United States of AmericaWe enjoyed the friendly and very attentive staff who made every effort to ensure our comfort and address any special needs we had. This location is quiet, beautifully landscaped and impeccably maintained. You are walking distance to restaurants, shopping, churches and large city parks and Santa Barbara's Botanical Gardens. The owner Christine, greats guests in the morning during breakfast and shares stories about the unique property, the town or current events and their importance to Santa Barbara. The price of our stay was very reasonable considering the quality of our room, the amenities, the delicious food, the off-street parking and more importantly, the great memories we will enjoy for a lifetime that our experience at the Cheshire Cat Inn gave us.
United States of AmericaWe loved the ambiance! Being able to stay in a place that is so rich in history was a delight. Facilities are very well kept, staff were a delight, and every bit of the property was charming. Communication prior to our stay, and during our stay was wonderful. This place is close to downtown, and we were able to walk to dinner and shopping. We will be telling others about this place and will definitely stay here again!
