A Gem in Santa Barbara
Sam was an excellent concierge. He gave us great tips of things to do and where to eat. We used the complimentary bicycles and enjoyed a great ride by the beach and through downtown. The room was spacious and clean with a full size kitchenette. The landscaping was well groomed and beautiful. The breakfast was perfect! Fresh pastries, yogurt parfaits and crustless quiche. Great proximity to the harbor and beaches. We loved this place!! We are already planning to come back.

It was generally nice and good location. The only issues were noisy plumbing, shower was alt scorching hot/ freezing cold when nearby shower in use (fine if no one else was showering nearby). Traffic was noisy at around 7:30 am, which wasn’t welcome for late risers like us.

Very mediocre. One or two stars max. Near the harbor is a misnomer. This was not convenient to anywhere. Far from restaurant. Far from the beach. Far from state street. Very loud as it is on a main road .
