Loved this neighborhood gem. The property ambiance was casual yet very inviting. There were small seating areas in various locations. Our group spent hours chatting in the living room-like lobby and patio areas. My husband and I stayed in one of the quaint cottages and loved it. This property is perfect for larger groups. We would stay here again in a second.

It’s a cute hotel from outside but rooms are terrible. My room was smelling so bad. Mist probably, there was mold everywhere. The furniture is old and smelly too. Bathroom is terrible too. The quality/price ratio is very poor.

Nice hotel, my favorite for the money in Santa Barbara. It was comfortable, clean, and cozy with great outdoor garden to lounge in. Dry nice staff. My only complaints would be that there were no plugs beside the bed on my side of the bed for my CPAP machine, and the WiFi was so weak in our room that it was essentially non-functional at all. In 2025 you would think a strong WiFi signal in every room would be a given, but not so. If we wanted a strong WiFi for internet we had to go to the lobby.
