10/10 Excellent

Wonderful one night stay in Santa Barbara, as a stopover en route from San Francisco to LA. Beautiful room (2A), very spacious, spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Park right at the door to your room! Very warm welcome from the staff. Two minutes walk to the beach, 15 minute walk to State Street where most of the restaurants and bars are.
