Beautiful spot with a nice large queen room. Wine and cheese offered upon arrival. Room was very specious and clean and the toiletries were high quality. Breakfast was a great selection and just a really nice hotel.

The room was clean but smelled and felt suffocating. Hair dryer did not work. We had to claim our free wine bottle several times and only got it in the morning when we checked out.

Everything was great.
Unfortunately we forgot our bottle of sparkling drink. Didn't get to open it.
Everyone was friendly and great.

We arrived finding our room had been upgraded! The room was spotless. The beds were very comfortable. One evening, I slept 12 hours. Very nice location. Staff were wonderful.

Lovely hotel. Decor could do with updating and modernising. Loved that breakfast was included with our stay. Lovely touches that laundry facilities are available. Cheese and wine afternoons and the freshly baked cookies everyday was awesome. Lovely staff and always ready to help. Plus you could borrow bikes and helmets and go to a cycle round even better. Thank you for the lovely stay. We'll be back

Service was amazing, everything was ready for me to aign upon my arrival. The room was way more than I expected. Really comfortable beds, full bath, dining area, and full kitchen with plates, pots, and pans. It was very quiet and I will definitely be staying there again!

Was not happy, said our room was cleaned however sheets were dirty, housekeeping had an attitude and front office person passed blame on another front desk. I have stayed weekly at their sister hotels, had great service, here was just thrown together.

We just stayed there Feb 28 to Mar 5. The staff, especially Frank and William could not have been more helpful. The morning breakfast and afternoon wine and cheese was great. We had a deluxe queen and the kitchen was most useful. Very quiet at night, and we could walk to the Pier in 15-20 minutes, and I am a slow walker :) We took the trolley uptown. I had left some medicines in the bath, they found them, called me and are mailing to my home! My only complaint was drawer storage could be better. My wife packed for 5 days, 10 different outfits and it was a tad difficult putting stuff away.

This hotel is nice and cozy place. The best part of it is it's location. It very close to the harbor. You can rent some bikes and ride to the beach. It is also very close to Santa Barbara's downtown area. The breakfast is the same and standard nothing new (bagels, croissants, eggs etc.) However, one major drawback i felt was that the breakfast area was very small. If a few families all of them arrive at the same time we have problem especially when it is cold outside (there is no heater in the open area). During summer this should not be an issue. But will visit again and I recommend it.

We spent 5 days here with our daughter. Rooms are clean and nice, the pool area and garden always in perfect conditions. The hotel offers complimentary food almost throughout the day. Staff was very helpful in providing information, accommodating request and entertaining our daughter. Definitely recommend.
