Nice staff
I love historical buildings and this one is well kept. Beautiful garden area, wine hour and a true Continental breakfast. We were able to walk downtown and to dinner. Will stay again.

Historical, old but well preserved and maintained. Very clean, upscale amenities in the room. Safe area. Convenient parking. Short walk to historical old town, markets and restaurants. The surrounding gardens are peaceful. I would come back again.

Charming hotel downtown
Very charming hotel with private bungalow rooms and absolutely beautiful grounds. Part of "charming" is that it is a little older, so though it's well kept up generally, do expect some of the things that come with age like thinner walls and slightly older bathrooms. Perfect location just a block and a half from State Street and the historic Arlington theater!

10/10 Exceptional

Very cute hotel with nice amenities. Our king room was super spacious and fit our many bags as we were travelling with our 3 month old! There were a lot of areas around the hotel to lounge so although the hotel was full it never felt overcrowded. We enjoyed the complimentary morning pastries, fruit, and coffee and the evening glass of wine. The location was great, right next to the Santa Barbara public market football and a quick walk to state street. Finally, the staff was so nice and made us feel at home! Would definitely stay here again.

4/10 Fair

Our room was nice and as advertised. The second night of our stay there was no parking available on the premises and we had to figure out parking away from the property. When we got to our room, we found out we did not receive any housekeeping services. The room was damp from our towels from earlier that morning. Will not return to this property.

Parking is down hidden alleyway street so if driving at night go slow and look carefully! Overall, a wonderful experience and beautiful little place around the heart of downtown!
