Unfortunately as much as I wanted to love this hotel with it's history, it was not the best stay for us. The location was great, walking distance to the beach/restaurants, but the room we had was very old and run down. We did not stay in the main building, so I cannot speak for that, but our room was more like studio apartment style with kitchen and the bathroom was very very old. This property has so much potential, but needs some updates.
Very cozy and charming hotel that is at walk distance of the beach and downtown. The room was confortable and clean. The staff were welcoming and helpful.
We love our stay at this “classic” spanish style Santa barbara hotel. Beautiful setting and our large upstairs room had a balcony with a view of the town, the sea and the mountains
Very peaceful yet close to the sea, the restaurants, the funk zone and downtown Santa Barbara

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
There was no ironing board or Iron
The TV didn’t work properly
But Location is everything
Street parking. Walking distance to beach/pier/ State St. Room was small and outdated. No A/C, had to open all windows which exposed us to mosquito bites.
The room felt like home was very impressed with the kitchen the beds were amazing to sleep in

Decent stay just don’t understand the $50 fee after my stay. impossible to get ahold of front desk breakfast is just cereal and a outdated waffle maker. Room was nice a lot of improvements need to be made to improve overall experience.
An excellent find on the shore, rich with age, character and history. I’ll definitely go back.

Breakfast items are very limited. Not many options. Property at a prime location, but the rooms are cozy compared to price.
The location is perfect.
The staff is very helpful and friendly. However, the cleanliness of the room is terrible. The sofa is disgusting, as are the floor and the bathroom.
