Room is very nice and clean. Staffs are wonderful, amenities are amazing. We really enjoy their free wine and cheese for Happy Hour. Breakfast was really good.
Debasish, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One night stay with family. Great location to walk around Santa Barbara or the harbour. Good breakfast selection, very friendly and accommodating staff. It is a bit dated but clean. Would stay again.

Henrik, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel, great location, friendly staff. Beds were comfy (soft but surprisingly comfy), water pressure in shower was great, rooms very clean, and easy parking. Will stay there again!
Julie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is clearly a remodeled motel and the rooms feel a little small. Great breakfast and cute overall. Great location
Melissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Place is clean and well kept. I didn’t expect the junior sweet to be a full bedroom. But it was a full bed not a queen. The bed was not horrible, but it was also not comfortable as it was creaky and not very soft. Walls are very thin. You could hear every noise as well as conversations from other units.
Serece, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Too dirty, too small, food was very bad!
Neda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights mid week - just a quick little getaway. Location was great - right across from the water and right off the freeway. Lots of restaurants etc near by. Staff was super friendly - they even called to let me know that I had left something on the room. They also let us check in early - when we called they said no but when we arrived our room was ready hours early. The bed was super comfortable, the bath tub was big, water was hot, room was clean. Nice amenities in the room - slippers, water bottles, coffee, mini fridge, seating area and even seating on the balcony. We didn’t get up in time for breakfast. Only downside was the pool was not heated but it was beautiful. Lots of parking!
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Visiting my daughter in college- I have stayed in multiple places near here but so far this is the best- for location, breakfast, etc.
Tiffany, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything about the hotel is exceptional except the shower/tub bathroom. A slight redo similar to the bedroom would be fabulous. Regardless, we will stay again for certain.
Renee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location & very walkable to downtown or harbor!
Brooke, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was nice. The beds were very comfortable! However, there was NO HOT WATER when we showered. Otherwise, the room was nice.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super nice place in a great location. Rooms around the pool are quiet too. Highly recommend it.
Steven, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, great location, comfortable beds, wonderful service + friendly staff. Loved the breakfast in the morning and that they have cute offerings like happy hour. Definitely recommend!
Dana, 3-night trip

Gracianna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay and reasonably priced for Santa Barbara. They also served a hardy breakfast.
Kristine, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Waited at the front desk for over an hour for staff to show up to check me in. No one was answering phones or on the walkers. Employee showed up riding his scooter around 1am. Was only staying to sleep 5 hours before an all day fishing trip. Only got 3 hours because of the employee going MIA.
Jonathon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was very friendly and responsive. Room was clean, solid breakfast. The pool was not heated, but it was warm enough to enjoy it anyway.
Sonja, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable and great location

We enjoyed the harbor view room with a balcony. Comfortable and spacious room! Great location to the harbor and warf. We appreciated the permitted parking lot which had an EV charger for our rental car. We would stay here again!
