The hotel seemed recently updated. The room was very clean and despite being on State St. the evenings were very quiet (although we were on the 4th floor). We didn’t use the fitness room, but it looked nice. The valet drivers were very friendly and efficient. The hotel is in a great area; we were able to easily walk to the Funk Zone. Overall, a really nice visit. I would be happy to stay here again the next time we’re in Santa Barbara.

Charming little hotel in the perfect area of Santa Barbara to be able to walk to shops and restaurants. The room was a bit dusty but otherwise well-maintained. As other reviews mentioned, it was noisy at night so bring earplugs. Lovely, historic place though, and we will be back.

Not sure you can do much better. The valet parking team is great, super easy. Rooms are small but cute and very comfortable. The decor and entire vibe here is relaxed and enjoyable. You’re near enough to everything, shops, food, the beach…

We stayed here for our wedding & the staff were so helpful. Right when I arrived the staff put my florals in the fridge & on my wedding day they brought it up to the room! I appreciate all of there help & how welcoming they were. The elevator is slow yes, but it’s vintage. The espresso martini is DELISH. We will be back!
