Great location and great cosy ambience. I loved the bathtub with a huge window, giving a very outdoorsy bath feel. Lots of old-fashioned wood used in the room, adding great aesthetics. The owner has made efforts to decorate the rooms tastefully.

What Guests Said About Santa Barbara:

Santa Barbara is beautiful, and a bit weird.
Santa Barbara is beautiful, and a bit weird. It even smells good there! There are numerous small parks, much greenery, beautiful homes, lots of restaurants, and of course, the beach. Beware - many one-way streets, and the main street is closed to traffic for several blocks. But still, it's pretty much paradise.
Laurel United States of America -
It is a must to visit their museum.
It is a must to visit their museum. It had a great variety of interesting exhibits, art, an outdoor full scale dinosaur experience and a butterfly pavilion. Eat at Joe's for the best pancakes!!! The Fish House restaurant was excellent. It is like maybe visiting another country when visiting Santa Barbara.

Beautiful beach and pier with great food.
Beautiful beach and pier with great food. A nice walk along the marina and harbour wall was a good start to the day. There are plenty of shops and restaurants along State and food we were spoiled for choice. A great 2 night break

Overall, a day trip to Santa Barbara would suffice.
Overall, a day trip to Santa Barbara would suffice. They have plenty of food places and a lot of tasting rooms/wineries to choose from. The city is easy to navigate, and the architecture Is beautiful. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience to step away from the fast-paced life of Los Angeles.

Location to the Beach and Jeanine’s restaurant
Location to the Beach and Jeanine’s restaurant Front desk/hotel not transparent on how they billed and used my credit card without my approval as I was told that payment would be collected on check out. I am still trying to get the charges corrected. We had ants, no replacement of shower gel, toilet paper and the the bathroom smelled of sewage coming from the sink

It is very affordable compared to other places. It’s quieter where we were at and that made our weekend trip relaxing and enjoyable.
