower water was like needles. Our room was not cleaned and when we asked for service we were told we had to request cleaning. We were not told this at check in. The dark closet had no light. The property is old but charming. The staff was nice.
