The location was very good for Stearns Warf and States St. It was very clean and the room was very nice. Pity about the weather.

The Continental Breakfast was a good inclusion. The availability of tea and coffee all day was an added bonus. Rooms are a good size with comfortable beds.

A fantastic spot in Santa Barbara. Luxurious accommodations, stylish and very comfortable. Helpful nice staff at the front desk. Walking distance to the pier and a little bit further to state street. Will stay again.

Darya United States

The location was good, close to the harbour. The room was great and the bed and bedding was one of the best. Tea and coffee facilities in the room was very handy and the reception also has snacks to take which was nice as we checked in late. We only stayed one night but it was a very comfortable night.
