Great 2-night Stay!
It's was just what I needed in terms of accommodations and lodging is concerned. Overall very clean and presentable hotel, had nice eye-catching colorful visuals around the location. Very close proximity to the beaches and parking was always accessible. No complaints here

Excellent Hotel with Great Staff
This is a great hotel. We have visited almost all the hotels in this area because my daughter studies in UCSB, and after all, we really love this hotel. The rooms are clean, and the staff (Rodolfo and his manager) are really amazing. They upgrade our room every time we visit, and give us a better room with a beautiful view facing the park. I and my daughter really appreciate what they do.

This was a beautiful hotel. It’s so quaint and beautifully themed for Santa Barbara. I loved the courtyard to sit and relax and it’s so close to the pier and dining options! The room was spacious and very clean and the beds were so comfy!
