The hotel is in a great location. Short walk to both the marina area and the wharf. The beach is just across the road. Parking and breakfast were both included and be aware that the car park is quite tight if you’re coming in a larger car. Our room itself however was a disappointment. The shower was in need of a repair with the handles coming away from the wall. You also needed to twist the taps REALLY tight to switch it off otherwise the leaks out the shower head were ridiculous. There was also a lot of mouldy spots on the walls in the shower room. We only stayed the one night so didn’t ask to change rooms. Quick side note. Santa Barbara is a beautiful place and a wander down the beach area at sunset is a must!!

Overall great stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. My gripes were that the walls were thin allowing a lot of noise, mediocre breakfast, and the bathrooms were a little moldy smelling. However i really enjoyed my stay and keeping the ac and bathroom fan going kept it good. I would stay again for the great location, competive price, parking, breakfast, and happy hour.

My mattress was horrific! The foot was higher than the head and it was lumpy and quite painful to sleep on. Plus, couple next door was fighting all night. Got different room next night and was much better.
