Extremely nice front desk. Walkable area and comfortable room.
Loved this place and would absolutely stay here again! Upon arrival, I was given a free upgrade to their King room, which was spacious and comfortable. The room was immaculate and beautifully furnished. AC (central) was excellent and very quiet. Easy walk to the pier and harbor and lots of wonderful restaurants. I couldn’t ask for a better experience!
Lovely room, had a nice balcony we watched the sun set from. Comfortable bed, large thick towels and good water pressure! Close walk to wharf and waterfront restaurants! Definitely would stay again
Love this hotel! It is convenient to the harbor, wharf, and Funk Zone. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Hotel is quiet and has on site parking. This was our third time here and plan on returning next year.
Only stayed one night during a road trip but it was lovely! Spacious room, comfortable bed, great location, and very helpful front desk staff. Would recommend and certainly will stay again if I’m ever back visiting Santa Barbara!
