10/10 Excellent

Great property, would definitely stay again on a short trip. Rooms are on the smaller side, but it’s a small boutique hotel the staff and the lobby make up for the size of the room.

Parking is a pain but valet guys were super cool. Good amenities but rooms are a bit small
Ian, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This property appears newly renovated, and has a European flair. It is very small, and the rooms are small too, but well put together, and maximizes space. You are centrally located to everything, and two blocks from Stearns Wharf/beach
Laurie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great staff and easy check in/check out process. A bit of construction going on so can be a little more noisy after 9a but didn’t phase me since that’s normal business hours. Wonderful stay and the front area is cozy + this hotel is close to so much!

Right in the centre of Santa Barbara the location is amazing. The room was quite small and when we arrived valet parking was full so we had to pay $55 dollars in public parking across the street. Otherwise a great place
Jane, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Location is perfect for walking to all restaurants, bars, beach and pier. Located by train station too so no car needed on trip. Room was quit despite being on State St. room was small but ok for 2 adults and a short stay
HEATHER, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Pros: staff and facilities, including bed were excellent. Agree with other reviewers regarding the shower/water situation; other than that rooms are small though neat and clean. Cons: Room next to us had a dog that was barking at night for over an hour; finally complained to the front desk and it got taken care of. Staff was very responsive in helping to take care of it, which was a plus. We have stayed at other pet friendly hotels and this had not been an issue. Just warning if one is sensitive to noise, you may want to bring good ear plugs.
Geera, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Had an incident the manager at the time was rude and dismissive.

10/10 Excellent

A really lovely boutique hotel with modern rooms and a light airy feel to the hotel. We travelled by Amtrak so it was super convenient. We had a problem with our room the first night but it was sorted really quickly and the staff were genuinely keen to ensure we were happy. On the Friday night guests were invited to meet in the lounge area for wine and nibbles and to mingle with other guests. It was really nice and we chatted to some fellow travellers! The rooms are very small but comfortable and well equipped.
Gaynor, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Enjoyed my stay. The staff was very nice and warm. It was a very quiet area and I really liked it
Theoris, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location

The public areas were spacious and nicely furnished. The restaurant was delicious and colorful. The Inn was in a great location. The staff was delightful. My only disappointment was that the bathroom shower was so tiny that the floor flooded after each shower.
Dennis, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Upscale boutique hotel in the heart of Santa Barbara. It’s a great place to stay but avoid the rooms facing State Street. The room was very nice and clean but noisy and bright. However when I asked to be moved they were more than accommodating.
angelica, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

I actually really liked the small rooms. They had a certain charm — cozy, unpretentious, almost endearing in their simplicity. That said, I do wish they were better soundproofed. You’ll hear everything that goes on in the hallway, and I mean everything. The sweet, tender moments between families. The hushed giggles of lovers sharing a private joke. The guttural symphony of someone purging their late-night choices into a wastebasket. It’s all part of the ambiance, I suppose — an unexpectedly intimate glimpse into the lives of strangers. If you're a light sleeper or value privacy, pack earplugs. But if you don't mind a little audio theatre with your stay, there's something oddly human about it.
KEITH, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is centrally located in downtown and there are many delicious places to eat nearby. We enjoyed the beach just half a mile away and we also walked up State Street with many wonderful vendors.
Monica, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

You pay for the location of this property - a block from the beach and easy walking to restaurants and coffee shops. Make note there is no elevator so you have to lug your suitcase and bags up 2 flights of stairs. Rooms are tiny like NYC tiny and walls are paper thin. I was up for 3 hours having to listen to the people next door.
DeForest, 1-night trip
