“Great Location and a lovely inn.”

This was a great place to stay. The continental breakfast, the wine and cheese in the afternoon and the cookies and milk were a hit with all of us. My family of 4 with 2 kids under 12 loved this little inn. We used the pool, the complimentary bike usage filled our leisure time and all the complimentary food was icing on the cake. We would definitely stay here again. The kids didn't want to leave. The room was very clean and the dated interior added to the charm.

Comment from the hotel's management
Thank you very much for sharing your kind comments about our Inn with your fellow Expedia travelers. We love to hear when guests enjoy our complimentary continental breakfast, relax during our afternoon wine & cheese reception, cozy up with our evening milk & cookies, and explore the city using our free beach cruisers. We look forward to when your family can visit us again! Warmly,
, Hotel Management

“A delightful small hotel”

We were extremely pleased with this hotel and would go back there again if we could. staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was large and well appointed and we enjoyed all the extras, wine and cheese, cookies and apple cider etc/ The continental breakfast was adequate-it could have had a little more variety but we liked it.

Area recommendations
We enjoyed the historic places in Santa Barb particularly the Mission. State St. the main thoroughfare is very interesting but driving in Santa Barbara is not easy especially at night. There are a lot of one way streets and the parking garages are well hidden. We spent a wonderful day in the mountains and thoroughly enjoyed Solvang. Coming from extreme cold we loved the weather and the beaches,
Dining
Restaurants were expensive and wine exorbitant! The art museum's cafe was pretentious but the Beach Restaurant and Joes's cafe were excellent. Don't go to the zoo! It needs a lot of updating and more animals. It was warm during the day but got quite cold at night.

“Trip to Santa Barbara”

This is a well remodeled and upgraded motel from likely the 60's? I found it all that I needed and more for a one night business trip to Santa Barbara. It has a very casual home like setting and has been well restored with added amenities. My room had a living area as well as a kitchen. I would recommend it to either business travelers as well as families.

Area recommendations
Well Lower State Street and the Water Front are always fun

“Excellent service.”

We moved to this hotel after finding that the first hotel we stayed in was too far from the town centre and the beach. We thought it was very well located and it was possible to walk to State Street which is the main centre for restaurants and shops and to the sea. We found hotel staff really helpful and friendly. The free bicycles were a nice touch. We would definitely go back to this very pleasant hotel in the beautiful town of Santa Barbara.

Area recommendations
The whole town is beautiful with its Spanish style architecture and the backdrop of the mountains and the sea. The Old Mission is well worth a visit with its lovely gardens and impressive church. For a panorama of the town, don't miss the view from the top of the court house.
When to go
Early September seemed perfect to us- wonderful weather, no marine layer.

“Cute and Quaint”

My husband and I stayed here for a couple of days. They have a nice wine and cheese reception in the evening with milk and cookies afterwards, as well as a continental breakfast with a decent variety of items. Our room was very comfortable with a great bed. We loved the location and the free food, wine, internet access and parking. Deserves a better rating!

“I'll stay here again!”

This is very convenient location; a few blocks from the waterfront and quiet. The hotel is older, but well maintained. Each and every staff person was welcoming and helpful. The extras offered by this hotel are many.... an excellent continental breakfast, afternoon wine and cheese, free use of bikes, free dvds to watch. I definitely would stay here again!

Getting around
I highly recommend going car-free in Santa Barbara. There are two electric shuttle bus routes (one along the waterfront, the other up and down State Street, the main shopping district) which are only 25 cents each direction! I did a round trip on the waterfront shuttle to get a "lay of the land". I also took the State Street/Downtown shuttle about half way, then walked through a couple lovely parks and residential neighborhoods to get to the Santa Barbara mission. The next day I took the waterfront shuttle to get to the zoo... then strolled back to the Stearns Wharf (and finally my hotel) along the beach walk.

“Home feel”

It was like apartments turned into hotel rooms but really comfortable. The cookies were great and the breakfast selection was perfect.

“Free bikes, yummy food and nice people”

The hotel is easy to find off the freeway and presents well. It is a late check in at 3 pm but that is my only gripe. We used the free bikes for a ride along the beachfront and pier. Frank had just made some yummy cookies so we took one each for energy. We arrived back for the wine and cheese in the lobby which allowed the guests to have a chat, mingle and swap travel tips and stories which was a nice way to end the day before going out to dinner. The beds were comfy and the rooms were very clean and well appointed. The pool and spa was great for the kids. The breakfast, included in the room price, was delicious and I am a very fussy eater, so that is high praise indeed. The staff were very nice and helpful - I highly recommend this hotel

Area recommendations
As the shopping here is fantastic, somewhere up closer to the top end of State street

“Over priced”

This SB location has many nicer hotels in the same price range within walking distance and closer to the beach. I've personally stayed at 4 of them.. Here the rooms are very clean and the staff is very nice, however the hotel is like stepping back in time to 1970. Looks like an apartment building from the 70's and is still furnished accordingly. in Room 14 you wake to the sound of a busy street. Pictures online are a bit misleading. If you're staying for a long time i can see how the suite i had would be nice as it has a full kitchen. Included breakfast is good and on par with surrounding hotels. Enjoy
