room very well appointed- staff especially Jose wa Amazing! Was our first visit but will definitely return

good location, great facilities. provision of breakfast and other supplies meant we saved a fortune while we were there

The staff were exceptionally friendly. The extra touches such as afternoon wine/snacks, a list of local wineries/breweries, plus free Californian sparkling wine in the room were lovely. Really clean room (and we took advantage of housekeeping on our 3rd day). Loved the pool! We borrowed bikes on most days we were there from the sister hotel across the road (we also did laundry there for $5 which was handy). Overall a brilliant stay!

The afternoon wine & nibbles were a lovely touch. Breakfast was really good and enjoyed eating it in our room. Staff friendly & helpful. Hotel in great position for Downtown and Harbour Very nice to be upgraded to the suite Overall we thank you for a memorable stay

It’s in a great location, close to the beach and a 10 minute walk to State Street. It’s set in a very pretty garden and our room was very comfortable. We loved the additional touches of champagne in the fridge on arrival, wine in the afternoon and the lavender bag on the bed. It was an added bonus to have a light breakfast available and free parking. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent property. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Liked the extra touches of breakfast and wine hour. Good Location. Compared to other properties in the area good value.

gentleman atdesk helped me locatea restaurant where I was driving to in Santa Barbara by giving me detailed driving and parking information. Thank you

Highly recommended hotel, a guy named Oren at the reception was great! Convenient location, 5 minutes walk from the sea and the main (state) street. Rooms are clean and comfortable but very small. Queen bed for single only and not a couple.

Great location. Staff was friendly and helpful, and more than willing to give us little extras. They upgraded our room without us,asking, at no extra,charge. Our second stay at this inn, and we will definitely be back.

Motel Sympa, accueil agréable, chambre cosy, matelas confortable. doute sur la climatisation en été (les eu besoin en novembre).
