Great location, 2 blocks from the waterfront and within walking distance to many restaurants and places of interest. The property is well maintained, with onsite parking. Pool area is in the courtyard, quiet, and receives morning and afternoon sun. complimentary breakfast in the morning, and wine & cheese during happy hour. Also, there are 2 other sister properties close by guests are able to access including bikes. The room was very large with a kitchen and breakfast area, spacious bathroom, and updates amenities. Very clean, very attentive maid service. All staff were very friendly and helpful, and inquired at every opportunity if everything was okay, or if anything was needed. Overall, this was a great experience. Thank you.

Really loved this hotel. Room was great as included a full kitchen which we made use of. Pool and hot tub were great. Never busy when we were there and towels freely available next to the pool. Small offerings of drinks in reception was nice and also good value. And made use of the cheese and wine freebie which was a nice touch. Yes breakfast area was not very big and in colder months might be challenging if no one goes to use the outside tables. But the food offered was great and good selection. Beds were comfy.

This is a very cute place. My wife really likes the inner courtyard…quaint and cozy. The rooms are a bit dated but still cute. Feels more like a B&B than a hotel. The sparkling wine was a nice touch for our VIP package! This is our second time staying here, both for UCSB parent’s weekend. While about 10min from campus, it was only a couple minutes to State street and all that it offers. You can walk to the main beach/pier easily. I wish the pool/hot tub hours ran later though! Closing at 9pm is too early!
