Loved the location and the friendly helpful team. The rooms are so clean and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful. Slept so well throughout. We liked this place so much we decided to stay a second night. This time we stayed in a fabulous room with a spa bath!! This was a lovely touch and a real treat after exploring Santa Barbra. If you’re staying in Santa Barbara you need to stay here it’s a little slice of heaven!!

We liked the fact that the room was so big yet the price was so cheap! We also liked the free breakfast. We liked having restaurants nearby in case we were hungry. We also liked that it was near our primary destination, the University.

Good location, felt safe. Rooms are older but decent. Front desk staff were friendly. Price was a little too high for this hotel.

Great hotel in a lovely location. Close to Santa Cruz, but far enough away for it to be a peaceful break. I liked the bar area, it was very relaxing by the fire on an evening.

The place was absolutely unreal and we got upgraded to a bigger and nicer room for free. Excellent location too and we had hot drinks and water available for us free of charge as well which was a lovely bonus!

The interior was lovely (although undergoing renovation so didn’t see the full effect) Also loved the pool area and outside car service. Very relaxing after a busy day! Ps we left our travel plugs and chargers. Went back a few days later - nothing too much trouble. Reception managed to locate and return them to us! 😊
