6/10

It is a very good location, but the hotel definitely needs some upgrading. It is old and it needs new tubs/showers, carpet and the front door is not a tight seal. You can see daylight all around it. Also, there is no place to plug in your charging cord, so you need to bring your own cube for the outlet. But, the bed was comfortable and the restaurant was excellent. The grounds are pretty with a lot of lemon trees and the jasmine scent all around was nice.

This hotel is fantastic all the way around. Their restaurant on premises is fabulous. If there is one feedback for improvement, albeit a minor one, it is to update the shower stall to prevent water flowing over. The shower curtains are not entirely fit for purpose.

I stayed here once before, and it was fnice we had a decent room but this time this room and the amenities are just not up to par. While the check in was good and it was clean I wont stay again. Needs improvement - No paper coffee cups - No seating other than a desk chair - Holes all over in the drape to the patio - TV only had apps with no instructions on how to view local TV figured it out but took a bit of effort - If you moved on the bed it squeaked - No microwave (though it was not advertised to have one) - Patio table was in its last leg wobbly and unstable -Overall dated, room was like a step up from a motel 6 Nice -courtyard was pretty -nice to have a patio -Staff was nice -pool -Easy to get to

We asked for the two room family suite - a king in one room and 2 queens in the connecting room. The rooms were very spacious and had a large shared balcony overlooking the central court an pool area. The pool was olympic size, great for laps at the end of the day. Located on upper State Street, it was very close to the Santa Barbara Mission. The downtown restaurants and shops would be a bit far for most to walk, although I enjoyed the two mile stroll through the lovely neighborhoods.

Not very clean.Very outdated. Too expensive. More like a cheap motel. Water in shower didn’t go down and dirt came back into bathtub. Disgusting

The staff here are amazing! When I had to cut my stay short for an emergency they were gracious about it and accommodated me by refunding the remainder of my stay.

We were looking for a hotel that was both family-friendly and conveniently located near amenities, and this place did not disappoint! The staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable. When we needed to switch rooms, the process was seamless and hassle-free. The highlight of our trip was definitely the pool—it was a fantastic experience for the whole family! We’re already looking forward to many more stays in the future.

I have stayed here several times since my daughter goes to UCSB. I love staying here! The garden setting outside your room, makes this place ideal. Every room comes with a patio or balcony and it nice to sit there and enjoy the scenery. There is also a resturant and bar that you can enjoy the garden setting as well. The rooms are a bit older and run down, but looks like they are slowly working on improvements. The rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. I continue to enjoy staying there. Sort of central to everything in Santa Barbara.
