This hotel was very charming. The common area in front was so lovely. Great outdoor place to sit have a cup of coffee, read a book or take in the wonderful Santa Barbara weather! The room was decent and bathroom was very clean. The hotel included continental breakfast and happy hour every day. They were both very good. We enjoyed our stay there.

The staff is the best part of this property! They are helpful and kind but the property itself is not an Inn, more like a motel. The furnishings are very dated and the area around the property a little dodgy.

Good location to walk to the shoreline and other attractions. Staff were all very customer focused and helpful and the room for an inn was clean, large, quiet and very acceptable. The breakfast choice is not wide, but of a good quality. They have a happy hour providing wine and cheese, which is a nice gesture. Sufficient parking makes trips out to visit attractions easy.
