room very well appointed- staff especially Jose wa Amazing! Was our first visit but will definitely return
United Kingdomgood location, great facilities. provision of breakfast and other supplies meant we saved a fortune while we were there
United KingdomThe 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!
United KingdomThe 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
United KingdomIt’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.
United KingdomExcellent 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.
United Kingdomgentleman atdesk helped me locatea restaurant where I was driving to in Santa Barbara by giving me detailed driving and parking information. Thank you
United StatesHighly 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.
United StatesGreat 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.
United StatesMotel Sympa, accueil agréable, chambre cosy, matelas confortable. doute sur la climatisation en été (les eu besoin en novembre).
