We loved the difference compared to a classic hotel, this had a lot of charm, service was top class, and the walk to the center was perfect distance after the lovely breakfast they make. Vicky made you feel very welcome. We will come back for sure!

The hotel and location were very good. After a little hiccup with our allocated room ( problem with hot water out of both taps) and the room looking out onto a wall making it dark and gloomy ( one night would have been ok but three we thought….no) The staff were more than helpful and apologetic and moved us to an upgraded room which was wonderful . Rosemary Ann was particularly helpful and friendly it was lovely to meet her. No breakfast on site but nice restaurant’s within walking distance especially Jeannies.

Great location in the heart of Santa Barbara. Lovely pool area and the heated jacuzzi was really nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The fire pits and lighting on the pretty terraces added ambiance on an evening. A lovely place to sit and have a drink. There isn’t a bar as such, but you can buy drinks in the reception.
