All of it! This is the best hotel I had in this 3w trip with California, better than the Marriott ones which cost almost twice as much. The bathroom was clean, checkin process was flawless. Bed was super comfy, AC was great and quiet. Plenty of handy amenities.

I loved this place. The location was very walkable, just next to the beach and Santa Barbara old town. The room was big and extraordinarily clean. The beds were comfortable. Also, the option of free parking is very handy as street parking can be expensive around. Breakfast was good... I will definitely stay here if I visit Santa Barbara again.

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.

The place is truly magical and exudes authenticity! Nestled in isolation, the ranch offers a serene and peaceful retreat. The staff welcomed us warmly, making our stay even more delightful. I highly recommend this destination for anyone looking to relax, disconnect from the fast-paced world, and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature, surrounded by horses in a stunning environment.

I loved the location, as well as the easy check in process. Inside our room was a welcome letter, which was a great touch. I especially appreciated that the welcome letter had a list of things to do, especially local happy hour options! I did not have any local restaurants in mind when I arrived, but we quickly found out that there were two happy hour restaurants within walking distance.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

This hotel is fabulous and in a great location to explore Santa Barbara. We had a wonderful room overlooking the beach, pier and harbour with private balcony with a beautiful sunrise every morning. The breakfast and cheese and wine afternoon is great and plenty full. Also there is a hot drinks station open 24/7. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The heated pool and jacuzzi are great to for a relax after a sight seeing day. I would highly recommend staying at the hotel when in Santa Barbara. Thank you and we will be back

A really great location - only a few steps away from Santa Barbara Pier. Great rooms - although we had to check that our kid got the sofa bed as booked. Was done within 5 minutes. Pool area was superb and well attended. One of the best complementary breakfasts we had on the whole trip What a pitty we only had 1 night for staying there planned in our round trip
