Beautiful property, newly renovated, nice features and amenities. Very clean. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara making walking or biking easy to most attractions. Valet parking and free bikes available. Because of it’s central location, it was very noisy on weekends with late night club goers.

Liked: Cleanliness
Staff was ok, nothing special and not too welcoming. Rooms were nice and well kept but very small, so small that the a cabinet was blocking access to the closet. Hotel was clean but considering the room size and other things, not worth the money. 1st time there and probably won't go back because I've stayed at better.
