"Very clean room and nice, hospitable staff. The place has about 10 rooms, bungalows with free parking right on property \[U-shape, sitting area in the middle and all the bungalows facing the parking lot\]. The room had everything I needed: fridge, water bottles, snacks available in the lobby\]. I didn't use the free bicycles because of my itinerary, but was a nice amenity. I would stay again for sure."

"We loved our stay at the Cheshire Cat Inn. Everything from the easy check in, our cottage was adorable and spotless and the delicious breakfast delivered to our door every morning. The location is great, close enough to state street but also quiet and peaceful. We have stayed in Santa Barbara many times, usually closer to or right on the ocean which is beautiful but can be very noisy since the highway runs along the shoreline. We will definitely stay here again!"

"Staff was very courteous (CJ and Ben). I had some iPhone issues and had to get some assistance with fixing it.
