Lovely clean, very well kept hotel in a safe mostly residential community. Very reasonably priced and everyone connected with the hotel was very kind, friendly, and hard-working. However, it is not within walking distance of any of the events, etc. in Santa Barbara. We had to take an Uber everywhere.

We loved our stay here. But the only recommendation I have is to update the queen mattresses. They were uncomfortable if you are sharing a queen bed.

Our room was large, clean and had a shower and bathroom designed for people with disabilities. The Live Oak restaurant was excellent, with great food selections. There was a nice clean pool with disability access and a large custom bird cage with housing for about 40-50 small finches that everyone enjoyed, especially children. We even had luncheon reserved at Live Oak for 9 of our family members so we could be together and enjoy the great food. The only problem was their Internet wifi was not working consistently while we were there.
