The hotel is in an awesome spot! You can walk everywhere and it’s in the heart of the Santa Barbara area. We loved the lobby and spent time there relaxing. Our only issue was that the room was never cleaned and we had to ask for towels and the trash to be emptied.

I loved waking up early and riding one of the complementary bikes along the beach. The common areas are cozy and comfy. The art displays and interior design gave off the chillest vibe.

Arrived and there was no working AC in the room. No fridge in the room. Staff was friendly though and provides a fan. The next morning there was no hot water in several of the rooms. The floors are all hard in the hallway and the rooms so sound bounces around easily and a door closing easily wakes you up in the middle of the night. The location is good except for a train intersection less than 50ft from the building so if you want to sleep in good luck. I will reiterate that the staff is very friendly and accommodating. There’s some nice perks in the lobby but I don’t think it balances the experience in the rooms.

Great location. Showers were awful. Small, and flat to room , so water everywhere and we had to use our towels to keep from slipping. Soaking wet room. Also, be warned, if you do not specifically ask for your room to be cleaned, they will not clean it. We found out after 4 pm. Asked cleaning staff if they planned to clean our room, they seemed to understand. Asked front desk and the gal seemed a bit put out and stated we are to ask for the room to be cleaned. We did get our towels picked up that day and new towels and I asked the cleaning woman to empty our full trash baskets. Our beds a mess, which is disappointing as the cost of the trip, but overall, the area made up for it. Will not be staying there again.

I actually really liked the small rooms. They had a certain charm — cozy, unpretentious, almost endearing in their simplicity. That said, I do wish they were better soundproofed. You’ll hear everything that goes on in the hallway, and I mean everything.
The sweet, tender moments between families.
The hushed giggles of lovers sharing a private joke.
The guttural symphony of someone purging their late-night choices into a wastebasket.
It’s all part of the ambiance, I suppose — an unexpectedly intimate glimpse into the lives of strangers. If you're a light sleeper or value privacy, pack earplugs. But if you don't mind a little audio theatre with your stay, there's something oddly human about it.

Great property, would definitely stay again on a short trip. Rooms are on the smaller side, but it’s a small boutique hotel the staff and the lobby make up for the size of the room.

This property appears newly renovated, and has a European flair. It is very small, and the rooms are small too, but well put together, and maximizes space. You are centrally located to everything, and two blocks from Stearns Wharf/beach
