"It is in a perfect walkable location in SB. We picked it because they allow dogs and the room is actually perfect to have dogs! Little kitchen, which makes feeding them easy. Also spacious! We brought a Great Dane and there was plenty of room :) Bed was pretty comfy and room has AC and a nice bathroom. The only thing I didn’t love was the noise. You can hear the people above you, but a sound machine helps! Honestly despite the noise, would stay here again ;)"

"This hotel was a perfect location to explore Santa Barbara. It was quiet and clean, beds were comfortable and parking was easy. Our only issue was that we had no WiFi the entire time (3 nights) we were there and would’ve stayed elsewhere had we known beforehand. There was some sort of outage happening which is fine, they probably just should say so in case customers really need WiFi (for work etc). Otherwise really great! Personally I’d stay there again but would just call first to check on WiFi."

"loved the balcony looking over the street to the beach. Could sit out there more. room was clean and the price was great for the location. would stay again for sure. issue was checking in got there at 1:30pm and office was closed with a number to call. called number and mail box was full. I think a gentleman they hired told us to go to office of hotel in back. got there no one was around went back to other office and what i thought was a maintenance man gave us a number to call the boss. call him and he told us no one was to be at the desk until two. Question: why didn't they have a note on the door of the hotel we were staying at to tell us 2pm and where to go to get checked in. Went to lunch and all was fine after we got back and understood how and when to check in."
