The hotel is beautiful and in the perfect location! The only reason I didn’t give 5 starts is the room is nothing special and I had a deluxe room but our balcony was closed in and facing state street which was fantastic. This will be our new go to hotel for Sant Barbara. Great staff as well

6/10 Good

Room was pretty dated, not much for amenities, and they didn’t even provide water for your coffee machine. They made you pay $7 for a water bottle for your In room coffee. For over $300 a night, I would definitely expect more.

8/10 Very good

Location is awesome. Rooms was clean and spacious. Only reason why I am not giving it a 5 star is because the bed was so firm and it made sleeping very uncomfortable for us. It needed a mattress topper IMO. Beds are a preference so I don’t blame the Hotel for that, just wanting to warn you…beds are HARD. Everything else makes for a good stay.
