Beautiful hotel. From the lobby to the staircase to the rooms, it was beautiful. There's a water bar on the floors so no need to buy water (both sparkling and still options) which was a nice surprise! Friendly staff too. The only thing I wished for was a speedier elevator but as we were on the second floor with not a lot of luggage, it was fine. Will stay again for sure!

I was in town for a wedding and this hotel was perfect for my first time in Santa Barbara. The renovations are beautiful and the staff could not have been better. Fantastic location - I was able to walk to all 3 wedding events and down to the pier one morning. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
