What can I say about this place! The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and nice. The location is fantastic, close to State St and the pier/beach/Marina, all within walking distance even with a toddler. The breakfast was quite good, featuring rare GF bread, blueberries, eggs, sausage, yogurt, toast, coffee, and more. Considering the reasonable price of the suite we stayed in, I have no complaints. :) Great place!!

We loved the old mission and spend a lot of time in the hotel.
I didn‘t like the pier. Everywhere were cars and parking lots instead of nice sitting opportunities. there were a lot of homeless people, too.

Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful!!!
Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful!!! It was really lush and green there! The wildflowers were blooming everywhere! The mountains and hills were super lush and green and very beautiful! The Botanical Gardens are incredible and are filled with poppies and wildflowers! The Mission, Courthouse, State Street, Stearns Wharf, and Alice Peck Park are all amazing places to visit! The weather was a perfect 73 degrees for most of my trip, until the last day. The people were all very nice and pleasant to deal with. Brophy's, at the Harbor has the best fish and chips that I have ever had!! There were some whales right off of the Harbor that I was privileged to see! There was also an awesome feeding frenzy that brought in hundreds of pelicans and cormorants to dive into the water at the same time!! It was phenomenal to watch. People who have lived in Santa Barbara all of their lives have never seen anything like it!!! It was an absolutely amazing trip!

We visited in February when unknown to us was the film festival, the weather was perfect, town seemed quiet even with film festival which was a bonus, still able to grab tickets. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, lots with outdoor eating with patio heaters. We enjoyed the SB Whale watching trip we did, small exclusive boat made us feel VIPs and saw plenty of humpback whales. Easy to walk around the town, but also easy to drive and explore neighbouring Montecito

For seafood, Lure is amazing!!! Chad's and Cajun Kitchen are great breakfast spots.
If you are there on Sunday, see the Art/Craft Market at the Beach. Lots of amazing stuff and all the vendors are so friendly.
Also, a huge recommendation to Olive Hill Farms in Los Olivos. Great place for oils and vinegars.

Loved the beautiful landscaping and architecture everywhere.
Loved the beautiful landscaping and architecture everywhere. Clean city and easy to navigate while driving but MapQuest misguided me numerous times. Excellent ethnic food restaurants. Lots of choices. I’m recommending “Meet Up” Chinese, “Your Place” Thai and “Masala Spice” Indian foods. Meet Up was first place I’ve ever been served by a robot!!!! Very cool!
The motel room I used was very clean and quiet. I slept very well as the large bed was very comfortable. The bathroom especially the shower were very good with no major issues. The room was well heated. The location was very good as it was within walking distance of Mission Santa Barbara in a very nice area. There was a bus stop right outside the motel so one could easily reach downtown.
Both the man and woman I dealt with were very friendly and helpful.
Newly built little hotel on the beachfront of Santa Barbara, part of a larger corporate hotel chain. Everything as expected. Very spacious, clean and fully equipped rooms, thoroughly soundproof. Corporate style ambience, everything in the room brand new. Hotel built in tasteful Mexican style architecture with attention to detail. Excellent service. Within walking distance of Santa Barbara main attractions.
Friendly and accommodating staff. Proximity to the beach and downtown was excellent. Facilities were clean for a motor lodge / motel / inn style property. Free parking (big plus for Santa Barbara!). Wifi worked and had no issues. Excellent coffee by hotel standards. Our Room had a kitchen that accommodated our needs. Heated pool was nice. Replied to all requests / questions via text quickly.
Very nice rooms, modern and comfortable furniture. We had a mini suite, so we had one bedroom and the kids in the living room in a pull-out sofa - great. Pool is nice and the breakfast is really good! Nice lobby area too, light and by the beach. Good location, just quite far from downtown and restaurants, at least 20-25 min walk. But near beach and the pier is 10 min away.
The owner was friendly and honest. I was so tired I did not realize l left my cell phone at the lobby. I was in my room less than five minutes. Someone knocks on the door and it was the hotel owner with my cell phone! My room was clean with a comfortable bed. I was in town for the Santa Barbara Film Festival and the hotel was on the same street as the theatre!
Tremendous value, newly refurbished room in a convenient location close to downtown Santa Barbara and the harbor.
But what really won me over was good coffee and the most incredible French pastry, all free with our stay. Come to think of it, so many aspects of staying in this place made me think of Parisienne hotels.
Great location, close enough to downtown Santa Barbara but not in the busy area so it was nice to have a quiet stay. Area was nice and felt safe. Hotel was clean and staff was nice. Felt it was priced a bit high but it was a holiday weekend. Would definitely stay there again.
Location: The Hotel is near the beach but has no beach view. Great location to have an evening walk and dinner at a restaurant on a beach.
Room: Is very clean. It was a very pleasant experience.
Parking: First come - first serve, but we didn't have any issues on that day.
The staff were very friendly helping us out with early check in. We hired bikes from the hotel for free and loved the freshly baked cookies that they put out in the afternoon. An easy walk to the Santa Barbara beach front. Would definitely recommend.
Huge room size with view of the ocean. Beach was located right across the street, but the hotel was a little far from the main downtown area. The only option to park your car is with the hotel's paid valet. Nice amenities (pool, gym, bocce court).
We had the two room suite which was very reasonable in price, and was great for a relaxing getaway. Location is good for walking around Santa Barbara including the wharf and downtown areas. Good restaurants nearby too.
Location, location, location!! Best spot in Santa Barbara. Lobby area is beautiful. Staff are excellent- Santa Barbara Friendly, even though the hotel seemed to be understaffed during our stay.
