The whole decor and layout of the hotel is very welcoming There is a lovely courtyard where drinks are served and there are complimentary drinks from 5pm to 6pm (not Sunday) Absolutely free! The rooms are of a very high standard with balconies The location is excellent being a few minutes from the centre of State St and near the best restaurants The staff were very helpful especially Fabian and Nate on the front desk We went to a Winery for a tasting and Fabian provided us with all the picnic accessories. The pool is small and comfortable to sit around Overall one of our best stays in Santa Barbara in a great boutique hotel

The room was clean and had great amenities. The fireplace was a great addition and made the room more comfortable. It felt secluded and private, but at the same time close to everything. The breakfast was excellent and the staff was really friendly and helped answer any questions we had. We will definitely be staying again for our anniversary.
